| cortical part | cortical part |
| cortical part of middle cerebral artery | <anatomy, artery> See: middle cerebral artery. Synonym: pars corticalis arteriae cerebralis mediae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| acute ascending paralysis | A paralysis of rapid course beginning in the legs and involving progressively the trunk, arms, and neck, ending sometimes in death in from one to three weeks. Synonym: ascending paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute atrophic paralysis | Inflammation of the anterior cornua of the spinal cord; an acute infectious disease caused by the poliomyelitis virus and marked by fever, pains, and gastroenteric disturbances, followed by a flaccid paralysis of one or more muscular groups, and later by atrophy. Synonym: acute atrophic paralysis, myogenic paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ascending paralysis | A paralysis of rapid course beginning in the legs and involving progressively the trunk, arms, and neck, ending sometimes in death in from one to three weeks. Synonym: ascending paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
