| obstetric conjugate diameter | The diameter that represents the shortest diameter through which the head must pass in descending into the superior strait and measures, by means of X-ray, the distance from the promontory of the sacrum to a point on the inner surface of the symphysis a few millimeters below its upper margin. Synonym: obstetric conjugate diameter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occipitofrontal diameter | The diameter of the foetal head from the external occipital protuberance to the most prominent point of the frontal bone in the midline. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occipitomental diameter | The diameter of the foetal head from the external occipital protuberance to the midpoint of the chin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| total end-diastolic diameter | Cross sectional diameter of the left ventricle including the septum and posterior wall thicknesses in diastole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| total end-systolic diameter | Cross sectional diameter of the left ventricle including the septum and posterior wall thicknesses in systole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trachelobregmatic diameter | The diameter of the foetal head from the middle of the anterior fontanelle to the neck. (05 Mar 2000) |
| external conjugate diameter | The distance in a straight line between the depression under the last spinous process of the lumbar vertebrae and the upper edge of the pubic symphysis. Synonym: Baudelocque's diameter, external conjugate diameter. (05 Mar 2000) |

| acute transverse myelitis | Acute inflammation and softening of the spinal cord; involves the entire thickness of the spinal cord but of limited longitudinal extent; multiple aetiologies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caudal transverse fissure | A transverse fissure on the visceral surface of the liver between the caudate and quadrate lobes, lodging the portal vein, hepatic artery, hepatic nerve plexus, hepatic ducts, and lymphatic vessels. Synonym: caudal transverse fissure, portal fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mesentery of transverse colon | See: mesocolon. (05 Mar 2000) |

| middle transverse rectal fold | See: transverse rectal folds. (05 Mar 2000) |
| midgastric transverse 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) |
