| postinfarction ventricular septal defect | A defect developed in the ventricular septum resulting from rupture of an acute myocardial infarction. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| precommissural septal area | A slender vertical whitish band immediately anterior to the lamina terminalis and anterior commissure; contrary to its name, it is not a cortical convolution but is the ventral continuation of the transparent septum. Synonym: area subcallosa, gyrus paraterminalis, gyrus subcallosus, pedunculus corporis callosi, corpus paraterminale, paraterminal body, paraterminal gyrus, peduncle of corpus callosum, precommissural septal area, subcallosal area, Zuckerkandl's convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| heart septal defects | Defects in the cardiac septa, resulting in abnormal communications between the opposite chambers of the heart. (12 Dec 1998) |
| heart septal defects, atrial | Defects in the septum between the atria of the heart, due to failure of fusion between either the septum secundum or the septum primum and the endocardial cushions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| heart septal defects, ventricular | Congenital defects in the septum between the cardiac ventricles, most often due to failure of the bulbar septum to completely close the interventricular foramen. (12 Dec 1998) |
| septal | Relating to a septum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septal area | The region of the cerebral hemisphere that stretches as a thin sheet of brain tissue between the fornix bundle and the ventral surface of the corpus callosum, forming the medial wall of the lateral ventricle's frontal horn; it extends ventrally through the narrow interval between the anterior commissure and the rostrum of corpus collosum as the precommissural septum or subcallosal gyrus, which is continuous caudally with the preoptic area and hypothalamus, as well as more laterally with the innominate substance; its major functional connections are with the hippocampus and hypothalamus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septal artery | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the superior labial artery that supplies the lower part of the nasal septum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septal bone | The tissue intervening between two adjacent pulmonary alveoli; it consists of a close-meshed capillary network covered on both surfaces by very thin alveolar epithelial cells, one of the bony partitions between the tooth sockets. Synonym: septum interalveolare, alveolar septum, septal bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septal branches | The interventricular septal branches; branches of the anterior and posterior interventricular arteries distributed to the muscle of the interventricular septum. Synonym: rami interventriculares septales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septal cell | A round pale cell of the lungs in the septa between the pulmonary alveoli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septal cusp of tricuspid valve | The leaflet of the tricuspid valve located adjacent to the interventricular septum. Synonym: cuspis septalis valvae atrioventricularis dextrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septal defect, atrial | A hole in the septum, the wall, between the atria, the upper chambers of the heart. Commonly called an asd. Asds are a major class of heart deformity that is present at birth (congenital cardiac malformation). (12 Dec 1998) |
| septal defect, ventricular | A hole in the interventricular septum, the wall between the ventricles, the lower chambers of the heart. Commonly called a vsd. Vsds are a common class of heart deformity that is present at birth (congenital cardiac malformation). (12 Dec 1998) |
| septal gingiva | That portion of the gingiva that covers the interdental septum. (05 Mar 2000) |
