| ulnar margin of forearm | An imaginary line extrapolated from the medial epicondyle of the humerus to the styloid process of the ulna, forming a border between the anterior and posterior surfaces. Synonym: margo medialis antebrachii, margo ulnaris antebrachii, ulnar margin of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |

| fibular margin of foot | The border of the foot between the small toe and the heel. Synonym: margo lateralis pedis, margo fibularis pedis, fibular margin of foot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lacrimal margin of maxilla | The margin of the nasal surface of the maxilla that articulates with the lacrimal bone. Synonym: margo lacrimalis maxillae, lacrimal margin of maxilla. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral margin | The margin or edge of a structure which is farthest from the midline. Synonym: margo lateralis, lateral margin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| free margin | Unattached edge of a sturcture, often opposite the attached edge. See: free border of nail, free border of ovary. Synonym: margo liber, free margin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| free margin of eyelids | The unattached inferior edge of the upper lid and superior edge of the lower lid, where the anterior (cutaneous) surface of the eyelid meets the posterior (conjunctival) surface of the eyelid. The free margins of the eyelids bound the rima palpebrarum, and each free margin has an anterior and posterior border. See: borders of eyelids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frontal margin | Edge of a bone which articulates with the frontal bone. See: frontal border of parietal bone, frontal border of sphenoid bone. Synonym: margo frontalis, frontal margin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ascending parietal convolution | The anterior convolution of the parietal lobe, bounded in front by the central sulcus (fissure of Rolando) and posteriorly by the interparietal sulcus. Synonym: gyrus postcentralis, ascending parietal convolution, ascending parietal gyrus, posterior central convolution, posterior central gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ascending parietal gyrus | The anterior convolution of the parietal lobe, bounded in front by the central sulcus (fissure of Rolando) and posteriorly by the interparietal sulcus. Synonym: gyrus postcentralis, ascending parietal convolution, ascending parietal gyrus, posterior central convolution, posterior central gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal | 1. <anatomy> Of or pertaining to the walls of a cavity. 2. Pertaining to or located near the parietal bone, as the parietal lobe. (18 Nov 1997) |
| parietal angle | An angle formed by the meeting of the prolongation of two lines tangential to the most prominent part of the zygomatic arch and to the parietofrontal suture on each side; when the lines remain parallel the angle is zero; when they diverge it is negative. Synonym: Quatrefages' angle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
