| 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) |
| laminar cortical sclerosis | A degeneration of nerve fibres in the corona radiata in a laminar pattern. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior intercostal arteries | One of the arteries supplying the anterior portions of the intercostal spaces of the thoracic wall. Anterior intercostal arteries 1-6 arise as branches of the internal thoracic artery; 7-11 arise as branches of the musculophrenic artery. Synonym: rami intercostales anteriores, rami intercostalis anteriores arteria thoracica interna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior labial arteries | The anterior labial branches, branches of the external pudendal artery to the labium majus. Synonym: rami labiales anteriores arteriae pudendae externae, arteriae labiales anteriores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior mediastinal arteries | <anatomy, artery> Small twigs supplying anterior mediastinal structures: mainly thymus and lymph nodes. Synonym: rami mediastinales arteriae thoracicae internae, rami thymici, anterior mediastinal arteries, arteriae thymicae, thymic arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior superior alveolar arteries | Origin, infraorbital artery within intraorbital canal; distribution, via anterior alveolar canals to upper incisors and canine teeth, mucus membrane of maxillary sinus. Synonym: arteriae alveolares superiores anteriores, anterior superior dental arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior superior dental arteries | Origin, infraorbital artery within intraorbital canal; distribution, via anterior alveolar canals to upper incisors and canine teeth, mucus membrane of maxillary sinus. Synonym: arteriae alveolares superiores anteriores, anterior superior dental arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterolateral central arteries | 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.
