| septal bone | The tissue intervening between two adjacent pulmonary alveoli; it consists of a close-meshed capillary network covered on both surfaces by very thin alveolar epithelial cells, one of the bony partitions between the tooth sockets. Synonym: septum interalveolare, alveolar septum, septal bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septal branches | The interventricular septal branches; branches of the anterior and posterior interventricular arteries distributed to the muscle of the interventricular septum. Synonym: rami interventriculares septales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septal cartilage | A thin cartilaginous plate located between vomer, perpendicular plate of the ethmoid, and nasal bones, and completing the nasal septum anteriorly. Synonym: cartilago septi nasi, cartilage of nasal septum, cartilaginous septum, pars cartilaginea septi nasi, quadrangular cartilage, septal cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septal cell | A round pale cell of the lungs in the septa between the pulmonary alveoli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septal cusp of tricuspid valve | The leaflet of the tricuspid valve located adjacent to the interventricular septum. Synonym: cuspis septalis valvae atrioventricularis dextrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septal gingiva | That portion of the gingiva that covers the interdental septum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septal lines | Radiographic images of thickened interlobular septa, most often along the lateral border of lung, extending to pleura; Kerley A and B lines; usually caused by septal oedema and fibrosis, also carcinomatosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septal nuclei | Neural nuclei situated in the septal region of the diencephalon. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sphenoid process of septal cartilage | The tapering extension of the septal cartilage that lies between the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid and the vomer. Synonym: processus posterior cartilaginis septi nasi, processus sphenoidalis cartilaginis septi nasi, sphenoid process of septal cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nasal septal cartilage | A thin cartilaginous plate located between vomer, perpendicular plate of the ethmoid, and nasal bones, and completing the nasal septum anteriorly. Synonym: cartilago septi nasi, cartilage of nasal septum, cartilaginous septum, pars cartilaginea septi nasi, quadrangular cartilage, septal cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acquired platelet function defect | <haematology> Platelet function can be affected by a number of different disease processes including polycythaemia vera, leukaemia, myelofibrosis, renal failure, multiple myeloma and some medications (for example penicillins, salicylates, phenothiazines). Disturbed blood clotting can be manifested by: easy bruising, bleeding gums, nosebleeds, abnormal vaginal bleeding, rectal bleeding, skin rash, vomiting blood, coughing up blood or blood in the urine. A measure of bleeding time and coagulation profile will be part of the evaluation. (29 Dec 1997) |
| atrial ventricular canal defect | A defect caused by deficient or absent septal tissue immediately above and below the normal level of the atrioventricular valves, including the region normally occupied by the A-V septum in hearts with two ventricles. The A-V valves are abnormal to a varying degree. (05 Mar 2000) |
| birth defect | Defect present at birth; sometimes referred to as congenital defect. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gerbode defect | <cardiology, embryology> A defect in the interventricular portion of the membranous septum, associated with a communication between the right ventricle and the right atrium through an abnormality in the tricuspid valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
