| tonsilla cerebelli | A rounded lobule on the undersurface of each cerebellar hemisphere, continuous medially with the uvula of the cerebellar vermis. Synonym: tonsilla cerebelli, amygdala cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facies inferior hemispherii cerebelli | It rests in the posterior cranial fossa and overlies the medulla; it includes the semilunaris inferior, biventer lobule, cerebellar tonsil, and flocculus. Synonym: facies inferior hemispherii cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facies superior hemispherii cerebelli | It lies against the under surface of the tentorium and includes the ala lobuli centralis, quadrangular lobule, simple lobule, and superior semilunar lobule. Synonym: facies superior hemispherii cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| falx cerebelli | <anatomy> A short process of dura mater projecting forward from the internal occipital crest below the tentorium; it occupies the posterior cerebellar notch and the vallecula, and bifurcates below into two diverging limbs passing to either side of the foramen magnum. Synonym: falcula. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uvula cerebelli | A triangular elevation on the vermis of the cerebellum, lying between the two tonsils anterior to the pyramis. Synonym: uvula cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fissurae cerebelli | The deep furrows which divide the lobules of the cerebellum. See: postcentral fissure, primary fissure of cerebellum, secondary fissure of cerebellum. Synonym: fissurae cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fissura prima cerebelli | The deepest fissure of the cerebellum; demarcates the division of anterior and posterior lobes of the cerebellum; second to appear embryologically. Synonym: fissura prima cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fissura secunda cerebelli | A fissure that separates the uvula of the inferior vermis of the cerebellum from the pyramid. Synonym: fissura secunda cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fissura transversa cerebelli | The cleft caused by the protrusion of the anterior lobe of the cerebellum over the superior and middle cerebellar peduncles. Synonym: fissura transversa cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| folia cerebelli | cerebellar folia |
| laminae albae cerebelli | Layers of white substance seen on section of the cerebellum. Synonym: laminae medullares cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laminae medullares cerebelli | Layers of white substance seen on section of the cerebellum. Synonym: laminae medullares cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frenulum cerebelli | 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) |
| lingua cerebelli | A tongue-shaped sequence of flattened cerebellar folia forming the anterior (or superior) extreme of the cerebellar vermis, extending forward on the surface of the superior medullary velum between the two emerging superior cerebellar peduncles. Synonym: lingula cerebelli, lingua cerebelli, tongue of cerebellum. (05 Mar 2000) |
