| fasciculus semilunaris | A compact bundle composed of descending branches of posterior root fibres located near the border between the fasciculi gracilis and cuneatus of the cervical and thoracic spinal cord; it corresponds to the septomarginal fasciculus, Hoche's tract, or oval area of Flechsig in the lumbar, and to the triangle of Philippe-Gombault in the sacral spinal segments; like these, it can be demonstrated only in cases of demyelination resulting from dorsal root lesions. Synonym: fasciculus semilunaris, fasciculus interfascicularis, comma bundle of Schultze, comma tract of Schultze, interfascicular fasciculus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| linea semilunaris | The slight groove in the external abdominal wall parallel to the lateral edge of the rectus sheath. Synonym: semilunar line, Spigelius' line. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobulus semilunaris inferior | The part of the superior surface of the cerebellar hemisphere lying behind the horizontal fissure. Synonym: lobulus semilunaris inferior, crus II, posterior lunate lobule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobulus semilunaris superior | The part of the superior surface of the cerebellar hemisphere lying rostral to the horizontal fissure, and adjoining the folium of the vermis. Synonym: lobulus semilunaris superior, anterior lunate lobule, crus I. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lunula valvulae semilunaris | The free border of a semilunar valve at each side of the nodulus valvulae semilunaris. Synonym: lunula valvulae semilunaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenomatous polyposis coli | An autosomal dominant polyposis syndrome in which the colon contains few to thousands of adenomatous polyps, often occurring by age 15 to 25. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adhesins, escherichia coli | Thin, filamentous protein structures, including proteinaceous capsular antigens (fimbrial antigens), that mediate adhesion of e. Coli to surfaces and play a role in pathogenesis. They have a high affinity for various epithelial cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Amoeba coli | The old, incorrect name Entamoeba coli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Balantidium coli | A very large parasitic ciliate species, usually 50 to 80 um in length, reaching up to 200 um in pigs, found in the caecum or large intestine, swimming actively in the lumen; usually harmless in man but may invade and ulcerate the intestinal wall, producing a colitis resembling amoebic dysentery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| campylobacter coli | A species of gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria isolated from the intestinal tract of swine, poultry, and man. It may be pathogenic. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cellulae coli | haustra of colon |
| melanosis coli | Melanosis of the large intestinal mucosa due to accumulation of pigment of uncertain composition within macrophages in the lamina propria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coli granuloma | <veterinary> A granulomatous disease of the intestines and liver of chickens, due to coliform organisms. Synonym: coli granuloma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pneumatosis coli | A usually benign condition in which gas is seen radiographically in the wall of the colon; sometimes associated with obstructive lung disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polyposis coli | Hereditary disorder (Mendelian dominant) characterised by the development of hundreds of adenomatous polyps in the large intestine, which show a tendency to progress to malignancy. The APC gene has also been implicated in a chromosome 5 gastric and pancreatic cancer. (18 Nov 1997) |
