| CMN | caudal mediastinal node; cystic medial necrosis |
| caudal flexure | The bend in the lumbosacral region of the embryo. Synonym: sacral flexure. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| caudal ligament | Fibrous bands, remnants of the notochord, that extend from the skin to the coccyx, forming the coccygeal foveola. Synonym: retinaculum caudale, caudal ligament, ligamentum caudale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caudal neuropore | The temporary opening at the extreme caudal end of the neural tube in early embryos; closes at the 25th somite stage. Synonym: posterior neuropore. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caudal neurosecretory system | urohypophysis |
| caudal pancreatic artery | Origin, splenic artery near the left gastroepiploic; distribution, the tail of the pancreas; anastomoses, with other pancreatic arteries. Synonym: arteria caudae pancreatis, caudal pancreatic artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caudal pharyngeal complex | The ultimobranchial body associated with the embryonic fourth and transitory fifth pharyngeal pouches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caudal retinaculum | Fibrous bands, remnants of the notochord, that extend from the skin to the coccyx, forming the coccygeal foveola. Synonym: retinaculum caudale, caudal ligament, ligamentum caudale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caudal sheath | A group of microtubules arranged cylindrically around the caudal pole of the nucleus in a developing spermatozoon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caudal transtentorial herniation | Displacement of medial temporal structures through the incisura, with or without rostrocaudal brainstem shift. Synonym: uncal herniation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caudal transverse fissure | A transverse fissure on the visceral surface of the liver between the caudate and quadrate lobes, lodging the portal vein, hepatic artery, hepatic nerve plexus, hepatic ducts, and lymphatic vessels. Synonym: caudal transverse fissure, portal fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caudal vertebrae | The vertebrae that form the skeleton of the tail. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trigeminal caudal nucleus | The caudal portion of the nucleus of the spinal trigeminal tract (trigeminal nucleus, spinal), a nucleus involved with pain and temperature sensation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anterior nuclei of thalamus | Collective term for three groups of nerve cells which together form the anterior thalamic tubercle: the anteroventral nuclei, a relatively large nucleus; the anteromedial nuclei; and the anterodorsal nuclei, a small (but large-celled) nucleus. The nuclei receive the mamillothalamic tract from the mamillary body, and additional afferents by way of the fornix; they project collectively to the cortex of the cingulate and parahippocampal gyrus. Synonym: nuclei anteriores thalami. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arcuate nuclei | A variable assembly of small cell groups, probably outlying components of the pontine nuclei, on the ventral and medial aspects of the pyramid in the medulla oblongata. Synonym: nuclei arcuati. (05 Mar 2000) |
| autonomic nuclei | Nuclei located in the spinal cord (T1-L2, S2-S4) and in the brainstem (Edinger-Westphal nucleus, superior and inferior salivatory nuclei, dorsal vagal nucleus and parts of the ambiguus nucleus) from which general visceral efferent preganglionic fibres arise; may be sympathetic (T1-L2) or parasympathetic (craniosacral); hypothalamic nuclei/areas function in concert with autonomic nuclei.
