| anterior longitudinal ligament | <anatomy> The wide fibrous band interconnecting the anterior surfaces of the vertebral bodies. Synonym: lacertus medius, ligamentum longitudinale anterius. (05 Mar 2000) |

| medial longitudinal arch of foot | Formed by the calcaneus, talus, navicular, three cuneiform bones, and the three medial metatarsals. Synonym: arcus pedis longitudinalis pars medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial longitudinal bundle | A longitudinal bundle of fibres extending from the upper border of the mesencephalon into the cervical segments of the spinal cord, located close to the midline and ventral to the central gray matter; it is composed largely of fibres from the vestibular nuclei ascending to the motor neurons innervating the external eye muscles (abducens, trochlear, and oculomotor nuclei), and descending to spinal cord segments innervating the musculature of the neck. Synonym: fasciculus longitudinalis medialis, Collier's tract, medial longitudinal bundle, posterior longitudinal bundle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial longitudinal fasciculus | A longitudinal bundle of fibres extending from the upper border of the mesencephalon into the cervical segments of the spinal cord, located close to the midline and ventral to the central gray matter; it is composed largely of fibres from the vestibular nuclei ascending to the motor neurons innervating the external eye muscles (abducens, trochlear, and oculomotor nuclei), and descending to spinal cord segments innervating the musculature of the neck. Synonym: fasciculus longitudinalis medialis, Collier's tract, medial longitudinal bundle, posterior longitudinal bundle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial longitudinal stria | A thin longitudinal band of nerve fibres accompanied by gray matter, running along the surface of the corpus callosum on either side of the median line. Together with the lateral longitudinal stria it forms part of a thin layer of gray matter on the dorsal surface of the corpus callosum, the indusium griseum, a rudimentary component of the hippocampus. Synonym: stria longitudinalis medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial part of longitudinal arch of foot | medial part of longitudinal arch of foot |
| median longitudinal raphe of tongue | <anatomy> Median groove or median longitudinal raphe of tongue; raphe linguae; a slight longitudinal depression running forward on the dorsal surface of the tongue from the foramen caecum. Synonym: sulcus medianus linguae, median longitudinal raphe of tongue, raphe linguae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| great longitudinal fissure | The deep cleft separating the two hemispheres of the cerebrum. Synonym: fissura longitudinalis cerebri, great longitudinal fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior longitudinal bundle | A longitudinal bundle of fibres extending from the upper border of the mesencephalon into the cervical segments of the spinal cord, located close to the midline and ventral to the central gray matter; it is composed largely of fibres from the vestibular nuclei ascending to the motor neurons innervating the external eye muscles (abducens, trochlear, and oculomotor nuclei), and descending to spinal cord segments innervating the musculature of the neck. Synonym: fasciculus longitudinalis medialis, Collier's tract, medial longitudinal bundle, posterior longitudinal bundle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior longitudinal ligament | <anatomy> The fibrous band interconnecting the posterior surfaces of the vertebral bodies; it narrows to pass between the pedicles and spreads out to blend with the posterior annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral discs; forms the anterior wall of the vertebral canal. Synonym: ligamentum longitudinale posterius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| section, longitudinal | A cut along the long axis of a structure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| study, longitudinal | A study done over the passage of time. For example, a longitudinal study of children with down syndrome (trisomy 21) might involve the study of 100 children with this condition from birth to 10 years of age. Also called a diachronic study. The opposite of a cross-sectional (synchronic) study. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dorsal longitudinal fasciculus | A bundle of thin, poorly myelinated nerve fibres reciprocally connecting the periventricular zone of the hypothalamus with ventral parts of the central gray substance of the midbrain. Synonym: fasciculus longitudinalis dorsalis, Schutz' bundle, tract of Schutz. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior longitudinal fasciculus | A well marked bundle of long association fibres running the whole length of the occipital and temporal lobes of the cerebrum, in part parallel with the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle. Synonym: fasciculus longitudinalis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior longitudinal muscle of tongue | An intrinsic muscle of the tongue, cylindrical in shape, occupying the underpart on either side; action, shortens the lower part of the tongue; nerve supply, motor by hypoglossal, sensory by lingual. Synonym: musculus longitudinalis inferior, inferior lingual muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
