| oblique vein of left atrium | A small vein on the posterior wall of the left atrium which merges with the great cardiac vein to form the coronary sinus; it is developed from the left common cardinal vein, and occasionally persists as a left superior vena cava. Synonym: vena obliqua atrii sinistri, Marshall's oblique vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left atrium | <anatomy> The thin-walled chamber of the heart which pumps blood into the left ventricle for ejection into the systemic circulation. (27 Sep 1997) |
| primitive | Undeveloped or in early stages of development, undifferentiated. (16 Dec 1997) |
| primitive aorta | The paired aortic primordia in young embryos. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primitive chorion | The chorion before its villi are well formed. Synonym: previllous chorion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primitive costal arches | Arch's formed in the thoracic region of the vertebral column in the embryo from the costal processes or costal elements which give rise to the ribs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primitive erythroblast | <cell biology> Large cell with euchromatic nucleus found in mammalian embryos. In the mouse, the cells are located in the yolk sac and are responsible for early production of erythrocytes with foetal haemoglobin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| primitive furrow | The median depression in the primitive streak flanked by the primitive ridges. Synonym: primitive furrow. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primitive groove | The median depression in the primitive streak flanked by the primitive ridges. Synonym: primitive furrow. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primitive gut | A flat sheet of intraembryonic endoderm that will change into a tubular gut due to the folding of embryonic body-head, tail and lateral body folds. Synonym: archenteron, celenteron, endodermal canal, subgerminal cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primitive knot | A local thickening of the blastoderm at the cephalic end of the primitive streak of the embryo. Synonym: Hensen's knot, Hensen's node, Hubrecht's protochordal knot, primitive knot, protochordal knot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primitive meninx | The embryonic loose mesenchymatous tissue surrounding the brain and spinal cord; from it the three definite meninges (arachnoidea, dura mater, and pia mater) are derived. Synonym: meninx primitiva. Meninx serosa, obsolete term for arachnoidea; the arachnoid is actually not a serous membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primitive neuroectodermal tumour | A designation used to refer to a group of morphologically similar embryonal neoplasms that arise in intracranial and peripheral sites of the nervous system and which may show various degrees of cellular differentiation; includes medulloblastoma, pineoblastoma, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primitive neuroectodermal tumours | A type of brain tumour. Prenatal diagnosis: diagnosis before birth. Methods for prenatal diagnosis include ultrasound (of the uterus, placenta and developing foetus), chorionic villus sampling to obtain tissue for chromosome or biochemical analysis, amniocentesis to obtain amniotic fluid for the analysis of chromosmes, enzymes, DNA, etc. A growing number of birth defects and diseases are now amenable to prenatal diagnosis. Also called antenatal diagnosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
