| tela choroidea | That portion of the pia mater that covers the ependymal roof or, in the case of the lateral ventricle, medial wall of a cerebral ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tela choroidea inferior | The sheet of pia mater covering the lower part of the ependymal roof of the fourth ventricle. Synonym: tela choroidea ventriculi quarti, tela choroidea inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tela choroidea superior | A double fold of pia mater, enclosing subarachnoid trabeculae, between the fornix above and the epithelial roof of the third ventricle and the thalami below; at each lateral margin is a vascular fringe projecting into the choroidal fissure of the lateral ventricle; on its undersurface are several small vascular projections filling the folds of the ependymal roof of the third ventricle. Synonym: tela choroidea ventriculi tertii, tela choroidea superior, triangular lamella, velum interpositum, velum triangulare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tela choroidea ventriculi quarti | The sheet of pia mater covering the lower part of the ependymal roof of the fourth ventricle. Synonym: tela choroidea ventriculi quarti, tela choroidea inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: tela choroidea ventriculi tertii, tela choroidea superior, triangular lamella, velum interpositum, velum triangulare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tela conjunctiva | <pathology> Rather general term for mesodermally derived tissue that may be more or less specialised. Cartilage and bone are specialised connective tissue, as is blood, but the term is probably better reserved for the less specialised tissue that is rich in extracellular matrix (collagen, proteoglycan etc.) and that surrounds other more highly ordered tissues and organs. (18 Nov 1997) |
| tela elastica | A form of connective tissue in which the elastic fibres predominate; it constitutes the ligamenta flava of the vertebrae and the ligamentum nuchae, especially of quadrupeds; it occurs also in the walls of the arteries and of the bronchial tree, and connects the cartilages of the larynx. Synonym: elastica, tela elastica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tela submucosa | A layer of tissue beneath a mucous membrane. The layer of connective tissue beneath the tunica mucosa. Synonym: tela submucosa, tunica submucosa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tela submucosa pharyngis | The fibrous coat of the pharyngeal wall situated between the mucous and muscular coats; it is attached above to the basilar part of the occipital bone, and the petrous part of the temporal bone. This layer and the mucosa which lines it forms the wall of the non-muscular pharynx (pharyngeal vault) above the superior pharyngesl constrictor muscle. Synonym: fascia pharyngobasilaris, aponeurosis pharyngea, tela submucosa pharyngis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tela subserosa | The layer of connective tissue beneath a serous membrane such as that of the periconeum or pericardium. Synonym: tela subserosa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tela vasculosa | <radiology> Formed by the invagination of ependyma into ventricles CP of lateral and third ventricles are continuous, extends posteriorly to temporal horn, 3rd and two lateral ventricles continuous at interventricular foramen CP of fourth ventricle is seperate, shape of a T, vertical limb extends from near Magendie's foramen to the fastigium, horizontal limbs project into cerebellopontine angle cisterns the glomus is a localised enlargement of CP, found at the posterior part of the floor of the ventricle (12 Dec 1998) |
| arteria bulbi penis | A branch of the internal pudendal artery which supplies the bulb of the penis including the bulbar urethra. Synonym: arteria bulbi penis, arteria bulbi urethrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria dorsalis penis | The dorsal terminal branch of the internal pudendal artery in the male. Synonym: arteria dorsalis penis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae helicinae penis | The coiled terminal branches of the deep and dorsal arteries of the penis. Parasympathetic stimulation causes them to uncoil, allowing blood at arterial pressure to fill the cavernous tissue causing erection. Synonym: arteriae helicinae penis. (05 Mar 2000) |
