| white commissure | A narrow band of white substance bordering on the anterior median fissure of the spinal cord in front of the anterior gray commissure, and consisting of nerve fibres crossing over from one half of the spinal cord to the other. Synonym: commissura alba, anterior white commissure, commissura ventralis alba, ventral white column. (05 Mar 2000) |

| posterior cerebral commissure | A thin band of white matter, crossing from side to side beneath the habenula of the pineal body and over the aditus ad aqueductum cerebri; it is largely composed of fibres interconnecting the left and right pretectal region and related cell groups of the midbrain; dorsally, it marks the junction of the diencephalon and mesencephalon. Synonym: posterior cerebral commissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| habenular commissure | The connection between the right and left habenular nuclei; the decussation of fibres of the two striae medullares, forming the dorsal portion of the peduncle of the pineal body. Synonym: commissure of habenulae, habenular commissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior labial commissure | A slight fold uniting the labia majora posteriorly in front of the anus. Synonym: commissura labiorum posterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hippocampal commissure | The triangular subcallosal plate of commissural fibres resulting from the converging of the right and left fornix bundles which exchange numerous fibres and which curve back in the contralateral fornix to end in the hippocampus of the opposite side. Synonym: commissura hippocampi, commissure of fornix, delta fornicis, hippocampal commissure, psalterium, transverse fornix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| labial commissure | Junction of upper and lower lip which occurs at corner of mouth. See: angle of mouth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral mammary branches of lateral cutaneous branches of intercostal nerves | Branches arising from the lateral cutaneous branches of the ventral primary rami of spinal nerves (intercostal nerves) T-3 to T-6 which run anteriorly to supply the lateral aspect of the breast. Synonym: rami mammarii laterales rami cutanei lateralis nervorum thoracicorum, rami mammarii laterales rami cutanei lateralis nervorum intercostalium, lateral mammary branches of lateral cutaneous branches of intercostal nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral mammary branches of lateral cutaneous branches of thoracic spinal nerves | Branches arising from the lateral cutaneous branches of the ventral primary rami of spinal nerves (intercostal nerves) T-3 to T-6 which run anteriorly to supply the lateral aspect of the breast. Synonym: rami mammarii laterales rami cutanei lateralis nervorum thoracicorum, rami mammarii laterales rami cutanei lateralis nervorum intercostalium, lateral mammary branches of lateral cutaneous branches of intercostal nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral mammary branches of lateral thoracic artery | <anatomy, artery> Branches of the lateral thoracic artery which extend around the lateral borders of the pectoral muscles to supply the lateral aspect of the breast and mammary gland. Synonym: rami mammarii laterales arteriae thoracicae lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral vein of lateral ventricle | A vein draining deep portions of the temporal and parietal lobes; it runs in the lateral wall of the lateral ventricle to terminate in the superior thalamostriate vein. Synonym: vena ventriculi lateralis lateralis, lateral atrial vein, lateral vein of lateral ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Amberg's lateral sinus line | A line dividing the angle formed by the anterior edge of the mastoid process and the temporal line. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amyotrophic lateral sclerosis | A serious neurologic disease that results from the progressive degeneration of the motor neurons. (27 Sep 1997) |
| amyotropic lateral sclerosis | A chronic progressive disease of motor neurons (the nerves that come from the spinal cord to supply electrical energy to the muscles). (12 Dec 1998) |
| anterior lateral malleolar artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, anterior tibial; distribution, ankle joint; anastomoses, peroneal, lateral tarsal. Synonym: arteria malleolaris anterior lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bulb of lateral ventricle | A rounded elevation in the dorsal part of the medial wall of the posterior horn of the lateral ventricle, produced by the major forceps. (05 Mar 2000) |
