| tunica muscularis uteri | <anatomy> Uterine smooth muscle. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| tunica serosa uteri | Serous coat of uterus; the visceral peritoneum covering the fundus and posterior body of the uterus. Synonym: tunica serosa uteri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facies intestinalis uteri | The posterosuperior surface of the uterus with which loops of intestine come in contact. Synonym: facies intestinalis uteri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facies vesicalis uteri | The surface of the uterus facing the bladder and separated from it by the uterovesical pouch of peritoneum. Synonym: facies vesicalis uteri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| labia uteri | See: anterior lip of uterine os, posterior lip of uterine os. Vestibular labium of limbus of spiral lamina, the upper, short periosteal extension of the limbus laminae spiralis osseae which provides the central attachment for the tectorial membrane. Synonym: labium limbi vestibulare laminae spiralis, lamina dentata, vestibular lip of limbus of spiral lamina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| labium anterius ostii uteri | The portion of the vaginal part of the uterine cervix that bounds the ostium anteriorly intervening between the ostium and the anterior vaginal fornix. It is slightly shorter than labium posterius. Synonym: labium anterius ostii uteri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| labium posterius ostii uteri | The portion of the uterine cervix that bounds the ostium posteriorly. It is slightly longer than labium anterius, intervening between the cervical canal and the posterior fornix of the vagina. Synonym: labium posterius ostii uteri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fornix uteri | The recess at the vault of the vagina; it is divided into an anterior part, posterior part, and lateral part with respect to its relation to the cervix of the uterus. The posterior part is clinically significant as the site for culdocentesis and culdoscopy. The proximity of the ureter (below) and the uterine artery (above) adjacent to the lateral fornix is important clinically. Synonym: fornix vaginae, fornix uteri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fundus uteri | The upper rounded extremity of the uterus above the openings of the uterine (fallopian) tubes. Synonym: fundus uteri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum latum uteri | The peritoneal fold passing from the lateral margin of the uterus to the wall of the pelvis on either side, and in so doing also ensheathing the ovaries and uterine tubes. Synonym: ligamentum latum uteri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum teres uteri | A fibromuscular band that is attached to the uterus on either side in front of and below the opening of the uterine tube; it passes through the inguinal canal to the labium majus; corresponds to the spermatic cord of male in that it passes through the inguinal canal and gains similar coverings, but is not homologous. Synonym: ligamentum teres uteri, Hunter's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| admixture lesion | <radiology> Cyanosis and increased pulmonary blood flow, transposition (TGV), truncus arteriosis, TAPVR, tricuspid atresia (sort of intracardiac TAPVR) (12 Dec 1998) |
| andersson lesion | <radiology> Discovertebral fracture, seen in ankylosing spondylitis (12 Dec 1998) |
| Baehr-Lohlein lesion | Focal embolic glomerulonephritis occurring in bacterial endocarditis. Synonym: Baehr-Lohlein lesion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| benign lymphoepithelial lesion | Benign tumour-like masses of lymphoid tissue in the parotid gland, containing scattered small, mainly solid islands of epithelial cells. Synonym: Godwin tumour. (05 Mar 2000) |
