| alar plate of neural tube | The dorsal division of the lateral walls of the neural tube in the embryo; it gives rise to neurons relaying afferent impulses to higher centres; in the adult such neurons compose the sensory nuclei of the spinal cord and brainstem. Synonym: lamina alaris, alar plate of neural tube, dorsolateral plate of neural tube, lamina dorsalis, wing plate. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| anal plate | The anal portion of the cloacal plate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axial plate | The primitive streak of an embryo. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal plate of neural tube | The ventral division of the lateral walls of the neural tube in the embryo; it contains neuroblasts giving rise to somatic and visceral motor neurons. Synonym: lamina basalis, basal plate of neural tube, lamina ventralis, ventral plate of neural tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bone plate | A metal bar with perforations for the insertion of screws; used to immobilise fractured segments. (05 Mar 2000) |
| buttress plate | A metal plate used to support the internal fixation of a fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiogenic plate | The thickened layer of splanchnic mesoderm from which the cardiopericardial primordia of very young embryos are derived. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palatal plate | A partial denture major connector that has an anteroposterior width in excess of two maxillary premolars. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palatine surface of horizontal plate of palatine bone | The inferior surface of the horizontal plate of the palatine bone. Synonym: facies palatina laminae horizontalis ossis palatini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paper plate | A thin plate of ethmoid bone forming part of the medial wall of the orbit and the lateral wall for the ethmoidal labyrinth. Synonym: lamina orbitalis ossis ethmoidalis, lamina papyracea, orbital lamina of ethmoid bone, orbital layer of ethmoid bone, orbital plate, paper plate, papyraceous plate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parachordal plate | The cartilage primordia of the base of the skull situated on either side of the cephalic part of the notochord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral plate | Ventral midline thinning of the developing neural tube, a continuity between the basal laminae of either side; opposite of roof plate. Synonym: ventral plate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral plate of neural tube | The ventral division of the lateral walls of the neural tube in the embryo; it contains neuroblasts giving rise to somatic and visceral motor neurons. Synonym: lamina basalis, basal plate of neural tube, lamina ventralis, ventral plate of neural tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal plate | The outer of the two layers of the lateral plate mesoderm, which becomes associated with the ectoderm; the ectoderm and parietal plate mesoderm together constitute the somatopleure, the lamina of the ethmoid bone that forms the nasal septum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertical plate | Flat portion of a bone which lies within or closely approximates a vertical plane. See: perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone, perpendicular plate of palatine bone. Synonym: lamina perpendicularis, pars perpendicularis, vertical plate. (05 Mar 2000) |
