| medullary striae of fourth ventricle | Slender fascicles of fibres extending transversally below the ependymal floor of the ventricle from the median sulcus to enter the inferior cerebellar peduncle. They arise from the arcuate nuclei on the ventral surface of the medullary pyramid. Synonym: striae medullares ventriculi quarti, acoustic striae, auditory striae, Bergmann's cords, medullary teniae, teniae acusticae. (05 Mar 2000) |

| medullary stria of thalamus | A narrow, compact fibre bundle that extends along the line of attachment of the roof of the third ventricle to the thalamus on each side and terminates posteriorly in the habenular nucleus. It is composed of fibres originating in the septal area, the anterior perforated substance, the lateral preoptic nucleus, and the medial segment of the globus pallidus. Synonym: stria medullaris thalami, stria fornicis, stria ventriculi tertii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medullary substance | The lipid material present in the myelin sheath of nerve fibres. Synonym: Schwann's white substance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medullary teniae | Slender fascicles of fibres extending transversally below the ependymal floor of the ventricle from the median sulcus to enter the inferior cerebellar peduncle. They arise from the arcuate nuclei on the ventral surface of the medullary pyramid. Synonym: striae medullares ventriculi quarti, acoustic striae, auditory striae, Bergmann's cords, medullary teniae, teniae acusticae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior medullary velum | A thin sheet of white matter, hidden by the cerebellar tonsil, attached along the peduncle of the flocculus and, at and near the midline, to the nodulus of the vermis; it is continuous caudally with the epithelial lamina and choroid plexus of the fourth ventricle. Synonym: velum medullare inferius, posterior medullary velum, Tarin's valve, valvula semilunaris tarini, velum semilunare, velum tarini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neoplasms, ductal, lobular, and medullary | Neoplasms, usually carcinoma, located within the centre of an organ or within small lobes, and in the case of the breast, intraductally. The emphasis of the name is on the location of the neoplastic tissue rather than on its histological type. most cancers of this type are located in the breast. (12 Dec 1998) |
| superior medullary velum | The thin layer of white matter stretching between the two superior cerebellar peduncles, forming the roof of the superior recess of the fourth ventricle. Synonym: velum medullare superius, anterior medullary velum, Vieussens' valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior medullary velum | A thin sheet of white matter, hidden by the cerebellar tonsil, attached along the peduncle of the flocculus and, at and near the midline, to the nodulus of the vermis; it is continuous caudally with the epithelial lamina and choroid plexus of the fourth ventricle. Synonym: velum medullare inferius, posterior medullary velum, Tarin's valve, valvula semilunaris tarini, velum semilunare, velum tarini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal medullary lamina | See: medullary laminae of thalamus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral medullary lamina of corpus striatum | A thin, sharply defined layer of fibres separating the putamen from the globus pallidus. Synonym: lamina medullaris lateralis corporis striati. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral medullary syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome due usually to thrombosis, characterised by dysarthria, dysphagia, staggering gait, and vertigo, and marked by hypotonia, incoordination of voluntary movement, nystagmus, Horner's syndrome on the ipsilateral side, and loss of pain and temperature senses on the side of the body opposite to the lesion. Synonym: lateral medullary syndrome, Wallenberg's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frenulum of superior medullary velum | A band passing from the longitudinal groove between the quadrigeminal bodies on to the superior medullary velum. Synonym: frenulum veli medullaris superioris, cerebellar frenulum, frenulum cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Abbott's tube | A tube with two lumens, one ending in a small collapsible balloon and the other in a metallic tip with numerous perforations; used for intestinal decompression. Synonym: Abbott's tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abdominal ostium of uterine tube | The fimbriated or ovarian extremity of an oviduct. Synonym: ostium abdominale tubae uterinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| air cells of auditory tube | Occasional small air cells in the inferior wall of the auditory tube, near the tympanic orifice, communicating with the tympanic cavity. Synonym: cellulae pneumaticae tubae auditivae, air cells of auditory tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
