| anterior auricular groove | A notch between the supratragic tubercle and the crus of the helix. Synonym: incisura anterior auris, anterior auricular groove, auricular notch, sulcus auriculae anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |

| anterior intermediate groove | A furrow occasionally seen in the adult between the anterior median fissure and the anterior lateral sulcus of the spinal cord but usually present only in the foetus. It indicates the lateral border of the anterior corticospinal fasciculus. Synonym: anterior intermediate groove, sulcus intermedius anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior interventricular groove | A groove on the anterosuperior surface of the heart, marking the location of the septum between the two ventricles. Synonym: sulcus interventricularis anterior, crena cordis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterolateral groove | An indistinct furrow on the ventral surface of the spinal cord and medulla oblongata, on either side marking the line of exit of the anterior nerve roots. Synonym: sulcus lateralis anterior, anterolateral groove. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anteromedian groove | The longitudinal groove in the midline of the anterior aspect of the medulla oblongata; it is the medullary equivalent of the anterior median fissure of the spinal cord and ends at the foramen caecum posterius; its caudal part is obliterated by the decussation of the pyramids. Synonym: fissura mediana anterior medullae oblongatae, anteromedian groove. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular groove | A groove on the outer surface of the heart marking the division between the atria and the ventricles. Synonym: sulcus coronarius, atrioventricular groove, atrioventricular sulcus, auriculoventricular groove, coronary sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| auriculoventricular groove | A groove on the outer surface of the heart marking the division between the atria and the ventricles. Synonym: sulcus coronarius, atrioventricular groove, atrioventricular sulcus, auriculoventricular groove, coronary sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bicipital groove | A furrow running down the shaft of the humerus between the two tubercles, lodging the tendon of the long head of the biceps, and giving attachment in its floor to the latissimus dorsi muscle. Synonym: sulcus intertubercularis, bicipital groove, intertubercular sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| branchial groove | An external embryonic groove between contiguous branchial arches. See: branchial clefts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palatine groove | One of a number of grooves on the lower surface of the palatine process of the maxilla in which the palatine vessels and nerves lie. Synonym: sulcus palatinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palatovaginal groove | A furrow on the inferior aspect of the vaginal process of the sphenoid bone that is bridged below by the sphenoidal process of the palatine bone to form the palatovaginal canal. Synonym: sulcus palatovaginalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| major groove | In a detailed analysis of DNA structure, there are two types of grooves that can be seen; the major groove has the nitrogen and oxygen atoms of the base pairs pointing inward toward the helical axis, while in the minor groove, the nitrogen and oxygen atoms point outwards; important because the major groove is more dependent on base composition and may be the site for protein recognition of specific DNA sequences or regions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paraglenoid groove | A groove on the pelvic surface of the ilium just lateral to the auricular surface; it is more pronounced in the female. Synonym: paraglenoid groove, paraglenoid sulcus, preauricular sulcus, sulcus paraglenoidalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertebral groove | The depression bounded by the spinous processes and laminae of the vertebrae, in which lie the deep muscles of the back. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carotid groove | The groove on the body of the sphenoid bone in which the internal carotid artery lies in its course through the cavernous sinus. Synonym: sulcus caroticus, carotid sulcus, cavernous groove. (05 Mar 2000) |
