| ten Horn | C., Dutch surgeon. See: ten Horn's sign. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ten Horn's sign | <clinical sign> Pain caused by gentle traction on the right spermatic cord, indicative of appendicitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tip of posterior horn | The pointed extremity of each posterior gray column or cornu of the spinal cord. Synonym: apex cornus posterioris, caput cornus, tip of posterior horn. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uterine horn | cornu uteri |
| lateral horn | The small lateral gray column of the spinal cord as appearing in transverse section containing the interomedial cell column. See: gray columns. Synonym: cornu laterale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lesser horn of hyoid bone | The shorter and more medial of the two processes on either side of the hyoid bone. Synonym: cornu minus ossis hyoidei, styloid cornu. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ascending frontal convolution | Bounded posteriorly by the central sulcus and anteriorly by the precentral sulcus. Synonym: gyrus precentralis, anterior central convolution, anterior central gyrus, ascending frontal convolution, ascending frontal gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ascending frontal gyrus | Bounded posteriorly by the central sulcus and anteriorly by the precentral sulcus. Synonym: gyrus precentralis, anterior central convolution, anterior central gyrus, ascending frontal convolution, ascending frontal gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blind foramen of frontal bone | <anatomy> Blind or caecal foramen of the frontal bone; the blind foramen formed immediately anterior to the crista galli by a notch at the lower end of the frontal crest and its articulation with the ethmoid bone. It is insignificant postnatally, but gives passage to vessels during development. Synonym: foramen caecum ossis frontalis, blind foramen of frontal bone, caecal foramen of frontal bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caecal foramen of frontal bone | <anatomy> Blind or caecal foramen of the frontal bone; the blind foramen formed immediately anterior to the crista galli by a notch at the lower end of the frontal crest and its articulation with the ethmoid bone. It is insignificant postnatally, but gives passage to vessels during development. Synonym: foramen caecum ossis frontalis, blind foramen of frontal bone, caecal foramen of frontal bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal border of frontal bone | The margin of the frontal bone that articulates with the parietal bone. Synonym: margo parietalis ossis frontalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median frontal sulcus | A relatively shallow sagittal fissure of the brain dividing the middle frontal convolution into an upper and lower part; this sulcus is found only in humans and anthropoid apes; at its anterior extremity it bifurcates, the two branches spreading out laterally and constituting the frontomarginal sulcus. Synonym: median frontal sulcus, sulcus frontalis medius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle frontal convolution | A convolution on the convexity of each frontal lobe of the cerebrum running in an anteroposterior direction between the superior and inferior frontal sulci. Synonym: gyrus frontalis medius, middle frontal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle frontal gyrus | A convolution on the convexity of each frontal lobe of the cerebrum running in an anteroposterior direction between the superior and inferior frontal sulci. Synonym: gyrus frontalis medius, middle frontal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
