| pyramidal cataract | A cone-shaped, anterior polar cataract. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pyramidal cell | <anatomy, neurology> Commonest nerve cells of the cerebral cortex. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pyramidal cell layer | Layer 3 of the cortex cerebri. Synonym: Meynert's layer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pyramidal cells | Projection neurons in the cerebral cortex and the hippocampus. Pyramidal cells have a pyramid-shaped soma with the apex and an apical dendrite pointed toward the pial surface and other dendrites and an axon emerging from the base. The axons may have local collaterals but also project outside their cortical region. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pyramidal decussation | The intercrossing of the bundles of the pyramidal tracts at the lower border region of the medulla oblongata. Synonym: decussatio pyramidum, decussatio motoria, motor decussation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pyramidal disease | A condition of the horse's foot in which there is exostosis of the extensor process of the third phalanx, with swelling and chronic inflammation at the coronary band on the anterior surface of the foot. Synonym: pyramidal disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pyramidal eminence | A conical projection posterior to the vestibular window in the middle ear; it is hollow and contains the stapedius muscle. Synonym: pyramid of tympanum, pyramidal eminence, pyramis tympani. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pyramidal fibres | The fibres that compose the pyramidal tract (corticospinalis). Synonym: fibrae corticospinales, corticospinal fibres, fibrae pyramidales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pyramidal fracture | A fracture of the midfacial skeleton with the principal fracture lines meeting at an apex at or near the superior aspect of the nasal bones. Synonym: Le Fort II fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pyramidal lobe of thyroid gland | <anatomy> An inconstant narrow lobe of the thyroid gland that arises from the upper border of the isthmus and extends upward, sometimes as far as the hyoid bone; it marks the point of continuity with the thyroglossal duct. Synonym: lobus pyramidalis glandulae thyroideae, Lallouette's pyramid, Morgagni's appendix, pyramid of thyroid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pyramidal muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, crest of pubis; insertion, lower portion of linea alba; action, makes linea alba tense; nerve supply, subcostal. Synonym: musculus pyramidalis, pyramidal muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
