| pars terminalis | See: middle cerebral artery, posterior cerebral artery. Synonym: terminal part. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| crista terminalis | A vertical crest on the interior wall of the right atrium that lies to the right of the sinus of the vena cava and separates this from the remainder of the right atrium. Synonym: tenia terminalis, terminal crest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stria terminalis | A slender, compact fibre bundle that connects the amygdala (amygdaloid body) with the hypothalamus and other basal forebrain regions. Originating from the amygdala, the bundle passes first caudalward in the roof of the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle; it follows the medial side of the caudate nucleus forward in the floor of the ventricle's central part (or body) until it reaches the interventricular foramen, in the posterior wall of which it curves steeply down to enter the hypothalamus, with fibres passing both rostral and caudal to the anterior commissure. Coursing caudalward in the medial part of the hypothalamus, the bundle terminates in the anterior and ventromedial hypothalamic nuclei. Synonym: stria terminalis, Foville's fasciculus, Tarin's tenia, tenia saemicircularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| incisura terminalis auris | A deep notch separating the lamina tragi and cartilage of the external auditory meatus from the main auricular cartilage, the two being connected below by the isthmus. Synonym: incisura terminalis auris, auricular notch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tenia terminalis | A vertical crest on the interior wall of the right atrium that lies to the right of the sinus of the vena cava and separates this from the remainder of the right atrium. Synonym: tenia terminalis, terminal crest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lamina terminalis cerebri | A thin plate passing upward from the optic chiasm and forming the rostral boundary of the third ventricle; membrane closing the rostral neuropore. Synonym: lamina terminalis cerebri, lamina cinerea, terminal plate, velum terminale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lamina terminalis of cerebrum | A thin plate passing upward from the optic chiasm and forming the rostral boundary of the third ventricle; membrane closing the rostral neuropore. Synonym: lamina terminalis cerebri, lamina cinerea, terminal plate, velum terminale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fossa terminalis urethrae | The terminal dilated portion of the urethra in the glans penis. Synonym: fossa navicularis urethrae, fossa terminalis urethrae, Morgagni's fossa, Morgagni's fovea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| linea terminalis | An oblique ridge on the inner surface of the ilium and continued on the pubis, which forms the lower boundary of the iliac fossa; it separates the true from the false pelvis. Synonym: iliopectineal line, terminal line. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolobuccal sulcus | The upper and lower half of the buccal vestibule on each side. Synonym: alveolobuccal sulcus, gingivobuccal groove, gingivobuccal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveololabial sulcus | The upper and lower half of the labial vestibule, in the embryo, the groove formed by the deepening of the labial sulcus; its inner wall becomes incorporated with the alveolar process of the mandible or the maxilla, and its outer wall with the lips and cheeks. Synonym: alveololabial sulcus, gingivolabial groove, gingivolabial sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveololingual sulcus | That part of the oral cavity proper, on each side of the frenulum linguae, between the tongue and the mandibular alveolar process or ridge, in the embryo, the groove on each side between the lingual primordium and the alveolar elevations of the mandible. Synonym: alveololingual sulcus, gingivolingual groove, gingivolingual sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ampullary sulcus | The groove on the external surface of the ampulla of each saemicircular duct where the nerve enters the crista ampullaris. Synonym: sulcus ampullaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior intermediate sulcus | A furrow occasionally seen in the adult between the anterior median fissure and the anterior lateral sulcus of the spinal cord but usually present only in the foetus. It indicates the lateral border of the anterior corticospinal fasciculus. Synonym: anterior intermediate groove, sulcus intermedius anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior parolfactory sulcus | A fissure marking the anterior border of the parolfactory area. Synonym: sulcus parolfactorius anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
