| cortical arches of kidney | The portions of renal substance (cortex) intervening between the bases of the pyramids and the capsule of the kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical arteries | Branches of the anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral artery's that supply the cerebral cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical audiometry | Measurement of the potentials that arise in the auditory system above the level of the brainstem. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical blindness | Loss of sight due to an organic lesion in the visual cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical bone | The superficial thin layer of compact bone. Synonym: substantia corticalis, cortical substance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical cataract | A cataract in which the opacity affects the cortex of the lens. Synonym: peripheral cataract. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical convexity | The aspect of the cerebral hemisphere that lies in contact with the flat bones of the skull; it includes parts of the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes. Synonym: facies superolateralis cerebri, cortical convexity, superolateral cerebral surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical deafness | Deafness resulting from bilateral lesions of the primary receptive area of the temporal lobe. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical dysplasia | A malformative disorganization of the cytoarchitecture of the cortex relative to neurons. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical epilepsy | Epilepsy of various aetiologies characterised by focal seizures or secondarily generalised tonic-clonic seizures. Ictal symptoms are often related to the brain region where the seizure begins focally. Synonym: cortical epilepsy, local epilepsy, partial epilepsy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical granule | <cell biology, gynaecology> Specialised secretory vesicles lying just below the plasma membrane of the egg, that fuse and release their contents immediately after fertilization (activation) to prevent polyspermy. (13 Nov 1997) |

| cortical implantation | Implantation of blastocyst in the ovarian cortex, causing an ovarian pregnancy. See: ectopic pregnancy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical layer | Sub plasmalemmal layer of tangled microfilaments anchored to the plasma membrane by their barbed ends. This meshwork contributes to the mechanical properties of the cell surface and probably restricts the access of cytoplasmic vesicles to the plasma membrane. (18 Nov 1997) |
