| suprarenal body | See adrenal gland. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| suprarenal capsule | See adrenal gland. (12 Dec 1998) |
| suprarenal cortex | The outer part of the adrenal gland, consisting of three zones from without inward: zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, and zona reticularis; this part of the adrenal cortex yields steroid hormones such as corticosterone, deoxycorticosterone, and estrone. Synonym: cortex glandulae suprarenalis, adrenal cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| suprarenal gland | See adrenal gland. (12 Dec 1998) |
| suprarenal impression | A hollow on the visceral surface of the right lobe of the liver, adjoining the groove for inferior venae cava, in which lies the right suprarenal gland. Synonym: impressio suprarenalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| suprarenal medulla | It is composed principally of anastomosing cords of cells in the core of the gland; the cells display a chromaffin reaction because of the presence of epinephrine and norepinephrine in their granules. Synonym: medulla glandulae suprarenalis, medulla of adrenal gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| suprarenal plexus | An autonomic plexus formed mainly by branches from the coeliac ganglion, lying at the hilus of the suprarenal gland. Synonym: plexus suprarenalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| suprarenal veins | See: right suprarenal vein, left suprarenal vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior suprarenal artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, renal; distribution, suprarenal gland. Synonym: arteria suprarenalis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aortico-left ventricular tunnel | Congenital connection between the aorta above exit of coronary arteries and the left ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrial function, left | The haemodynamic and electrophysiological action of the left atrium. (12 Dec 1998) |
| auricle of left atrium | The small conical projection from the left atrium of the heart. Synonym: auricula sinistra, left auricular appendage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bilateral left-sidedness | A syndrome in which normally unpaired organs develop more symmetrically in mirror image; two spleens, one on each side, are usually present, and cardiovascular anomalies are common. Synonym: polysplenia syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac notch of left lung | The notch in the anterior border of the superior lobe of the left lung which accommodates the pericardium. Synonym: incisura cardiaca pulmonis sinistri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventricular dysfunction, left | A condition in which the left ventricle of the heart exhibits a decreased functionality. This decreased function could lead to congestive heart failure or myocardial infarction, among other cardiovascular diseases. Diagnostic measurements that indicate this condition include a diminished ejection fraction and a depressed level of motility of the left ventricular wall. (12 Dec 1998) |
