| encephalic vesicle | Each of the three divisions of the early embryonic brain (prosencephalon, mesencephalon, and rhombencephalon). Synonym: encephalic vesicle, primary brain vesicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| transcytotic vesicle | <cell biology> Membrane bounded vesicle that shuttles fluid from one side of the endothelium to the other. There is some controversy as to whether or not they form pores. (17 Mar 1998) |
| endocytic vesicle | The vesicle (membrane-bound bubble within the cell) which is formed during the process of endocytosis and which contains substances being imported from outside of the cell. (09 Oct 1997) |
| endocytotic vesicle | Uptake of material into a cell by the formation of a membrane bound vesicle. (18 Nov 1997) |
| transport vesicle | <cell biology> Vesicles that transfer material from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the receiving face of the Golgi. (18 Nov 1997) |
| excretory duct of seminal vesicle | The passage leading from a seminal vesicle to the ejaculatory duct. Synonym: ductus excretorius vesiculae seminalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| exocytotic vesicle | <cell biology> Vesicle, for example a secretory vesicle or zymogen granule, that can fuse with the plasma membrane to release its contents. (18 Nov 1997) |
| umbilical vesicle | <embryology, ornithology> One of the set of extra embryonic membranes, growing out from the gut over the yolk surface, in birds formed from the splanchnopleure, an outer layer of splanchnic mesoderm and an inner layer of endoderm. (18 Nov 1997) |
| forebrain vesicle | <anatomy> The anterior segment of the brain, including the cerebrum and olfactory lobes; the forebrain. The cerebrum. Origin: NL, fr. Gr. Toward, near to + E. Encephalon] [Sometimes abbreviated to proen. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| lens vesicle | In the embryo, the ectodermal invagination that forms opposite the optic cup; it is the primordium of the lens of the eye. Synonym: lenticular vesicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lenticular vesicle | In the embryo, the ectodermal invagination that forms opposite the optic cup; it is the primordium of the lens of the eye. Synonym: lenticular vesicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fusogenic vesicle | <cell biology> A liposome (artificially-created vesicle) whose outer wall contains molecules (such as the F protein) that cause cell fusion, especially fusion between somatic cells (any cell that is not a gamete). (09 Oct 1997) |
| anterior cerebral artery | <anatomy, artery> One of the two terminal branches (with middle cerebral artery) of the internal carotid; it passes anterior, loops around the genu of the corpus callosum then posteriorly in the interhemispheric fissure along with its fellow of the opposite side, the two being joined by the anterior communicating artery; for descriptive purposes it is divided into two parts: the precommunical part (A2 segment of clinical terminology), supplying branches to the thalamus and corpus striatum, and the postcommunical part, (A2) or pericallosal artery, supplying branches to the cortex of the medial parts of the frontal and parietal lobes. Synonym: arteria cerebri anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior cerebral vein | <anatomy, vein> A small vein that parallels the anterior cerebral artery and drains into the basal vein. Synonym: vena cerebri anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteries of cerebral haemorrhage | Numerous small branches from the sphenoidal part of the middle cerebral arteries supplying the lateral and anterior parts of the corpus striatum. Synonym: arteriae centrales anterolaterales, arteriae thalamostriatae anterolaterales, anterolateral central arteries, anterolateral striate arteries, anterolateral thalamostriate arteries, arteries of cerebral haemorrhage, lenticulostriate arteries.
