| pars centralis | <anatomy, neurology> Pertaining to the brain, cranial nerves and spinal cord. It does not include muscles or peripheral nerves. In invertebrates, the central nervous system is composed of the segmental ganglia of the ventral nerve cord together with the fused ganglia or brain at the anterior end. Acronym: CNS (12 Jan 1998) |
| pars centralis ventriculi lateralis | The body of the lateral ventricle of the brain, extending from the interventricular foramen (of Monro) to the collateral trigone (i.e., junction of posterior and inferior horns). Synonym: cella media. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars ceratopharyngea musculi constrictoris pharyngis medii | See: middle constrictor muscle of pharynx. Synonym: pars ceratopharyngea musculi constrictoris pharyngis medii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars cerebralis arteriae carotidis internae | <anatomy, artery> The portion of the internal carotid artery that supplies the brain; its branches are: superior hypophyseal, clival, ophthalmic, anterior choroidal, anterior cerebral, and middle cerebral. Synonym: pars cerebralis arteriae carotidis internae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars cervicalis arteriae carotidis internae | <anatomy, artery> The unbranched portion located in the neck. Synonym: pars cervicalis arteriae carotidis internae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars cervicalis ductus thoracici | The portion of the thoracic duct above the first rib. Synonym: pars cervicalis ductus thoracici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars cervicalis medullae spinalis | The part of the spinal cord that consists of the eight cervical segments and gives rise to the first eight pairs of spinal nerves. Synonym: pars cervicalis medullae spinalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars cervicalis oesophagi | The part of the oesophagus located in the neck. See: oesophagus. Synonym: pars cervicalis oesophagi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars chondropharyngea musculi constrictoris pharyngea medii | See: middle constrictor muscle of pharynx. Synonym: pars chondropharyngea musculi constrictoris pharyngea medii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars ciliaris retinae | pars ciliaris retinae |
| pars clavicularis musculi pectoralis majoris | pars clavicularis musculi pectoralis majoris, clavicular head of pectoralis major |
| pars coccygea medullae spinalis | The terminal part of the spinal cord consisting of the three coccygeal segments of the spinal cord from which the three pairs of coccygeal nerves originate. Synonym: pars coccygea medullae spinalis, segmenta medullae spinalis coccygea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars cochlearis nervi vestibulocochlearis | <anatomy, nerve> The cochlear part of the acoustic (8th cranial) nerve. The cochlear nerve fibres originate from neurons of the spiral ganglion and project peripherally to cochlear hair cells and centrally to the cochlear nuclei of the brainstem. They mediate the sense of hearing. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pars convoluta lobuli corticalis renis | Proximal and distal convoluted tubules and the associated renal corpuscles supplied by branches of the interlobular arteries. Synonym: labyrinthus, pars convoluta lobuli corticalis renis, labyrinth, Ludwig's labyrinth, renal labyrinth. (05 Mar 2000) |
