| cortical reaction | The reaction of an egg cell to fertilization which changes its surface cell membrane and prevents additional sperm cells from entering (among other things). (09 Oct 1997) |
| cortical sensibility | The integration of sensory stimuli by the cerebral cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical substance | The superficial thin layer of compact bone. Synonym: substantia corticalis, cortical substance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical vesicle | A vesicle, or membrane-bound bubble, in an animal egg cell that releases proteases and other enzymes immediately after fertilization, chiefly to change the egg's surface cell membrane so that no more sperm cells can enter. (09 Oct 1997) |
| hyperostosis, cortical, congenital | A disease of young infants characterised by soft tissue swellings over the affected bones, fever, and irritability, and marked by periods of remission and exacerbation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infantile cortical hyperostosis | Neonatal subperiosteal bone formation over many bones, especially the mandible and clavicles and the shafts of long bones; it follows fever, usually appearing before 6 months of age and disappearing during childhood. Synonym: Caffey's disease, Caffey's syndrome, Caffey-Silverman syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrous cortical defect | A common 1 to 3 cm defect in the cortex of a bone, most commonly the lower femoral shaft of a child, filled with fibrous tissue. Nonosteogenic or nonossifying fibroma by convention refers to lesions greater than 3 cm in diameter. See: nonossifying fibroma. Synonym: nonosteogenic fibroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laminar cortical necrosis | The breaking down of a definite cell layer in the cerebral cortex, encountered typically after temporary cardiac arrest or perinatal hypoxia. (05 Mar 2000) |

| accessory pancreatic duct | The excretory duct of the head of the pancreas, one branch of which joins the pancreatic duct, the other opening independently into the duodenum at the lesser duodenal papilla. Synonym: ductus pancreaticus accessorius, Bernard's canal, Bernard's duct, ductus dorsopancreaticus, Santorini's canal, Santorini's duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
