| nucleus corporis geniculati medialis | The nerve cell groups composing the medial geniculate body (corpus geniculatum mediale). Synonym: nucleus corporis geniculati medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| nucleus dorsalis corporis trapezoidei | A circumscript, bipartite cell group located ventrolaterally in the lower pontine tegmentum, immediately dorsal to the trapezoid body; the nucleus receives fibres from both the ipsilateral and contralateral cochlear nuclei, and contributes fibres to the lateral (auditory) lemniscus of both sides. It is believed to be prominently involved in the function of spatial localization of sound. Synonym: nucleus dorsalis corporis trapezoidei, oliva superior, superior olivary nucleus, superior olive. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nucleus ventralis corporis trapezoidei | A cell group embedded among the fibres of the trapezoid body, the major decussation of the central auditory pathway, in the lower pons. The nucleus receives fibres from the contralateral cochlear nuclei and contributes fibres to the ascending auditory system or lateral lemniscus. Synonym: nucleus ventralis corporis trapezoidei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| teniola corporis callosi | A whitish line appearing on perfectly median sections of the brain as a thin bridge connecting the rostrum of the corpus callosum with the lamina terminalis; the rostral lamina contains no commissural fibres; instead, it corresponds to the line along which the pia mater reflects from the medial surface of one hemisphere to that of the other. Synonym: lamina rostralis, rostral layer, teniola corporis callosi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trabeculae corporis spongiosi penis | The fibrous bands interlacing between the vascular spaces of the corpus spongiosum and glans penis. Synonym: trabeculae corporis spongiosi penis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trichophytosis corporis | A fungal skin infection sometimes referred to as ringworm. Typically a scaly, red-shaped ring on the skin. Commonly seen in children. Treatment requires an antifungal cream such as clotrimazole or miconazole. (27 Sep 1997) |
| truncus corporis callosi | The main arched portion of the corpus callosum. Synonym: truncus corporis callosi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuber corporis callosi | splenium of corpus callosum |
| tunica albuginea corporis spongiosi | <anatomy> The thick layer of fibrous tissue surrounding the corpus spongiosum penis. It is thinner than the corresponding layer around each corpus cavernosum. Synonym: tunica albuginea corporis spongiosi, fibrous tunic of corpus spongiosum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facies anterior corporis maxillae | The surface of the maxilla below the orbit and lateral to the nasal aperture. Synonym: facies anterior corporis maxillae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facies anterior lateralis corporis humeri | The surface of the humerus lateral to the intertubercular groove. Synonym: facies anterior lateralis corporis humeri, facies anterolateralis corporis humeri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facies anterior medialis corporis humeri | The surface of the humerus between the anterior and medial borders of the bone. Synonym: facies anterior medialis corporis humeri, facies anteromedialis corporis humeri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facies anterolateralis corporis humeri | An alternate term for anterolateral surface of shaft of humerus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facies anteromedialis corporis humeri | An alternate term for anteromedial surface of shaft of humerus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facies posterior corporis humeri | The posterior surface of the humerus. Synonym: facies posterior corporis humeri. (05 Mar 2000) |
