| basilar process of occipital bone | The part of the occipital bone that lies anterior to the foramen magnum and joins with the body of the sphenoid bone. Synonym: pars basilaris ossis occipitalis, basal part of occipital bone, basilar apophysis, basilar process of occipital bone, basilar process, basiocciput. (05 Mar 2000) |

| calcarine branch of medial occipital artery | <anatomy, artery> Branch of medial occipital artery which runs in relationship to the calcarine sulcus. Synonym: ramus calcarinus arteriae occipitalis medialis, arteria calcarina, calcarine artery. (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) |
| parieto-occipital | Relating to the parietal and occipital bones or to the parts of the cerebral cortex corresponding thereto. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parieto-occipital artery | <anatomy, artery> The largest cortical branch of the pericallosal artery supplying the medial and superolateral surface of the parietal lobe posterior to the paracentral lobule; rarely does it extend to supply part of the occipital lobe. Synonym: arteria parieto-occipitalis, superior internal parietal artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parieto-occipital fissure | A very deep, almost vertically oriented fissure on the medial surface of the cerebral cortex, marking the border between the parietal lobe and the cuneus of the occipital lobe; its lower part curves forward and fuses with the anterior extent of the calcarine fissure (sulcus calcarinus); the great depth of this combined fissure causes a bulge in the medial wall of the occipital horn of the lateral ventricle, the calcar avis. Synonym: sulcus parieto-occipitalis, fissura parietooccipitalis, parieto-occipital fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parieto-occipital sulcus | A very deep, almost vertically oriented fissure on the medial surface of the cerebral cortex, marking the border between the parietal lobe and the cuneus of the occipital lobe; its lower part curves forward and fuses with the anterior extent of the calcarine fissure (sulcus calcarinus); the great depth of this combined fissure causes a bulge in the medial wall of the occipital horn of the lateral ventricle, the calcar avis. Synonym: sulcus parieto-occipitalis, fissura parietooccipitalis, parieto-occipital fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mastoid border of occipital bone | The margin of the occipital squama that articulates with the temporal bone. Synonym: margo mastoideus squamae occipitalis, mastoid margin of occipital bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mastoid branch of occipital artery | <anatomy, artery> Mastoid branch of occipital artery, passing through the mastoid foramen; distribution, mastoid air cells; anastomosis, middle meningeal artery. Synonym: arteriae occipitalis, ramus mastoideus arteriae occipitalis, mastoid branch of occipital artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mastoid margin of occipital bone | The margin of the occipital squama that articulates with the temporal bone. Synonym: margo mastoideus squamae occipitalis, mastoid margin of occipital bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| masto-occipital | Relating to the mastoid portion of the temporal bone and to the occipital bone, denoting the suture uniting them. Synonym: mastoccipital. (05 Mar 2000) |
| maximum occipital point | The point on the squama of the occipital bone farthest from the glabella. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial occipital artery | <anatomy, artery> One of the terminal branches of the posterior cerebral artery; it is distributed, by several named branches, to the posterior corpus callosum and the medial and superolateral portions of the occipital lobe including the visual cortex. Synonym: arteria occipitalis medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cervico-occipital | Relating to the neck and the occiput. (05 Mar 2000) |
| meningeal branch of occipital artery | <anatomy, artery> One of the variable branches of the occipital artery which may pass through the jugular or parietal foramina or condyloid canal to reach the dura mater and bone of the posterior cranial fossa, as well as the intracranial portions of the caudal four cranial neres. Synonym: ramus meningeus arteriae occipitalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
