| coccygeal gland | An arteriovenous (arteriolovenular) anastomosis supplied by the middle sacral artery and located on the pelvic surface of the coccyx. It was formerly called a gland (of Luschka) or a glomus and included with the paraganglia. Synonym: corpus coccygeum, arteriococcygeal gland, coccygeal gland, glomus coccygeum. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| coccygeal horn | Two processes that project upward from the dorsum of the base of the coccyx to articulate with the sacral cornua. Synonym: cornua coccygealia, coccygeal horn. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coccygeal joint | The cartilaginous articulation of the coccyx with the sacrum. Synonym: articulatio sacrococcygea, coccygeal joint, junctura sacrococcygea, sacrococcygeal junction, symphysis sacrococcygea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coccygeal muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, spine of ischium and sacrospinous ligament; insertion, sides of lower part of sacrum and upper part of coccyx; action, assists in support of pelvic floor, especially when intra-abdominal pressures increase; nerve supply, third and fourth sacral. Synonym: musculus coccygeus, coccygeal muscle, musculus ischiococcygeus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coccygeal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A small nerve, the lowest of the spinal nerves, entering into the formation of the coccygeal plexus. Synonym: nervus coccygeus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coccygeal plexus | A small plexus formed by the fifth sacral and the coccygeal nerves; it gives origin to the anococcygeal nerves. Synonym: plexus coccygeus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coccygeal sinus | A fistula opening in the region of the coccyx, being the result of incomplete closure of the caudal end of the neurenteric canal. See: pilonidal sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coccygeal vertebrae | The four terminal segments of the vertebral column, usually fused to form the coccyx. Synonym: vertebrae coccygeae, tail vertebrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coccygeal whorl | A spiral arrangement of coarse hairs sometimes present over the region of the coccyx. Synonym: coccygeal whorl. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gangliated cord | One of the two long ganglionated nerve strands alongside the vertebral column that extend from the base of the skull to the coccyx; they are connected to each spinal nerve by gray rami and receive fibres from the spinal cord through white rami connecting with the thoracic and upper lumbar spinal nerves. Synonym: truncus sympathicus, gangliated cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genital cord | One of a pair of mesenchymal ridges bulging into the caudal part of the celom of a young embryo and containing the mesonephric and paramesonephric duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial cord of brachial plexus | In the brachial plexus, the bundle of nerve fibres formed by the anterior division of the inferior trunk which lies medial to the axillary artery; it gives off the medial pectoral nerve, the medial brachial cutaneous, and medial antebrachial cutaneous, nerves and end by dividing into the medial root of the median nerves and the ulnar nerve. Synonym: fasciculus medialis plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vitelline cord | A persistent yolk stalk in the form of a solid cord of tissue connecting ileum to umbilicus. Synonym: omphalomesenteric cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vocal cord nodules | Small, circumscribed, bilateral, beadlike enlargements on the vocal cords caused by overuse or abuse of the voice; often reversible by voice therapy. Synonym: singer's nodes, singer's nodules, teachers' nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
