| Clarke's column | A column of large neurons located in the base of the posterior gray column of the spinal cord, extending from the first thoracic through the second lumbar segment; it gives rise to the dorsal spinocerebellar tract of the same side. Synonym: nucleus thoracicus, Clarke's column, Clarke's nucleus, dorsal nucleus, nucleus dorsalis, Stilling's column, Stilling's nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| column | <plant biology> The lower part of an awn in grasses, when distinctly different in form from the upper part, a structure (a gynostemium) in orchids which extends above the ovary of a flower and incorporates stigma, style and stamens. (15 Jan 1998) |
| column cells | Neurons in the gray matter of the spinal cord whose axons are confined within the central nervous system. (05 Mar 2000) |
| column chromatography | A form of partition, adsorption, ion exchange, or affinity chromatography in which one phase is liquid (aqueous) flowing down a column packed with the second phase, a solid; the dissolved substances form a partition between the solid and liquid phases depending on the chemical and physical conditions of each phase; the more strongly adsorbed solutes reach the bottom of the column later than the less strongly adsorbed ones. (05 Mar 2000) |
| column of bertin | <radiology> Partial hypertrophy of the renal cortex protruding into the renal sinus, seen on ultrasound, not pathologic--incidental finding (12 Dec 1998) |
| column of fornix | That part of the fornix that curves down in front of the thalamus and the interventricular foramen of Monro, then continues through the hypothalamus to the mamillary body; consisting primarily of fibres originating in the hippocampus and subiculum, the column of fornix is the direct continuation of the body of the fornix. Synonym: columna fornicis, anterior pillar of fornix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| column of Spitzka-Lissauer | See: dorsolateral fasciculus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| winogradsky column | <apparatus> A glass column with an anaerobic lower zone and an aerobic upper zone, which allows growth of microorganisms under conditions similar to those found in a nutrient-rich lake. (09 Oct 1997) |
| posterior column | The pronounced, dorsolaterally oriented ridge of gray matter in each lateral half of the spinal cord, corresponding to the posterior or dorsal horn appearing in transverse sections of the cord. Synonym: columna posterior, dorsal column of spinal cord, posterior column of spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior column cordotomy | Division of the posterior column of the spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| special somatic afferent column | A column of gray matter in the hindbrain of the embryo, represented in the adult by the nuclei of the auditory and vestibular nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| special visceral efferent column | A column of gray matter in the hindbrain of the embryo, represented in the adult by the trigeminal and facial nuclei and the nucleus ambiguus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Stilling's column | A column of large neurons located in the base of the posterior gray column of the spinal cord, extending from the first thoracic through the second lumbar segment; it gives rise to the dorsal spinocerebellar tract of the same side. Synonym: nucleus thoracicus, Clarke's column, Clarke's nucleus, dorsal nucleus, nucleus dorsalis, Stilling's column, Stilling's nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal column stimulation | Electrical stimulation, either percutaneously or by direct application of electrodes to the dorsal columns of the spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Turck's column | Uncrossed fibres forming a small bundle in the pyramidal tract. See: pyramidal tract. Synonym: tractus corticospinalis anterior, tractus pyramidalis anterior, anterior corticospinal tract, anterior pyramidal fasciculus, direct pyramidal tract, fasciculus corticospinalis anterior, fasciculus pyramidalis anterior, Turck's bundle, Turck's column, Turck's tract.
