| cleft uvula | The uvula, the little V-shaped fleshy mass hanging from the back of the soft palate, is cleft. Cleft uvula is a common minor anomaly occurring in about 1% of whites and 10% of Native Americans. Persons with a cleft uvula should not have their adenoids removed because, without the adenoids, they cannot achieve proper closure between the soft palate and pharynx while speaking and develop hypernasal speech. Also called bifid uvula. (12 Dec 1998) |

| pudendal cleft | The cleft between the labia majora. Synonym: rima pudendi, fissura pudendi, pudendal cleavage, pudendal slit, rima vulvae, urogenital cleft, vulvar slit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hyobranchial cleft | The cleft caudal to the hyoid arch of the embryo. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hyomandibular cleft | <anatomy> The cleft between the hyoid and mandibular arches of the embryo; the external auditory meatus is developed from its dorsal portion. Synonym: first visceral cleft. (05 Mar 2000) |
| natal cleft | The sulcus between the buttocks (nates). Synonym: crena ani, anal cleft, crena clunium, gluteal cleft. (05 Mar 2000) |
| subdural cleft | Originally thought to be a narrow fluid-filled interval between the dural and arachnoid; now known to be an artificial space created by the separation of the arachnoid from the dura as the result of trauma or some ongoing pathologic process; in the healthy state, the arachnoid is attached to the dura and a naturally occurring subdural space is not present. Synonym: spatium subdurale, cavum subdurale, subdural cavity, subdural cleavage, subdural cleft. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oblique facial cleft | Congenital facial cleft from mouth to the inner canthus of the eye. Synonym: oblique facial cleft. Origin: prosopo-+ G. Schisis, fissure (05 Mar 2000) |
| two-cleft | <botany> Divided about half way from the border to the base into two segments; bifid. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| facial cleft | A cleft resulting from incomplete merging or fusion of embryonic processes normally uniting in the formation of the face, e.g., cleft lip or cleft palate. Synonym: prosopoanoschisis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| urogenital cleft | The cleft between the labia majora. Synonym: rima pudendi, fissura pudendi, pudendal cleavage, pudendal slit, rima vulvae, urogenital cleft, vulvar slit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| first visceral cleft | <anatomy> The cleft between the hyoid and mandibular arches of the embryo; the external auditory meatus is developed from its dorsal portion. Synonym: first visceral cleft. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Larrey's cleft | A muscular defect in the diaphragm between the costal and the sternal portions. Synonym: Larrey's cleft, sternocostal triangle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute primary haemorrhagic meningoencephalitis | A disease characterised by acute onset of fever, followed by convulsions, delirium, and coma, and associated with perivascular demyelination and haemorrhagic foci in the central nervous system. Synonym: acute primary haemorrhagic meningoencephalitis, Strumpell's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acyclic monoterpene primary alcohol - NADP oxidoreductase | <enzyme> From catmint nepeta racemosa; involved in the biosynthesis of iridoid monoterpenes; oxidises geraniol, nerol, and their 10-hydroxy derivatives in the presence of nadp(+). Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: monoterpene primary alcohol - nadp oxidoreductase, ampano (26 Jun 1999) |
| anterior primary division | <anatomy, nerve> The larger, anterolaterally-directed major terminal branch (with the dorsal primary ramus) of all 31 pairs of mixed spinal nerves, formed at the intervertebral foramen. Most ventral primary rami, especially those involved in the innervation of the limbs, participate in the formation of the major nerve plexuses (cervical, brachial, and lumbosacral) and lose their identities. Most in the thoracic region, however, remain separate from adjacent rami to become the intercostal and subcostal nerves. Ventral primary rami provide innervation to the anterolateral body wall and trunk. Nomina Anatomica lists ventral primary rami as "rami ventrales" for each group of spinal nerves: 1) cervical (nervorum cervicalium ), 2) thoracic (nervorum thoracicorum ), 3) lumbar (nervorum lumbalium ), 4) sacral (nervorum sacralium )m, and 5) coccygeal (nervi coccygei ). Synonym: ramus ventralis nervi spinalis, anterior primary division. (05 Mar 2000) |
