| spiral valve of cystic duct | A series of crescentic folds of mucous membrane in the upper part of the cystic duct, arranged in a somewhat spiral manner. Synonym: plica spiralis ductus cystici, Amussat's valve, Heister's valve, spiral valve of cystic duct, valvula spiralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spiral vein of modiolus | The vein running a spiral course in the modiolus of the cochlea; it is tributary to both the labyrinthine vein and the vein of the cochlear canaliculus. Synonym: vena spiralis modioli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| distal spiral septum | See: spiral septum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal spiral sulcus | A concavity in the floor of the cochlear duct formed by the overhanging labium vestibulare. Synonym: sulcus spiralis internus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| osseous spiral lamina | A double plate of bone winding spirally around the modiolus dividing the spiral canal of the cochlea incompletely into two, scala tympani and scala vestibuli; between the two plates of this lamina the fibres of the cochlear nerve reach the spiral organ (of Corti). Synonym: lamina spiralis ossea, spiral plate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tympanic labium of limbus of spiral lamina | The lower, long periosteal extension of the limbus laminae spiralis osseae that rests on the basilar lamina of the spiral organ (of Corti). Synonym: labium limbi tympanicum laminae spiralis, tympanic lip of limbus of spiral lamina. Labium urethrae, one of the two lateral margins of the external urethral orifice of the female.

| tympanic lip of limbus of spiral lamina | The lower, long periosteal extension of the limbus laminae spiralis osseae that rests on the basilar lamina of the spiral organ (of Corti). Synonym: labium limbi tympanicum laminae spiralis, tympanic lip of limbus of spiral lamina. Labium urethrae, one of the two lateral margins of the external urethral orifice of the female. (05 Mar 2000) |
| external spiral sulcus | A concavity in the outer wall of the cochlear duct between the prominentia spiralis and the spiral organ. Synonym: sulcus spiralis externus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| limbus of bony spiral lamina | The border of the spiral lamina; the thickened periosteum covering the upper plate of the bony spiral lamina of the cochlea. Synonym: limbus laminae spiralis osseae. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: tractus corticospinalis anterior, tractus pyramidalis anterior, anterior corticospinal tract, anterior pyramidal fasciculus, direct pyramidal tract, fasciculus corticospinalis anterior, fasciculus pyramidalis anterior, Turck's bundle, Turck's column, Turck's tract. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arcuate fasciculus | Long association fibre bundle lateral to the centrum ovale of the cerebral hemisphere, connecting the frontal, occipital, and temporal lobes; the fibres pass from the frontal lobe through the operculum to the posterior end of the lateral sulcus where many fibres radiate into the occipital lobe and others turn downward and forward around the putamen and pass to anterior portions of the temporal lobe. Synonym: fasciculus longitudinalis superior, arcuate fasciculus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Burdach's fasciculus | The larger lateral subdivision of the posterior funiculus. Synonym: fasciculus cuneatus, Burdach's column, Burdach's fasciculus, Burdach's tract, cuneate funiculus, wedge-shaped fasciculus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcarine fasciculus | A group of short association fibres beneath the calcarine fissure of the occipital lobe of the cerebrum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| macular fasciculus | The collection of fibres in the optic nerve directly connected with the macula lutea. Synonym: fasciculus macularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
