| terminal thread | A long, slender connective tissue (pia mater) strand extending from the extremity of the medullary cone to the internal aspect of the spinal dural sac (filum terminale internum); stout strands of connective tissue attaching the spinal dural sac to the coccyx (filum terminale externum), commonly called the coccygeal ligament. Synonym: filum terminale, nervus impar, terminal thread. (05 Mar 2000) |

| terminal transferases | Enzymes that covalently add nucleotides to the 3' end of polynucleic acids; e.g., DNA nucleotidylexotransferase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| terminal vein | <anatomy, vein> A long vein passing forward in the groove between the thalamus and caudate nucleus, covered by the lamina affixa, receiving the transverse caudate veins along its lateral side, and joining at the caudal wall of Monro's foramen with the choroidal vein and vein of septum pellucidum to form the internal cerebral vein. Synonym: vena terminalis, vena thalamostriata superior, terminal vein, vein of corpus striatum. (05 Mar 2000) |

| terminal web | <cell biology> The cytoplasmic region at the base of microvilli in intestinal epithelial cells, a region rich in microfilaments from the microvillar core and from adherens junctions, in myosin and in other proteins characteristic of an actomyosin motor system. (13 Jan 1998) |
| termino-terminal anastomosis | An operation by which the central end of an artery is connected with the peripheral end of the corresponding vein, and the peripheral end of the artery with the central end of the vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| functional terminal innervation ratio | The number of muscle fibres divided by the number of axons that innervate them. (05 Mar 2000) |
| long-terminal repeat | <molecular biology> Identical DNA sequences, several hundred nucleotides long, found at either end of transposons and the proviral DNA, formed by reverse transcription of retroviral RNA. They are thought to have an essential role in integrating the transposon or provirus into the host DNA. Long terminal repeats have inverted repeats, that is, sequences close to either end are identical when read in opposite directions. In proviruses the upstream long-terminal repeat acts as a promoter and enhancer and the downstream long-terminal repeat as a polyadenylation site. Acronym: LTR (15 Nov 1997) |
| long terminal repeat sequences | Regions of the RNA genome associated with regulation, integration, and expression of retroviruses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acetabular notch | A gap in the inferior the margin of the acetabulum. Synonym: incisura acetabuli, cotyloid notch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angular notch | A sharp angular depression in the lesser curvature of the stomach at the junction of the body with the pyloric canal. Synonym: incisura angularis, sulcus angularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antegonial notch | The highest point of the notch or concavity of the lower border of the ramus where it joins the body of the mandible. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior cerebellar notch | A wide, shallow notch on the anterior surface of the cerebellum occupied laterally by the superior cerebellar peduncles and the inferior quadrigeminal bodies medially. Synonym: anterior notch of cerebellum, incisura cerebelli anterior, semilunar notch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior notch of cerebellum | A wide, shallow notch on the anterior surface of the cerebellum occupied laterally by the superior cerebellar peduncles and the inferior quadrigeminal bodies medially.
