| posterior hypothalamic nucleus | A large, periventricular hypothalamic nucleus located dorsal to the mamillary body, continuous with the central gray substance of the mesencephalon. Synonym: nucleus posterior hypothalami. (05 Mar 2000) |

| posterior medial nucleus of thalamus | Medial part of the ventrobasal nuclear complex. See: ventral posterior nucleus of thalamus. Synonym: nucleus ventralis posteromedialis thalami. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior periventricular nucleus | A nucleus located in the middle hypothalamus in the most ventral part of the third ventricle near the entrance of the infundibular recess. Its small cells are in close contact with the ependyma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nucleus posterior hypothalami | A large, periventricular hypothalamic nucleus located dorsal to the mamillary body, continuous with the central gray substance of the mesencephalon. Synonym: nucleus posterior hypothalami. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nucleus ventralis posterior intermedius thalami | Intermediate part of the ventrobasal nuclear complex. See: ventral posterior nucleus of thalamus. Synonym: ventral posterior intermediate nucleus of thalamus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nucleus ventralis posterior thalami | The large posterior part of the ventral nucleus of the thalamus receiving the somatic sensory lemnisci (medial lemniscus, spinothalamic tract, trigeminal lemniscus) and the ascending gustatory (taste) lemniscus, and projecting in turn by way of the internal capsule to the cortex of the postcentral gyrus. The nucleus is somatotopically organised and subdivided into a ventral posterolateral nucleus of thalamus representing the leg, a ventral posterior intermediate nucleus of thalamus representing the arm, a ventral posteromedial nucleus of thalamus representing the face, and an arcuate nucleus of thalamus receiving the gustatory lemniscus. Synonym: nucleus ventralis posterior thalami, ventrobasal nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory | In anatomy, denoting certain muscles, nerves, glands, etc. That are auxiliary or supernumerary to some similar, generally more important thing. Synonym: accessorius. Origin: L. Accessorius, fr. Ac-cedo, pp. -cessus, to move toward (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory adrenal | An island of cortical tissue separate from the adrenal gland, usually found in the retroperitoneal tissues, kidney, or genital organs. Synonym: adrenal rest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory atrium | <cardiology, embryology> A congenital anomaly characterised by the presence in the atrium of a perforated muscular membrane which separates the atrium into upper and lower chambers. (12 Dec 1998) |
| accessory auricles | Small, fleshy nodules or folds, sometimes with supporting cartilage, occasionally found along the margins of the embryonic branchial clefts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory breast | A milk-secreting gland located elsewhere than at the normal place on the chest and existing in addition to the two usual mammae. Synonym: mamma accessoria, accessory breast, supernumerary mamma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory canal | A channel leading from the root pulp laterally through the dentin to the periodontal tissue; may be found anywhere in the tooth root, but is more common in the apical third of the root. Synonym: lateral canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory cartilage | A sesamoid cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory cephalic vein | <anatomy, vein> A variable vein that passes along the radial border of the forearm to join the cephalic vein near the elbow. Synonym: vena cephalica accessoria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory chromosome | A chromosome existing without its normal homologous chromosome; at the reduction division of gametogenesis an accessory chromosome is likely to be included in one daughter cell and not in the other, but may be lost completely by lagging behind on the equatorial plate. Synonym: monosome, odd chromosome, unpaired allosome, unpaired chromosome. (05 Mar 2000) |
