| membrana synovialis | The inner of the two layers of the articular capsule of a synovial joint, composed of loose connective tissue and having a free smooth surface that lines the joint cavity. It secretes the synovial fluid. (12 Dec 1998) |
| plica synovialis | A projection from the synovial membrane of a joint extending toward or between the two articular surfaces. Synonym: plica synovialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plica synovialis infrapatellaris | A fold of synovial membrane extending from below the level of the articular surface of the patella to the anterior part of the intercondylar fossa. Synonym: plica synovialis infrapatellaris, plica synovialis patellaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plica synovialis patellaris | A fold of synovial membrane extending from below the level of the articular surface of the patella to the anterior part of the intercondylar fossa. Synonym: plica synovialis infrapatellaris, plica synovialis patellaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| junctura synovialis | A joint in which the opposing bony surfaces are covered with a layer of hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage, there is a joint cavity containing synovial fluid, lined with synovial membrane and reinforced by a fibrous capsule and ligaments, and there is some degree of free movement possible. Synonym: articulatio synovialis, diarthrodial joint, diarthrosis, junctura synovialis, movable joint, perarticulation. (05 Mar 2000) |

| sulcus tendinis musculi fibularis longi | An alternate term for groove for tendon of peroneus longus muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus tendinis musculi flexoris hallucis longi | Groove for tendon of the flexor hallucis longus; a vertical sulcus on the posterior process of the talus continuous with a similar groove on the underside of the sustentaculum tali of the calcaneus. Synonym: sulcus tendinis musculi flexoris hallucis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus tendinis musculi peronei longi | <anatomy> The groove below the peroneal trochlea of the calcaneus, the groove distal to the tuberosity of the cuboid bone. Synonym: sulcus tendinis musculi peronei longi, sulcus tendinis musculi fibularis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| theca tendinis | A sheath of synovial membrane enveloping certain of the tendons; it contains a small amount of synovial fluid. Synonym: vagina synovialis tendinis, mucous sheath of tendon, theca tendinis, vagina mucosa tendinis, vaginal synovial membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior part of fornix of vagina | The portion of the fornix of the vagina anterior to the uterine cervix. Synonym: pars anterior fornicis vaginae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior wall of vagina | It is somewhat shorter than the posterior wall and at its upper end is penetrated by the cervix of the uterus. Synonym: paries anterior vaginae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| azygos artery of vagina | One of two artery's that run longitudinally in the midline on the anterior and posterior aspects of the vagina; they take origin from the uterine artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bipartite vagina | A vagina that is divided, usually longitudinally, to create a double vagina. This situation can be easily missed by the patient and even by the doctor on exam.
