| true vertebra | Any one of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar vertebrae. Synonym: vertebra vera. (05 Mar 2000) |
| true vocal cord | One of Ferrein's cords; the sharp edge of a fold of mucous membrane overlying the vocal ligament and stretching along either wall of the larynx from the angle between the laminae of the thyroid cartilage to the vocal process of the arytenoid cartilage; the vocal folds are the agents concerned in voice production. Synonym: plica vocalis, chorda vocalis, labium vocale, true vocal cord, vocal cord, vocal shelf. (05 Mar 2000) |
| allantoenteric diverticulum | An endoderm-lined outpouching of the hindgut (in humans, the yolk sac of a very young embryo) representing the primordium of the allantois; in most amniotes, it grows into the extraembryonic celom; in humans, the distal part of the allantoic lumen is rudimentary, not extending beyond the body stalk. Synonym: allantoenteric diverticulum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| allantoic diverticulum | An endoderm-lined outpouching of the hindgut (in humans, the yolk sac of a very young embryo) representing the primordium of the allantois; in most amniotes, it grows into the extraembryonic celom; in humans, the distal part of the allantoic lumen is rudimentary, not extending beyond the body stalk. Synonym: allantoenteric diverticulum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Rathke's diverticulum | A tubular outgrowth of ectoderm from the stomodeum of the embryo; it grows dorsad toward the infundibular process of the diencephalon, around which it forms a cup-like mass, giving rise to the pars distalis and pars juxtaneuralis of the hypophysis. Synonym: craniopharyngeal canal, hypophyseal pouch, Rathke's diverticulum, Rathke's pocket, Rathke's pouch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventricular diverticulum | A congenital outpouching of the right or left ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vesical diverticulum | A diverticulum of the bladder wall; may be either true or false type. (05 Mar 2000) |
| meckel diverticulum | <radiology> Rule of secondarys, 2 cm wide, 2 feet from I-C valve, males 2:1, 2% of population, antimesenteric (unlike duplication cyst), with or without ectopic gastric/pancreatic tissue see: Meckel scan (12 Dec 1998) |
| meckel's diverticulum | An out-pouching of the small bowel (ileum). Present in about 2% of people and usually occurs about 2 feet before the junction with the colon. Can be lined by stomach-type mucosa and ulcerate, perforate, or cause small bowel obstruction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cervical diverticulum | A diverticulum in the neck derived from retention of part of one of the pharyngeal pouches (endodermal) or branchial grooves (ectodermal) of the embryo. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metanephric diverticulum | An outgrowth from the caudal portion of the mesonephric duct on either side, which grows cephalodorsally to make contact with the masses of metanephrogenous tissue (nephric blastemas) that give rise to the epithelial lining of the ureter and of the pelvis and the collecting ducts of the kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Pertik's diverticulum | An abnormally deep recessus pharyngeus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngoesophageal diverticulum | Most common diverticulum of the oesophagus; arises between the inferior pharyngeal constrictor and the crico-pharyngeus muscle. Synonym: hypopharyngeal diverticulum, Zenker's diverticulum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pituitary diverticulum | A tubular outgrowth of ectoderm from the stomodeum of the embryo; it grows dorsad toward the infundibular process of the diencephalon, around which it forms a cup-like mass, giving rise to the pars distalis and pars juxtaneuralis of the hypophysis. Synonym: craniopharyngeal canal, hypophyseal pouch, Rathke's diverticulum, Rathke's pocket, Rathke's pouch. (05 Mar 2000) |
