| abdominovaginal hysterectomy | A combined vaginal and abdominal surgical approach that allows partial or complete removal of vagina, vulva, rectum, and perineum (abdominoperineal approach), as well as pelvic organs; usually done in cases of advanced pelvic cancer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abdominovesical | Relating to the abdomen and urinary bladder, or to the abdomen and gallbladder. Synonym: abdominocystic. (05 Mar 2000) |

| abducens | 1. Abducting; drawing away, especially away from the median plane. Synonym: abducent nerve, abducens. Origin: L. Abducens (05 Mar 2000) |
| abducens eminence | Prominent portion of the medial eminence, just rostral to the medullary striae in the rhomboidal fossa; it is formed by the internal genu of the facial nerve and the abducens nucleus around which the facial fibres curve. Synonym: colliculus facialis, abducens eminence, eminentia abducentis, eminentia facialis, facial eminence, facial hillock. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abducens nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The 6th cranial nerve. The abducens nerve originates in the abducens nucleus of the pons and sends motor fibres to the lateral rectus muscles of the eye. Damage to the nerve or its nucleus disrupts horizontal eye movement control. (12 Dec 1998) |
| abducens nucleus | Nucleus of abducent nervenucleus abducentis, a group of motor neurons in the lower part of the pons, innervating the lateral rectus muscle of the eye; unique among motor cranial nerve nuclei in that it consists of two distinct populations of neurons: neurons that give rise to fibres forming the abducens nerve root and those internuclear neurons whose processes cross the midline, ascend in the opposite medial longitudinal fasciculus, and terminate upon specific oculomotor neurons; considered a primary centre for mechanisms controlling conjugate horizontal gaze. Synonym: nucleus nervi abducentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abducens oculi | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lateral part of the common tendinous ring that bridges superior orbital fissure; insertion, lateral part of sclera of eye; action, abduction; nerve supply, abducens. Synonym: musculus rectus lateralis, abducens oculi, musculus rectus externus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abducent | 1. Abducting; drawing away, especially away from the median plane. Synonym: abducent nerve, abducens. Origin: L. Abducens (05 Mar 2000) |
| abducent nerve | <anatomy> The abducent nerve enervates a muscle which moves the eyeball. Lesions of the sixth cranial nerve result in deviation of the eyeball outward and double vision. Synonym: cranial nerve VI. (27 Sep 1997) |
| abduct | To move away from the median plane. Synonym: abduce. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abduction | <anatomy, neurology> Movement of the limbs toward the lateral plane or away from the body. (11 Mar 1998) |
| abdomen |
The human abdomen (from the Latin word meaning "belly") is the part of the body between the pelvis and the thorax. The front of the abdomen is the abdominal cavity, which is separated from the thoracic cavity by the diaphragm. The lining of the abdomen is called the peritoneum, and the rear part of it is the retroperitoneum. The abdominal wall is the skin, fat, muscle, and lining in the very front of the abdomen. ...

| abdominal aortic aneurysm |
An aortic aneurysm is a general term for any localized dilatation or aneurysm of the aorta, usually representing an underlying weakness in the wall of the aorta at that location. This physical change in the aortic diameter can occur secondary to an intrinsic defect in the protein construction of the aortic wall, trauma, infection, or due to progressive destruction of aortic proteins by enzymes. ...

| abducens |
The sixth out of twelve cranial nerves, the abducens nerve innervates the lateral rectus muscle - this means that the action of this nerve controls each eye's ability to abduct (move away from the midline). The abducens nerve emerges from the ipsilateral abducens nucleus between the caudal pons beneath the floor of the fourth ventricle and the medulla (the pontomedullary junction). ...
