| tendo oculi | <anatomy> The fibrous band that attaches the medial ends of the tarsal plates to the maxilla at the medial orbital margin. Synonym: ligamentum palpebrale mediale, ligamentum tarsale internum, tendo oculi, tendo palpebrarum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| equator bulbi oculi | An imaginary line encircling the globe of the eye equidistant from the anterior and posterior poles. Synonym: equator bulbi oculi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tunica albuginea oculi | <anatomy> The tough white outer coat of the eyeball, covering approximately the posterior five sixths of its surface and continuous anteriorly with the cornea and posteriorly with the external sheath of the optic nerve. Origin: L., Gr. Skleros = hard (18 Nov 1997) |
| tunica externa oculi | The outer layer of the eyeball composed of the sclera and cornea. Synonym: tunica fibrosa bulbi, tunica externa oculi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tunica vasculosa oculi | The vascular, pigmentary, or middle coat of the eye, comprising the choroid, ciliary body, and iris. Synonym: tunica vasculosa bulbi, Haller's tunica vasculosa, tunica vasculosa oculi, uvea, uveal tract. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lacrimal part of orbicularis oculi muscle | <anatomy> See: orbicularis oculi muscle. Synonym: pars lacrimalis musculi orbicularis oculi, Duverney's muscle, Horner's muscle, musculus tensor tarsi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fundus oculi | The concave interior of the eye, consisting of the retina, the choroid, the sclera, the optic disk, and blood vessels, seen by means of the ophthalmoscope. (12 Dec 1998) |
| asymmetric motor neuropathy | Neuropathy in which the loss of function is more marked in the extremities of one side of the body, old term for diabetic polyradiculopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| autonomic motor neuron | See: motor neuron. (05 Mar 2000) |
| autonomic motor neurons | (preganglionic neuron's), by contrast, innervate smooth muscle fibres or glands only by the intermediary of a second, peripheral, neuron (postganglionic or ganglionic m. Neuron) located in an autonomic ganglion. See: motor endplate, autonomic nervous system. Synonym: anterior horn cell, motoneuron. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bender Visual Motor Gestalt test | <psychology> A psychological test used by neurologists and clinical psychologists to measure a person's ability to visually copy a set of geometric designs. It consists of nine geometric designs on cards. The subject is asked to redraw them from memory after each one is presented individually. It is useful for measuring visuospatial and visuomotor coordination to detect brain damage. Synonym: Bender Visual Motor Gestalt test. (14 Aug 2000) |
| gamma motor neurons | The reflex arc consisting of small anterior horn cells and neuroma, their small fibres projecting to the intrafusal bundle producing its contraction, which initiates the afferent impulses that pass through the posterior root to the anterior horn cells, inducing a stretch reflex. Synonym: gamma motor neurons, gamma motor system, Granit's loop. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gamma motor system | The reflex arc consisting of small anterior horn cells and neuroma, their small fibres projecting to the intrafusal bundle producing its contraction, which initiates the afferent impulses that pass through the posterior root to the anterior horn cells, inducing a stretch reflex. Synonym: gamma motor neurons, gamma motor system, Granit's loop. (05 Mar 2000) |
