| pupillary border of iris | The inner border of the iris that forms the edge of the pupil. Synonym: margo pupillaris iridis, pupillary margin of iris. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| pupillary dilation | <ophthalmology> The action of stretching or enlarging the pupil for example by atropine. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pupillary distance | The distance between the centre of each pupil; the major reference points in measuring for fitting of spectacle frames and lenses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pupillary functions, abnormal | Conditions in which the pupil does not react normally to dilation and constriction. Signs of pupillary abnormalities originate from the pupil's shape, position, and response to stimulation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pupillary light-near dissociation | A stronger near pupil response than light response; due to weak pupillomotor input, Argyll Robertson pupil, dorsal midbrain syndrome, or to misdirection of ciliary muscle fibres into the iris sphincter. Synonym: light-near dissociation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pupillary margin of iris | The inner border of the iris that forms the edge of the pupil. Synonym: margo pupillaris iridis, pupillary margin of iris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pupillary membrane | Remnants of the central portion of the anterior layer of the iris stroma (the iridopupillary lamina) which occludes the pupil in foetal life, and normally atrophies about the seventh month of gestation. Persistent strands usually stretch across the pupil from one iris collarette to the other, without touching the pupillary margin. Failure to regress is a rare cause of congenital blindness. Synonym: membrana pupillaris, Wachendorf's membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pupillary ruff | The dark-brown, wrinkled rim of the normal pupil. This is the posterior pigment epithelium of the iris showing itself at the pupillary margin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pupillary zone | The central region of the anterior surface of the iris located between the collarette and the pupillary margin. Synonym: zona pupillaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| indirect pupillary reaction | Contraction of the pupil of the fellow eye in consensus with the pupil of the illuminated eye. Synonym: consensual light reflex, indirect pupillary reaction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palpebral part of orbicularis oculi muscle | palpebral part of orbicularis oculi muscle |
| marginal part of orbicularis oris muscle | <anatomy> The part of the orbicularis oris muscle located in the margin of the lips, i.e., the red area. Synonym: pars marginalis musculi orbicularis oris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars labialis musculi orbicularis oris | <anatomy> The major part of the orbicularis oris muscle within the body of the lips. Synonym: pars labialis musculi orbicularis oris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars lacrimalis musculi orbicularis oculi | <anatomy> See: orbicularis oculi muscle. Synonym: pars lacrimalis musculi orbicularis oculi, Duverney's muscle, Horner's muscle, musculus tensor tarsi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars marginalis musculi orbicularis oris | <anatomy> The part of the orbicularis oris muscle located in the margin of the lips, i.e., the red area. Synonym: pars marginalis musculi orbicularis oris. (05 Mar 2000) |
