| SYDS | stomach yin deficiency syndrome |
| TSV | total stomach volume |
| bare area of stomach | The part of posterior surface of the fundus of the stomach between the two diverging layers of the gastrophrenic ligament, that is not covered by peritoneum. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| bed of stomach | The structures against which the posteroinferior surface of the stomach lies, and from which it is separated, for the main part, by the omental bursa; includes diaphragm, left suprarenal gland, upper part of left kidney, splenic artery, anterior aspect of pancreatic body and tail, left colic flexure, and transverse mesocolon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bilocular stomach | A condition in which there is a central constriction of the wall of the stomach dividing it into two cavities, cardiac and pyloric. Synonym: bilocular stomach, ectasia ventriculi paradoxa. Leather-bottle stomach, marked thickening and rigidity of the stomach wall, with reduced capacity of the lumen although often without obstruction; nearly always due to scirrhous carcinoma, as in linitis plastica. Synonym: sclerotic stomach. (05 Mar 2000) |
| body of stomach | The part of the stomach that lies between the fundus above and the pyloric antrum below; its boundaries are poorly defined. Synonym: corpus gastricum [ventriculi]. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cancer, stomach | Cancer of the major organ that holds food for digestion. Stomach cancer (gastric cancer) can develop in any part of the stomach and spread to other organs. Stomach ulcers do not appear to increase a person's risk of developing stomach cancer. Symptoms of stomach cancer are often vague, such as loss of appetite or weight. The cancer is diagnosed with a biopsy of stomach tissue during a procedure called an endoscopy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cardiac part of stomach | The area of the stomach close to the oesophageal opening (cardiac orifice or cardia) which contains the cardiac glands. Synonym: pars cardiaca gastris, pars cardiaca ventriculi, cardia, gastric cardia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Rehfuss stomach tube | A tube with a calibrated syringe, formerly used for aspiration of stomach contents in gastric analysis; replaced by plastic disposable stomach tube's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Reichel-Polya stomach resection | Retrocolic anastomosis of the full circumference of the open stomach to the jejunum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial longitudinal arch of foot | Formed by the calcaneus, talus, navicular, three cuneiform bones, and the three medial metatarsals. Synonym: arcus pedis longitudinalis pars medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial longitudinal bundle | A longitudinal bundle of fibres extending from the upper border of the mesencephalon into the cervical segments of the spinal cord, located close to the midline and ventral to the central gray matter; it is composed largely of fibres from the vestibular nuclei ascending to the motor neurons innervating the external eye muscles (abducens, trochlear, and oculomotor nuclei), and descending to spinal cord segments innervating the musculature of the neck. Synonym: fasciculus longitudinalis medialis, Collier's tract, medial longitudinal bundle, posterior longitudinal bundle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial longitudinal fasciculus | A longitudinal bundle of fibres extending from the upper border of the mesencephalon into the cervical segments of the spinal cord, located close to the midline and ventral to the central gray matter; it is composed largely of fibres from the vestibular nuclei ascending to the motor neurons innervating the external eye muscles (abducens, trochlear, and oculomotor nuclei), and descending to spinal cord segments innervating the musculature of the neck. Synonym: fasciculus longitudinalis medialis, Collier's tract, medial longitudinal bundle, posterior longitudinal bundle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial longitudinal stria | A thin longitudinal band of nerve fibres accompanied by gray matter, running along the surface of the corpus callosum on either side of the median line. Together with the lateral longitudinal stria it forms part of a thin layer of gray matter on the dorsal surface of the corpus callosum, the indusium griseum, a rudimentary component of the hippocampus. Synonym: stria longitudinalis medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial part of longitudinal arch of foot | medial part of longitudinal arch of foot |
| pavlov stomach | A Pavlov pouch fashionned surgically from part of the stomach (which is isolated from the rest of the stomach). The pouch opens through a fistula (canal) on to the abdominal wall and permits sampling of the gastric contents. See pavlov pouch. (12 Dec 1998) |
| median longitudinal raphe of tongue | <anatomy> Median groove or median longitudinal raphe of tongue; raphe linguae; a slight longitudinal depression running forward on the dorsal surface of the tongue from the foramen caecum. Synonym: sulcus medianus linguae, median longitudinal raphe of tongue, raphe linguae. (05 Mar 2000) |
