| bulboventricular ridge | An elevation on the inner surface of the embryonic heart at four to five weeks; it indicates the division between the developing ventricles and the bulbus cordis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| palatine ridge | A rather narrow, low elevation in the centre of the hard palate that extends from the incisive papilla posteriorly over the entire length of the mucosa of the hard palate. Synonym: raphe palati, palatine ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglion ridge | A group of embryonic cells that separate from the neural plate during neurulation and migrate to give several different lineages of adult cells: the spinal and autonomic ganglia, the glial cells of the peripheral nervous system and nonneuronal cells, such as chromaffin cells, melanocytes and some haemopoietic cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
| marginal ridge | The rounded borders which form the mesial and distal margins of the occlusal surface of a tooth. Synonym: crista marginalis, marginal ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genital ridge | An elevation of thickened mesothelium and underlying mesenchyme on the ventromedial border of the embryonic mesonephros; the primordial germ cells become embedded in it, establishing it as the primordium of the testis or ovary. Synonym: genital ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Passavant's ridge | A prominence on the posterior wall of the naso-pharynx formed by contraction of the superior constrictor of the pharynx during swallowing. Synonym: Passavant's bar, Passavant's pad, Passavant's ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial epicondylar ridge | The distal sharp portion of the medial margin of the humerus. Synonym: crista supracondylaris medialis, medial epicondylar crest, medial epicondylar ridge, medial supracondylar crest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial supracondylar ridge | The distal sharp portion of the medial margin of the humerus. Synonym: crista supracondylaris medialis, medial epicondylar crest, medial epicondylar ridge, medial supracondylar crest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pectoral ridge | The ridge below the greater tubercle of the humerus into which the pectoralis major muscle inserts. Synonym: crista tuberculi majoris, bicipital ridges, pectoral ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gluteal ridge | The point of insertion on the upper portion of the shaft of the femur of the greater part of the gluteus maximus muscle; when markedly developed this tuberosity is called the third trochanter. Synonym: trochanter tertius, tuberositas glutea, crista glutea, gluteal crest, gluteal ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| residual ridge | That portion of the processus alveolaris remaining in the edentulous mouth following resorption of the section containing the alveoli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| centre of ridge | The buccolingual midline of the residual ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gonadal ridge | An elevation of thickened mesothelium and underlying mesenchyme on the ventromedial border of the embryonic mesonephros; the primordial germ cells become embedded in it, establishing it as the primordium of the testis or ovary. Synonym: genital ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mesonephric ridge | A ridge which, in early human embryos, comprises the entire urogenital ridge; however, later in development a more medial genital ridge, the potential gonad, is demarcated from it. See: urogenital ridge. Synonym: mesonephric fold. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ridge | 1. A (usually rough) linear elevation. See: crest. 2. In dentistry, any linear elevation on the surface of a tooth. 3. The remainder of the alveolar process and its soft tissue covering after the teeth are removed. Origin: A. S. Hyrcg, back, spine (05 Mar 2000) |
