| longitudinal arc of skull | The line carried over the skull in the midline from the nasion to the opisthion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| longitudinal bands of cruciform ligament | <anatomy> Ligamentous slips forming the "upright" or vertical beam of the cruciform ligament. Synonym: fasciculi longitudinales ligamenti cruciformis atlantis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| longitudinal canals of modiolus | Centrally placed channels that convey vessels and nerves to the apical turns of the cochlea. Synonym: canales longitudinales modioli, central canals of cochlea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| longitudinal dissociation | Dissociation between parallel chambers of the heart, as between one atrium and the other or between one ventricle and the other, in contrast to dissociation between atria and ventricles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| longitudinal duct of epoophoron | A rudimentary vestige of the mesonephric duct in the female into which the tubules of the epoophoron open; it is located in the broad ligament of the uterus, parallel with the lateral part of the uterine tube, and in the lateral walls of the cervix and vagina. Synonym: ductus epoophori longitudinalis, ductus deferens vestigialis, Gartner's canal, Gartner's duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| longitudinal fissure of cerebrum | The deep cleft separating the two hemispheres of the cerebrum. Synonym: fissura longitudinalis cerebri, great longitudinal fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| longitudinal fold of duodenum | A fold of mucosa on the medial wall of the descending part of the duodenum above the major duodenal papilla, probably caused by the relation to the common bile duct. Synonym: plica longitudinalis duodeni. (05 Mar 2000) |
| longitudinal fracture | A fracture involving the bone in the line of its axis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| longitudinal layer of muscular coat | The outer, longitudinal layer of the smooth muscle of the muscular coat. Nomina Anatomica lists longitudinal layers of muscular coats (stratum longitudinale tunicae muscularis...) of the following: 1) colon (... Coli ); 2) rectum (... Recti ); 3) small intestine (... Intestini tenuis ); 4) stomach (... Gastrici ). Synonym: stratum longitudinale tunicae muscularis gastricae, stratum longitudinale tunicae muscularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| longitudinal layers of muscular tunics | See: longitudinal layer of muscular coat. (05 Mar 2000) |
| longitudinal lie | That relationship in which the long axis of the foetus is longitudinal and roughly parallel to the long axis of the mother; the presenting part may be either the head or the breech. (05 Mar 2000) |
| longitudinal ligament | <anatomy> One of two extensive fibrous bands running the length of the vertebral column: the anterior longitudinal ligament and the posterior longitudinal ligament. Synonym: ligamentum longitudinale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| longitudinal ligaments | Two extensive fibrous bands running the length of the vertebral column. The anterior longitudinal ligament (ligamentum longitudinale anterius; lacertus medius) interconnects the anterior surfaces of the vertebral bodies; the posterior longitudinal ligament (ligamentum longitudinale posterius) interconnects the posterior surfaces. The commonest clinical consideration is ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament. (12 Dec 1998) |
| longitudinal magnification | <microscopy> A certain distance, measured axially, in the object space as referred to the respective distance in the image space. The ratio of the distance D' in the image space to the distance D in the object space equated to the square of the linear magnification M of the system. Thus: M exp2 =D'/D. (05 Aug 1998) |
