| epiglottic folds | One of the three folds of mucous membrane passing between the tongue and the epiglottis, lateral glossoepiglottic fold on either side, and median glossoepiglottic fold centrally. Synonym: plicae epiglottica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tubal folds of uterine tubes | Many longitudinal folds in the mucous membrane of the uterine (fallopian) tube. Synonym: plicae tubariae tubae uterinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Kerckring's folds | The numerous folds of the mucous membrane of the small intestine, running transversely for about two-thirds of the circumference of the gut. Synonym: circular folds, Kerckring's folds, Kerckring's valves, valvulae conniventes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| labioscrotal folds | Lateral fold's at either side of the embryonic cloacal membrane that develop into either the scrotum or the labia majora. (05 Mar 2000) |

| midgastric transverse sphincter | Angular sphincter, thickening of the circular muscular layer forming a proposed intermediate sphincter at the level of the angular notch of the stomach. While the thickening of the circular muscle may indicate the commencement of the pyloric antrum, true functional sphincteric activity distinct from the other peristaltic contractions of the stomach is not observed although some of these may in fact temporarily close off the antrum from the remainder of the stomach lumen. Synonym: antral sphincter, midgastric transverse sphincter, sphincter antri, sphincter intermedius, sphincter of antrum, sphincter of gastric antrum. (05 Mar 2000) |
