| uvula vesicae | A slight projection into the cavity of the bladder, usually more prominent in old men, just behind the urethral opening, marking the location of the middle lobe of the prostate. Synonym: uvula vesicae, Lieutaud's uvula. (05 Mar 2000) |

| anal sphincter | See: external anal sphincter, internal anal sphincter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anatomical sphincter | An accumulation of muscular circular fibres or specially arranged oblique fibres the function of which is to reduce partially or totally the lumen of a tube, the orifice of an organ, or the cavity of a viscus; the closing component of a pylorus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| annular sphincter | A short thickening of circular muscular fibres, similar to a ring; a ring-shaped sphincter as opposed to a segmental sphincter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antral sphincter | Angular sphincter, thickening of the circular muscular layer forming a proposed intermediate sphincter at the level of the angular notch of the stomach. While the thickening of the circular muscle may indicate the commencement of the pyloric antrum, true functional sphincteric activity distinct from the other peristaltic contractions of the stomach is not observed although some of these may in fact temporarily close off the antrum from the remainder of the stomach lumen. Synonym: antral sphincter, midgastric transverse sphincter, sphincter antri, sphincter intermedius, sphincter of antrum, sphincter of gastric antrum. (05 Mar 2000) |
