| funiculus | Origin: L, a little cord. See Funicle. 1. (Anat) A cord, baud, or bundle of fibres; especially, one of the small bundles of fibres, of which large nerves are made up; applied also to different bands of white matter in the brain and spinal cord. 2. <zoology> A short cord which connects the embryo of some myriapods with the amnion. In Bryozoa, an organ extending back from the stomach. See Bryozoa, and Phylactolema. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| funiculus amnii | Amniotic cord found in several domestic animals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| funiculus anterior | Anterior white column of spinal cord, a column or bundle of white matter on either side of the anterior median fissure, between that and the anterolateral sulcus. Synonym: funiculus anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| funiculus dorsalis | (05 Mar 2000) |
| funiculus gracilis | gracile fasciculus |
| funiculus lateralis | The lateral white column of the spinal cord between the lines of exit and entrance of the anterior and posterior nerve roots. Synonym: funiculus lateralis, anterolateral column of spinal cord, lateral funiculus of spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| funiculus posterior | (05 Mar 2000) |
| funiculus separans | An oblique ridge in the floor of the fourth ventricle of the brain, separating the area postrema from the vagal trigone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| funiculus solitarius | A slender, compact fibre bundle extending longitudinally through the dorsolateral region of the medullary tegmentum, surrounded by the nucleus of the solitary tract, below the obex decussating over the central canal, and descending over some distance into the upper cervical segments of the spinal cord. It is composed of primary sensory fibres that enter with the vagus, glossopharyngeal, and facial nerves, and in part convey information from stretch receptors and chemoreceptors in the walls of the cardiovascular, respiratory, and intestinal tracts; in rostral parts of the tract impulses are generated by the receptor cells of the taste buds in the mucosa of the tongue. Its fibres are distributed to the nucleus of the solitary tract. Synonym: tractus solitarius, fasciculus rotundus, fasciculus solitarius, funiculus solitarius, Gierke's respiratory bundle, Krause's respiratory bundle, round fasciculus, solitary bundle, solitary fasciculus.

| funiculus spermaticus | A group of structures which go through the inguinal canal to the testis. The structures include the vas deferens, arteries, veins, lymphatic vessels, and nerves. (12 Dec 1998) |
| funiculus teres | Longitudinal elevation of the rhomboid fossa, extending along either side of the midline throughout the length of the rhombencephalon; made up of named elevations such as the facial colliculus and the hypoglossal and vagal trigones. Synonym: eminentia medialis, eminentia teres, funiculus teres, round eminence. (05 Mar 2000) |
| funiculus umbilicalis | The flexible structure, giving passage to the umbilical arteries and vein, which connects the embryo or foetus to the placenta. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ventral | 1. Pertaining to the belly or to any venter. 2. Denoting a position more toward the belly surface than some other object of reference, same as anterior in human anatomy. Origin: L. Ventralis (18 Nov 1997) |
| ventral anterior nucleus of thalamus | The most rostral of the subdivisions of the ventral nucleus, receiving projections from the globus pallidus and projecting to the premotor and frontal cortex. Synonym: nucleus ventralis anterior thalami. (05 Mar 2000) |
