| Kursteiner's canals | A foetal complex of vesicular, canalicular, and glandlike structures derived from parathyroid, thymus, or thymic cord; they are rudimentary and functionless unless persistent postnatally, when they may occur as cystic structures in the vicinity of parathyroid III and thymus III. Kursteiner described three types, type II canal's being associated with thyroaplasia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral saemicircular canals | The three bony tubes in the labyrinth of the ear within which the membranous saemicircular ducts are located; they lie in planes at right angles to each other and are known as anterior saemicircular canal, posterior saemicircular canal, and lateral saemicircular canal. Synonym: canales saemicirculares ossei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Leeuwenhoek's canals | <anatomy> The small Vascular canal's that run longitudinally in the centre of haversian systems of compact osseous tissue, through which the blood vessels ramify in bone. Synonym: Leeuwenhoek's canals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| limbs of bony saemicircular canals | The extremities of the bony saemicircular canals in which the corresponding membranous limbs of the saemicircular ducts are located; they are the common bony crus, simple bony crus, and ampullary bony crus.
