| anterior ground bundle | The ground bundle of the anterior column of the spinal cord. See: fasciculi proprii. Synonym: anterior ground bundle. Origin: L. Dim. Of fascis, bundle (05 Mar 2000) |
| Arnold's bundle | A fibre group originating in the cerebral cortex of the temporal lobe, particularly the superior and middle temporal gyri, following the sublenticular limb of the internal capsule into the lateral margin of the crus cerebri in which it descends to its termination in the pontine nuclei or the ventral part of the pons. Synonym: tractus temporopontinus, Arnold's bundle, Arnold's tract. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular bundle | The bundle of modified cardiac muscle fibres that begins at the atrioventricular node as the trunk of the atrioventricular bundle and passes through the right atrioventricular fibrous ring to the membranous part of the interventricular septum where the trunk divides into two branches, the right crus of the atrioventricular bundle and the left crus of the atrioventricular bundle; the two crura ramify in the subendocardium of their respective ventricles. Synonym: fasciculus atrioventricularis, atrioventricular band, Gaskell's bridge, His' band, His' bundle, bundle of His, Keith's bundle, Kent's bundle, Kent-His bundle, ventriculonector.
