| urogenital septum | The coronally placed ridge formed by the caudal portion of the urogenital ridges fusing in the midline of the embryo; it lies between the hindgut dorsally and the bladder ventrally. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| urogenital sinus | The ventral part of the cloaca after its separation from the rectum by the growth of the urorectal septum; from it develops the lower part of the bladder in both sexes, the prostatic portion of the male urethra, and the urethra and vestibule in the female. Synonym: persistent cloaca. (05 Mar 2000) |
| urogenital surgical procedures | Surgery performed on the urinary tract or its organs and on the male or female genitalia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| urogenital system | The organs concerned in the production and excretion of urine, together with the organs of reproduction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| urogenital triangle | The anterior portion of the perineal region containing the openings of the urethra and vagina in the female and the urethra and root structures of the penis in the male. Synonym: regio urogenitalis, urogenital region. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar ridge | That portion of bone in either the maxilla or the mandible which surrounds and supports the teeth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alveolar ridge augmentation | Preprosthetic surgery involving rib, cartilage, or iliac crest bone grafts, usually autologous, or synthetic implants for rebuilding the alveolar ridge. (12 Dec 1998) |
| apical ectodermal ridge | The layer of surface ectodermal cells at the apex of the embryonic limb bud; considered to exert an inductive influence on the condensation of underlying mesenchyme. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal ridge | That portion of bone in either the maxilla or the mandible which surrounds and supports the teeth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| buccocervical ridge | A convexity within the cervical third of the buccal surface of molars. (05 Mar 2000) |
| buccogingival ridge | A distinct ridge on the buccal surface of a deciduous molar tooth, approximately 1.5 mm from the crown-root junction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bulbar ridge | One of two spiral subendocardial thickenings in the embryonic bulbus cordis; when they fuse, they divide the bulbus into the aorta and pulmonary artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bulboventricular ridge | An elevation on the inner surface of the embryonic heart at four to five weeks; it indicates the division between the developing ventricles and the bulbus cordis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palatine ridge | A rather narrow, low elevation in the centre of the hard palate that extends from the incisive papilla posteriorly over the entire length of the mucosa of the hard palate. Synonym: raphe palati, palatine ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglion ridge | A group of embryonic cells that separate from the neural plate during neurulation and migrate to give several different lineages of adult cells: the spinal and autonomic ganglia, the glial cells of the peripheral nervous system and nonneuronal cells, such as chromaffin cells, melanocytes and some haemopoietic cells.
