| transparent ulcer of the cornea | An obsolete term for an ulcer of the cornea, occurring usually in children, that heals without opacity. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| transplantation of cornea | corneal transplant |
| fleck dystrophy of cornea | A bilateral occurrence of subtle spots in the corneal stroma; the spots vary in size and shape, and have sharp margins and clear centres; photophobia may occur; autosomal dominant inheritance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| floury cornea | Bilateral speckling of the posterior part of the corneal stroma. Synonym: floury cornea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| limbus of cornea | The margin of the cornea overlapped by the sclera. Synonym: limbus corneae, corneal margin, sclerocorneal junction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| limiting layers of cornea | anterior limiting layer of cornea, posterior limiting layer of cornea |
| abdominal aortic plexus | <anatomy, neurology> An autonomic plexus surrounding the abdominal aorta, directly continuous with the thoracic aortic plexus above and continued inferior to the bifurcation of the aorta as the superior hypogastric plexus. Synonym: plexus aorticus abdominalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acromial plexus | A vascular network between the acromion and the skin of the shoulder, formed by anastomoses of the acromial branch of the suprascapular artery with the acromial branch of the thoracoacromial artery. Synonym: rete acromiale, acromial plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| annular plexus | A nerve plexus near the corneoscleral junction from which myelinated and unmyelinated nerves pass to the cornea. Synonym: plexus annularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior coronary plexus | The part of the cardiac plexus that accompanies the coronary arteries on the anterior aspect of the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ascending pharyngeal plexus | An autonomic plexus on the artery of the same name, formed of fibres from the superior cervical ganglion. Synonym: plexus pharyngeus ascendens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Auerbach's plexus | One of two ganglionated neural networks which together form the enteric nervous system. The myenteric (auerbach's) plexus is located between the longitudinal and circular muscle layers of the gut. Its neurons project to the circular muscle, to other myenteric ganglia, to submucosal ganglia, or directly to the epithelium, and play an important role in regulating and patterning gut motility.
