| vena ovarica dextra | <anatomy, vein> Begins as the pampiniform plexus at the hilum of the ovary and opens into the inferior vena cava. Synonym: vena ovarica dextra. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| vena pulmonalis inferior dextra | <anatomy, vein> The vein returning oxygenated blood from the inferior lobe of the right lung to the left atrium. Synonym: vena pulmonalis inferior dextra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena pulmonalis superior dextra | <anatomy, vein> The vein returning oxygenated blood from the superior and middle lobes of the right lung to the left atrium. Synonym: vena pulmonalis superior dextra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena suprarenalis dextra | <anatomy, vein> The short vein that passes from the hilum of the right suprarenal to the inferior vena cava. Synonym: vena suprarenalis dextra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena testicularis dextra | <anatomy, vein> Begins as the pampiniform plexus and ascends to joint the inferior vena cava. Synonym: vena testicularis dextra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars dextra faciei diaphragmaticae hepatis | The part of the diaphragmatic surface of the liver deep to the bodies of the lower ribs on the right side. Synonym: pars dextra faciei diaphragmaticae hepatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hemicardia dextra | Right side of the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flexura coli dextra | The bend of the colon at the juncture of its ascending and transverse portions. Synonym: flexura coli dextra, hepatic flexure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Amussat's valvula | Anomalous folds occurring at the level of the seminal colliculus. Synonym: Amussat's valvula. (05 Mar 2000) |
| valvula | <anatomy> A small valve, once used in official nomenclature as a general term to designate a valve, such as in the heart, but in NA restricted to designation of a cusp of the aortic valve of the valve of the pulmonary trunk or the valves of the anus, foramen ovale, navicular fossa, coronary sinus, inferior vena cava or of the lymphatic vessels and veins. (18 Nov 1997) |
| valvula bicuspidalis | <anatomy, cardiology> The heart valve that divides the left atrium and left ventricle. During left atrial contraction, the mitral valve opens to allow blood to flow into the left ventricle. Upon closure, the mitral valve prohibits the regurgitation of blood back into the left atrium. The mitral valve is the only heart valve that has only 2 valve cusps (all others have 3). (13 Nov 1997) |
| valvula foraminis ovalis | A fold projecting into the left atrium from the margin of the foramen ovale in the foetus; when, with beginning inspiration, the blood pressure within the left atrium increases, the valve closes and its edges become adherent to the margin of the foramen ovale, occluding it. Synonym: valvula foraminis ovalis, falx septi, valve of oval foramen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| valvula fossae navicularis | A fold of mucous membrane sometimes found in the root of the navicular fossa of the urethra. Synonym: valvula fossae navicularis, Guerin's fold, Guerin's valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| valvula lymphatica | One of the delicate semilunar valves found in lymphatic vessels; they are usually paired and similar in structure to venous valves and occur at close intervals along the vessel wall. Synonym: valvula lymphatica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| valvula processus vermiformis | A fold of mucous membrane, simulating a valve, sometimes found at the origin of the vermiform appendix. Synonym: Gerlach's valve, valvula processus vermiformis. (05 Mar 2000) |
