| undescended testis | A testis that has failed to descend into the scrotum; there are palpable and unpalpable (impalpable) variants. Synonym: cryptorchid testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lamina parietalis tunicae vaginalis testis | The outer part of the tunica vaginalis testis supported by the internal spermatic fascia. Synonym: lamina parietalis tunicae vaginalis testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lamina visceralis tunicae vaginalis testis | The inner part of the tunica vaginalis testis applied directly to the testis and epididymis. Synonym: lamina visceralis tunicae vaginalis testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral surface of testis | The laterally directed surface of the testis. Synonym: facies lateralis testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum testis | The caudal portion of the embryonic urogenital ridge; the upper third of the gubernaculum testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobules of testis | The subdivisions of the parenchyma of the testis formed by delicate fibrous septa that pass inward from the tunica albuginea to converge at the mediastinum testis. Synonym: lobuli testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobuli testis | The subdivisions of the parenchyma of the testis formed by delicate fibrous septa that pass inward from the tunica albuginea to converge at the mediastinum testis. Synonym: lobuli testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute vascular occlusion | <cardiology, surgery> A serious condition that results from the sudden blockage of an artery, usually with a blood clot. (27 Sep 1997) |
| acute vascular purpura | <dermatology> This relatively rare disorder is characterised by skin purpura, joint pains, abdominal pain and renal disease (glomerulonephritis). Although Henoch-Schonlein purpura or anaphylactoid purpura, is thought to be a immune complex mediated disease, its exact cause is unknown. Its typical benign coarse can, however, include renal failure. (27 Sep 1997) |
| articular vascular circle | An anastomosis of vessels encircling a joint. See: articular vascular network. Synonym: circulus articularis vasculosus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular vascular network | A vascular rete in the neighborhood of a joint, where such arrangements are common, enabling a collateral circulation by which blood will be supplied distal to the joint regardless of compromises resulting from joint position. Synonym: circulus articularis vasculosus, rete vasculosum articulare, articular network. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular vascular network of elbow | Vascular networks in the region of the elbow, composed of anastomoses between branches of the radial and middle collateral, superior and inferior ulnar collateral, radial recurrent, interosseous recurrent, and recurrent ulnar arteries. Synonym: rete articulare cubiti. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular vascular network of knee | An arterial network over the front and sides of the knee, formed by branches of the descending genicular artery, of the five genicular arteries from the popliteal, of the anterior tibial recurrent, and of the fibular circumflex branch of the posterior tibial. Synonym: rete articulare genus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atherosclerotic vascular disease | <cardiology> The progressive narrowing and hardening of the arteries over time. This is known to occur to some degree with aging, but other risk factors that accelerate this process have been identified. These factors include: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes and family history for atherosclerotic disease. (27 Sep 1997) |
