| vertebral epidural space | Single-layered strong membrane, comparable to and continuous with (at foramen magnum) the meningeal layer of the intracranial dura mater of the brain. It does not (in contrast to the dura mater of brain) adhere to the enveloping bony structures (vertebrae) or their periosteum, being separated from the latter by a considerable space, the vertebral epidural space-a true space containing the internal vertebral venous plexus embedded in a matrix of epidural fat. Synonym: dura mater spinalis, endorrhachis, theca vertebralis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| cartilage space | A cavity within the matrix of cartilage, occupied by a chondrocyte. Synonym: cartilage space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Parona's space | A space between the pronator quadratus deep and the overlying flexor tendons of the forearm which is continuous through the carpal tunnel with the medial central palmar space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parotid space | A deep hollow on the side at the sides of the face flanking the posterior aspect of the ramus of the mandible with its attached muscles which is occupied by the parotid gland; it is lined with fascial laminae (the parotid sheath) derived from the investing layer of deep cervical fascia; the structures bounding the space collectively constitute the parotid bed. Surgeons operating in the area take advantage of the fact that the anteroposterior dimensions of the parotid space increase with protrusion of the mandible. Synonym: parotid recess, recessus parotideus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gingival space | The space between the surface of the tooth and the free gingiva. Synonym: sulcus gingivalis, gingival crevice, gingival space, subgingival space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Virchow-Robin space | A tunnel-like extension of the subarachnoid space surrounding blood vessels that pass into the brain or spinal cord from the subarachnoid space; the lining of the channel is composed of pia and glial feet of astrocytes; a continuation of the space around capillaries and nerve cells probably does not occur. Synonym: His' perivascular space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Reinke's space | The loose connective tissue in the superficial layer of the lamina propria of the vocal fold. Oedema of this space produces hoarseness in chronic smokers or in hypothyroidism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Meckel's space | The cleft in the meningeal layer of dura of the middle cranial fossa near the tip of the petrous part of the temporal bone; it encloses the roots of the trigeminal nerve and the trigeminal ganglion. Synonym: cavum trigeminale, Meckel's cavity, Meckel's space, trigeminal cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial midpalmar space | The more medial of the central palmar spaces, bounded medially by the hypothenar compartment; related distally to the synovial tendon sheaths of digits 3 and 4 and proximally to the common flexor sheath. Synonym: medial midpalmar space, middle palmar space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mediastinal space | <anatomy> The space in the thoracic cavity behind the sternum and in between the two pleural sacs (containing the lungs). (27 Sep 1997) |
| central palmar space | The more medial of the central palmar spaces, bounded medially by the hypothenar compartment; related distally to the synovial tendon sheaths of digits 3 and 4 and proximally to the common flexor sheath. Synonym: medial midpalmar space, middle palmar space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medullary space | The central cavity and the cellular intervals between the trabeculae of bone, filled with marrow. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retroadductor space | Potential space between the adductor pollicis and first dorsal interosseous muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retroinguinal space | A triangular space between the peritoneum and the transversalis fascia, at the lower angle of which is the inguinal ligament; it contains the lower portion of the external iliac artery. Synonym: Bogros' space, spatium retroinguinale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retromylohyoid space | The sulcus at the posterior end of the mylohyoid line. (05 Mar 2000) |
