| LD50 | Median Lethal Dose; 반치사량 |
| median mandibular point | <anatomy> A point on the anteroposterior centre of the mandibular ridge in the median sagittal plane. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| median maxillary anterior alveolar cleft | <anatomy> An asymptomatic midline defect of the maxillary anterior ridge; the result of a failure of fusion or development of the lateral halves of the palate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans, the fibres of the median nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually c6 to t1), travel via the brachial plexus, and supply sensory and motor innervation to parts of the forearm and hand. (12 Dec 1998) |
| median palatal cyst | A developmental cyst located in the midline of the hard palate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median palatine suture | Line of union between the horizontal plates of the palatine bones, continuing the intermaxillary suture posteriorly. Synonym: sutura palatina mediana. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median plane | A vertical plane through the midline of the body that divides the body into right and left halves. See: Addison's clinical planes. Synonym: midsagittal plane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median raphe cyst of the penis | A cyst of the raphe penis resulting from incomplete closure of the urethral groove, becoming clinically evident in childhood or later. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median retruded relation | The most retruded physiologic relation of the mandible to the maxillae to and from which the individual can make lateral movements; it is a condition which can exist at various degrees of jaw separation, and it occurs around the terminal hinge axis, the most posterior relation of the mandible to the maxillae at the established vertical relation See: eccentric relation. Synonym: median retruded relation, median relation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median rhinoscopy | Inspection of the roof of the nasal cavity and openings of the posterior ethmoid cells and sphenoidal sinus by means of a long-bladed nasal speculum or nasopharyngoscope. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median sacral artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, posterior aspect of abdominal aorta just above the bifurcation; distribution, lower lumbar vertebrae, sacrum, and coccyx; anastomoses, lateral sacral, superior and middle rectal. Synonym: arteria sacralis mediana, middle sacral artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median sacral crest | An unpaired crest formed by the fused spinous processes of the upper four sacral vertebrae. Synonym: crista sacralis mediana. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median sacral vein | <anatomy, vein> An unpaired vein accompanying the middle sacral artery receiving blood from the sacral venous plexus and emptying into the left common iliac vein. Synonym: vena sacralis mediana. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median section | A cross section attained by slicing in the median plane, actually or through imaging techniques, the body or any part of the body which occupies or crosses the median plane or by slicing any generally symmetrical anatomic structure, such as a finger or a cell, in its midline. Since actual sectioning the median plane results in a right and a left half, an anatomical median section may be a two-dimensional view of the cut surface on the medial aspect of either half. Synonym: midsagittal section. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median sternotomy | <surgery> An incision through the midline of the sternum usually used to gain access to the heart, mediastinal structures, and great vessels. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median strumectomy | <surgery> Removal of a median goiter or an enlarged isthmus of the thyroid gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
