| negative crystal | <microscopy> A uniaxial crystal is optically negative if epsilon is less than omega A biaxial crystal is said to be optically negative if gamma minus beta is less than beta is less than beta minus alpha. Otherwise the crystal is positive. (05 Aug 1998) |

| arteria cerebri media | <anatomy, artery> One of the two large terminal branches (with anterior cerebral artery) of the internal carotid artery; it passes laterally around the pole of the temporal lobe, then posteriorly in the depth of the lateral cerebral fissure; for descriptive purposes it is divided into three parts: 1) the sphenoidal part (M1 segment of clinical terminology), supplying perforating branches to the internal capsule, thalamus, and striate body; 2) the insular part, supplying branches to the insula and adjacent cortical areas; and 3) the terminal part or cortical part, supplying a large part of the central cortical convexity (the latter two collectively forming M2 segment). Synonym: arteria cerebri media. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria colica media | <anatomy, artery> Origin, superior mesenteric; distribution, transverse colon; anastomoses, right and left colic. Synonym: arteria colica media. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria collateralis media | <anatomy, artery> The posterior terminal branch of the profunda brachii, anastomosing with the arteries which form the articular network of the elbow. Synonym: arteria collateralis media. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria genus media | <anatomy, artery> Origin, popliteal; distribution, synovial membrane and cruciate ligaments of knee joint. Synonym: arteria genus media, arteria articularis azygos. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria meningea media | Origin, maxillary; branches, petrosal, superior tympanic, frontal and parietal; distribution, to parts mentioned and through terminal branches to anterior and middle cranial fossae; anastomoses, meningeal branches of occipital, ascending pharyngeal, ophthalmic and lacrimal, stylomastoid, accessory meningeal branch of maxillary, and deep temporal. Synonym: arteria meningea media. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria rectalis media | <anatomy, artery> Origin, internal iliac; distribution, middle portion of rectum; anastomoses, inferior rectal and superior rectal. Because the latter is a tributary of the portal system, this is a portosystemic or portocaval anastomosis. Synonym: arteria rectalis media, middle haemorrhoidal artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria suprarenalis media | <anatomy, artery> Origin, aorta; distribution, suprarenal gland. Synonym: arteria suprarenalis media. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria temporalis media | <anatomy, artery> Origin, superficial temporal; distribution, temporal fascia and muscle; anastomoses, branches of maxillary. See: intermediate temporal artery, posterior temporal artery. Synonym: arteria temporalis media. (05 Mar 2000) |
