| nodule of semilunar valve | A nodule at the centre of the free border of each semilunar valve at the beginning of the pulmonary artery and aorta. Synonym: nodulus valvulae semilunaris, Arantius' nodule, Bianchi's nodule, corpus arantii, Morgagni's nodule. (05 Mar 2000) |

| superior semilunar lobule | 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) |
| inferior semilunar lobule | 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) |
| internal semilunar fibrocartilage of knee joint | <anatomy> A flat disc-shaped ligament which stabilises and supports the inner aspect of the knee joint. Commonly injured in knee sprains. (27 Sep 1997) |
| Traube's semilunar space | A crescentic space about 12 cm wide, bounded medially by the left border of the sternum, above by an oblique line from the sixth costal cartilage to the lower border of the eighth or ninth rib in the mid-axillary line and below by the costal margin; the percussion tone here is normally tympanitic, because of the underlying stomach, but is modified by pulmonary emphysema, a pleural effusion, or an enlarged spleen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| external semilunar fibrocartilage | A flat disc-shaped ligament which stabilises and supports the outer aspect of the knee joint. Not as commonly injured as the medical meniscus ligament in knee sprains. (27 Sep 1997) |
| lunula of semilunar valve | The free border of a semilunar valve at each side of the nodulus valvulae semilunaris. Synonym: lunula valvulae semilunaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aberrant ganglion | A collection of nerve cells sometimes found on a posterior spinal nerve root between the spinal ganglion and the spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acousticofacial ganglion | A primordial ganglionic cell mass in young embryos which later separates into the acoustic or spiral ganglion of the vestibulocochlear (eighth cranial) nerve and the geniculate ganglion of the facial (seventh cranial) nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Acrel's ganglion | Pseudoganglion on the posterior interosseous nerve on the dorsal aspect of the wrist joint, a cyst on a tendon of an extensor muscle at the level of the wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Andersch's ganglion | <anatomy, nerve> The lower of two sensory ganglion's on the glossopharyngeal nerve as it traverses the jugular foramen. Synonym: ganglion inferius nervi glossopharyngei, Andersch's ganglion, extracranial ganglia, ganglion extracraniale, petrosal ganglion, petrous ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Arnold's ganglion | An autonomic ganglion situated below the foramen ovale medial to the mandibular nerve; its postganglionic, parasympathetic fibres are distributed to the parotid gland. Synonym: ganglion oticum, Arnold's ganglion, auricular ganglion, otoganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| auditory ganglion | An elongated ganglion of bipolar sensory nerve cell bodies on the cochlear part of the vestibulocochlear nerve in the spiral canal of the modiolus; each ganglion cell gives rise to a peripheral process that passes between the layers of the bony spiral lamina to the organ of Corti, and a central axon that enters the hindbrain as a component of the inferior (cochlear) root of the eighth nerve. Synonym: ganglion spirale cochleae, auditory ganglion, cochlear ganglion, Corti's ganglion, spiral cochlear ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| auricular ganglion | An autonomic ganglion situated below the foramen ovale medial to the mandibular nerve; its postganglionic, parasympathetic fibres are distributed to the parotid gland. Synonym: ganglion oticum, Arnold's ganglion, auricular ganglion, otoganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bezold's ganglion | An aggregation of nerve cells in the interatrial septum. (05 Mar 2000) |
