| incisura cerebelli anterior | A wide, shallow notch on the anterior surface of the cerebellum occupied laterally by the superior cerebellar peduncles and the inferior quadrigeminal bodies medially. Synonym: anterior notch of cerebellum, incisura cerebelli anterior, semilunar notch. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| incisura cerebelli posterior | A narrow notch between the cerebellar hemispheres posteriorly, occupied by the falx cerebelli. Synonym: incisura cerebelli posterior, marsupial notch, posterior notch of cerebellum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tonsilla cerebelli | A rounded lobule on the undersurface of each cerebellar hemisphere, continuous medially with the uvula of the cerebellar vermis. Synonym: tonsilla cerebelli, amygdala cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facies inferior hemispherii cerebelli | It rests in the posterior cranial fossa and overlies the medulla; it includes the semilunaris inferior, biventer lobule, cerebellar tonsil, and flocculus. Synonym: facies inferior hemispherii cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facies superior hemispherii cerebelli | It lies against the under surface of the tentorium and includes the ala lobuli centralis, quadrangular lobule, simple lobule, and superior semilunar lobule. Synonym: facies superior hemispherii cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| falx cerebelli | <anatomy> A short process of dura mater projecting forward from the internal occipital crest below the tentorium; it occupies the posterior cerebellar notch and the vallecula, and bifurcates below into two diverging limbs passing to either side of the foramen magnum. Synonym: falcula. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uvula cerebelli | A triangular elevation on the vermis of the cerebellum, lying between the two tonsils anterior to the pyramis. Synonym: uvula cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fissurae cerebelli | The deep furrows which divide the lobules of the cerebellum. See: postcentral fissure, primary fissure of cerebellum, secondary fissure of cerebellum. Synonym: fissurae cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fissura horizontalis cerebelli | Horizontal fissure that divides the ansiform lobule into its major parts, crus I (superior semilunar lobule) and crus II (inferior semilunar lobule). Synonym: fissura horizontalis cerebelli, great horizontal fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fissura prima cerebelli | The deepest fissure of the cerebellum; demarcates the division of anterior and posterior lobes of the cerebellum; second to appear embryologically. Synonym: fissura prima cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fissura secunda cerebelli | A fissure that separates the uvula of the inferior vermis of the cerebellum from the pyramid. Synonym: fissura secunda cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fissura transversa cerebelli | The cleft caused by the protrusion of the anterior lobe of the cerebellum over the superior and middle cerebellar peduncles. Synonym: fissura transversa cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| folia cerebelli | cerebellar folia |
| laminae albae cerebelli | Layers of white substance seen on section of the cerebellum. Synonym: laminae medullares cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laminae medullares cerebelli | Layers of white substance seen on section of the cerebellum. Synonym: laminae medullares cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
