| raphe retinae | The horizontal line separating the superior and inferior portions of the temporal retina over which the retinal nerve fibres do not course. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| raphe scroti | A central line, like a cord, running over the scrotum from the anus to the root of the penis; it marks the position of the septum scroti. Synonym: raphe scroti, Vesling's line. (05 Mar 2000) |
| penile raphe | The continuation of the raphe of the scrotum onto the underside of the penis. Synonym: raphe penis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| perineal raphe | The central anteroposterior line of the perineum, most marked in the male, being continuous with the raphe of the scrotum. Synonym: raphe perinei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal raphe | The central line of the pharynx posteriorly where the muscular fibres meet and partly interlace. Synonym: raphe pharyngis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| scrotal raphe | A central line, like a cord, running over the scrotum from the anus to the root of the penis; it marks the position of the septum scroti. Synonym: raphe scroti, Vesling's line. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pterygomandibular raphe | A tendinous thickening of the buccopharyngeal fascia, separating and giving origin to the buccinator muscle anteriorly and the superior constrictor of the pharynx posteriorly. Synonym: raphe pterygomandibularis, pterygomandibular ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Stilling's raphe | The transverse interdigitations of fibre bundles across the anterior median fissure of the medulla oblongata at the decussation of the pyramidal tracts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral palpebral raphe | A narrow fibrous band in the lateral part of the orbicularis oculi muscle formed by the interlacing of fibres passing through the upper and lower eyelids. Synonym: raphe palpebralis lateralis, palpebral raphe. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior median fissure of medulla oblongata | The longitudinal groove in the midline of the anterior aspect of the medulla oblongata; it is the medullary equivalent of the anterior median fissure of the spinal cord and ends at the foramen caecum posterius; its caudal part is obliterated by the decussation of the pyramids. Synonym: fissura mediana anterior medullae oblongatae, anteromedian groove. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior median fissure of spinal cord | A deep median fissure on the anterior surface of the spinal cord. Synonym: fissura mediana anterior medullae spinalis, anteromedian groove, sulcus ventralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior median line | The line of intersection of the midsagittal plane with the anterior surface of the body. Synonym: linea mediana anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palmar branch of median nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of median nerve arising proximal to flexor retinaculum and running superficial to it to supply skin of proximal central palm and thenar eminence. Since it does not traverse carpal tunnel, it is not affected by carpal tunnel syndrome, even though it supplies skin distal to carpal tunnel. Synonym: ramus palmaris nervi mediani. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial root of median nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The part of the median nerve coming from the medial cord of the brachial plexus. Synonym: radix medialis nervi mediani. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median | <statistics> Any value that divides the probability of a random variable in half, i.e. The probability of observing a value above the median and the probability of observing a value below the median are both less than or equal to one half. For a finite population or sample, the median is the middle value of an odd number of values (arranged in ascending order) or any value between the two middle values of an even number of values, in the latter case it is conventional to use the average of the two middle values.
