| GC(T)A | giant cell (temporal) arteritis |
| parietal arteries | Branches of the terminal part of the middle cerebral artery, divided into two branches: anterior parietal artery and posterior parietal artery. Synonym: arteriae parietales. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| parietal border | Edge of a bone which articulates with the parietal bone. See: parietal border of frontal bone, parietal border of sphenoid bone, parietal border of temporal bone. Synonym: margo parietalis, parietal margin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal branch | Branches coursing in relationship to and supplying the parietal bone or parietal lobe of cerebrum, branches distributed to the body wall and limbs (the "parities") as opposed to visceral branches distributed to the body cavities. For example, the gray rami communicantes are the parietal branches of the sympathetic trunks (vs. The splanchnic nerves, which are visceral branches of the trunks). Synonym: rami parietales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal branch of medial occipital artery | <anatomy, artery> An anterior branch of the medial occipital artery supplying the posterior section of the parietal lobe of the cerebrum. Synonym: ramus parietalis arteriae occipitalis medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal branch of middle meningeal artery | <anatomy, artery> Smaller terminal branch (with frontal branch) of middle meningeal artery supplying posterior portion of lateral and superior dura and cranium. Synonym: ramus parietalis arteriae meningeae mediae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal cell | One of the cell's of the gastric glands; it lies upon the basement membrane, covered by the chief cell's, and secretes hydrochloric acid that reaches the lumen of the gland through fine intracellular and intercellular canals (canaliculi). Synonym: acid cell, oxyntic cell. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal cells, gastric | Cells of the gastric glands which secrete hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor. (12 Dec 1998) |
| parietal eminence | A prominent portion of the parietal bone, a little above the centre of its external surface, usually corresponding to the point of maximum width of the head. Synonym: tuber parietale, eminentia parietalis, parietal tuber. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal emissary vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein that connects the superior sagittal sinus with the tributaries of the superficial temporal vein and other veins of the scalp. Synonym: vena emissaria parietalis, emissarium parietale, Santorini's vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal eye | A non-image-forming, photoreceptive eye in or near the median line in certain crustacea and lower vertebrates; homologue of pineal gland in higher forms. Synonym: epiphysial eye, parietal eye. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal fistula | A fistula, either blind or complete, opening on the wall of the thorax or abdomen. Synonym: thoracic fistula. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal foramen | An inconstant foramen in the parietal bone occasionally found bilaterally near the sagittal margin posteriorly; when present it transmits an emissary vein to the superior sagittal sinus. Synonym: foramen parietale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal hernia | A hernia in which only a portion of the wall of the intestine is engaged. Synonym: Littre's hernia, partial enterocele, Richter's hernia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal layer | The outer layer of an enveloping sac or bursa, usually lining the walls of the cavity or space occupied by the enveloped structure, the structure itself being covered with the inner or visceral layer of the enveloping sac; an actual or potential space is enclosed by the two layers and intervenes between parietal and visceral layers. The parietal layer is usually the more substantial layer. Synonym: lamina parietalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal layer of leptomeninges | Like a cobweb, covered with or consisting of soft fibres or hairs so entangled as to give a cobwebby appearance. (09 Oct 1997) |
