| SSCCS | slow spinal cord compression syndrome |
| SWIORA | spinal cord injury without radiologic abnormality |
| PSA | parasternal short axis; pleomorphic salivary gland adenoma; polyethylene sulfonic acid; polysacchari... |
| RVG | right ventral glutens [muscle]; right visceral ganglion |
| ventral aortas | The paired vessels ventral to the pharynx, which give rise to the aortic arches. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| ventral border | The ventral or most forward margin of a structure. Synonym: anterior margin, ventral border. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral branch | Rami ventralis See: ventral primary rami of cervical spinal nerves, ventral primary rami of lumbar spinal nerves, ventral primary rami of sacral spinal nerves, ventral primary ramus of spinal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral decubitus | Pressure sores (decubitus ulceration) occurring in ventral locations, such as the abdominal wall or the anterior surface of an extremity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral glands | <entomology> Insect structures that originate from the ectoderm of the ventrocaudal part of the head and serve as a source of ecdysone. Synonym: peritracheal glands, prothoracic glands, thoracic glands, ventral glands. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral hernia | An abdominal incisional hernia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral horn | The anterior or frontal division of the lateral ventricle of the brain, extending forward from Monro's interventricular foramen. See: lateral ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral intermediate nucleus of thalamus | The composite middle third of the ventral nucleus receiving in its various parts distinctive projections from the contralateral half of the cerebellum (by way of the superior cerebellar peduncle) and the ipsilateral globus pallidus; nearly all parts of the nucleus projects to the motor cortex. Synonym: nucleus ventralis intermedius thalami, nucleus ventralis lateralis, ventral lateral nucleus of thalamus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral lateral nucleus of thalamus | The composite middle third of the ventral nucleus receiving in its various parts distinctive projections from the contralateral half of the cerebellum (by way of the superior cerebellar peduncle) and the ipsilateral globus pallidus; nearly all parts of the nucleus projects to the motor cortex. Synonym: nucleus ventralis intermedius thalami, nucleus ventralis lateralis, ventral lateral nucleus of thalamus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral mesogastrium | The primitive midline mesentery extending between future stomach and proximal duodenum and the anterior abdominal wall superior to the umbilicus (umbilical vein). The liver develops within it, and consequently the lesser omentum, coronary and falciform ligaments are derivatives of it. The umbilical vein runs in its caudal free edge, becoming the postnatal round ligament of the liver. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral nervous system defective | <molecular biology> A Drosophila gene encoding an integral membrane glycoprotein related to amyloidogenic glycoprotein. (12 Jan 1998) |
| ventral nucleus of thalamus | A large, complex cell mass the external border of which forms the ventral and much of the lateral boundary, as well as the rostral border, of the thalamus; it can be subdivided into an anterior, intermediate, and posterior part. Synonym: nucleus ventralis thalami. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral nucleus of trapezoid body | A cell group embedded among the fibres of the trapezoid body, the major decussation of the central auditory pathway, in the lower pons. The nucleus receives fibres from the contralateral cochlear nuclei and contributes fibres to the ascending auditory system or lateral lemniscus. Synonym: nucleus ventralis corporis trapezoidei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral pancreas | That portion of the primordium of the pancreas that develops, together with the hepatic diverticulum, as a ventral bud from the foregut endoderm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral part of pons | The large ventral part of the pons occupied by the nuclei pontis, traversed longitudinally by corticopontine, corticobulbar, and corticospinal fibres, and transversely by pontocerebellar fibres. Pontocerebellar fibres converging laterally form the middle cerebellar peduncle or brachium pontis. Synonym: pars ventralis pontis, anterior part of pons, basilar part of pons, pars basilaris pontis.
