| transversus thoracis | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, dorsal surface of xiphoid cartilage and lower portion of dorsal surface of body of sternum; insertion, second to sixth costal cartilages; action, contributes to depression of ribs, narrowing chest; nerve supply, intercostal. Synonym: musculus transversus thoracis, musculus triangularis sterni, sternocostalis muscle, transverse muscle of thorax. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tubulus transversus | A tubular invagination of the sarcolemma of skeletal or cardiac muscle fibres that surrounds myofibrils as the intermediate element of the triad; involved in transmitting the action potential from the sarcolemma to the interior of the myofibril. (05 Mar 2000) |

| anterior parietal artery | <anatomy, artery> The branch distributed to the anterior part of the parietal lobe. Synonym: arteria parietales anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ascending parietal convolution | The anterior convolution of the parietal lobe, bounded in front by the central sulcus (fissure of Rolando) and posteriorly by the interparietal sulcus. Synonym: gyrus postcentralis, ascending parietal convolution, ascending parietal gyrus, posterior central convolution, posterior central gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ascending parietal gyrus | The anterior convolution of the parietal lobe, bounded in front by the central sulcus (fissure of Rolando) and posteriorly by the interparietal sulcus. Synonym: gyrus postcentralis, ascending parietal convolution, ascending parietal gyrus, posterior central convolution, posterior central gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal | 1. <anatomy> Of or pertaining to the walls of a cavity. 2. Pertaining to or located near the parietal bone, as the parietal lobe. (18 Nov 1997) |
| parietal angle | An angle formed by the meeting of the prolongation of two lines tangential to the most prominent part of the zygomatic arch and to the parietofrontal suture on each side; when the lines remain parallel the angle is zero; when they diverge it is negative. Synonym: Quatrefages' angle. (05 Mar 2000) |
