| perilymphatic duct | A fine canal connecting the perilymphatic space of the cochlea with the subarachnoid space. Synonym: ductus perilymphaticus, aqueductus cochleae, cochlear aqueduct. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| mesonephric duct | A duct in the embryo draining the mesonephric tubules; in the male it becomes the ductus deferens; in the female it becomes vestigial. See: longitudinal duct of epoophoron. Synonym: ductus mesonephricus, wolffian duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right duct of caudate lobe | The bile duct from the right half of the caudate lobe, a tributary to the right hepatic duct. Synonym: ductus lobi caudati dexter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right hepatic duct | The duct that transmits bile to the common hepatic duct from the right half of the liver and the right part of the caudate lobe. Synonym: ductus hepaticus dexter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right lymphatic duct | One of the two terminal lymph vessels, a short trunk, about 2 cm in length, formed by the union of the right jugular lymphatic vessel and vessels from the lymph nodes of the right superior limb, thoracic wall, and both lungs; it lies on the right side of the root of the neck and empties into the right brachiocephalic vein. Synonym: ductus lymphaticus dexter, ductus thoracicus dexter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metanephric duct | The slender tubular portion of the metanephric diverticulum; the primordium of the epithelial lining of the ureter. See: epoophoron, longitudinal duct of epoophoron. (05 Mar 2000) |
| persistent mullerian duct syndrome | <syndrome> Familial disorder with presence of fallopian tube, uterus, and testis in a male. Deficient mullerian inhibitory substance secondary to Sertoli cell defect. Synonym: hernia uteri inguinale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| choledoch duct | <anatomy> A duct that carries bile from the liver and gallbladder to the duodenum (first part of the small intestine). (27 Sep 1997) |
| guttural duct | A tube leading from the tympanic cavity to the nasopharynx; it consists of an osseous (posterolateral) portion at the tympanic end, and a fibrocartilaginous (anteromedial) portion at the pharyngeal end; where the two portions join, in the region of the sphenopetrosal fissure, is the narrowest portion of the tube (isthmus); the auditory tube enables equalization of pressure within the tympanic cavity with ambient air pressure, referred to commonly as "popping of the ears". Synonym: tuba auditiva, tuba auditoria, eustachian tube, guttural duct, otopharyngeal tube, otosalpinx, pharyngotympanic tube, salpinx, tuba acustica, tuba eustachiana, tuba eustachii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cochlear duct | Spiral tube in the bony canal of the cochlea, lying on its outer wall between the scala vestibuli and scala tympani. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Wharton's duct | The duct of the submandibular salivary gland; it opens at the sublingual papilla near the frenulum of the tongue. Synonym: ductus submandibularis, ductus submaxillaris, submaxillary duct, Wharton's duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common bile duct | <anatomy> A duct that carries bile from the liver and gallbladder to the duodenum (first part of the small intestine). (27 Sep 1997) |
| common bile duct calculi | The presence of gallstones in the common bile duct. It is usually the result of passage of gallstones formed in the gallbladder into the common duct. Less commonly, stones form in a duct behind an obstruction caused by a stricture or ampullary stenosis. Stone type helps to determine site of origin: cholesterol or black pigment stones more likely form in the gallbladder, while almost all brown pigment stones in patients from western countries form in the bile ducts. (12 Dec 1998) |
| common bile duct diseases | Diseases of the common bile duct, vater's ampulla, or oddi's sphincter. (12 Dec 1998) |
| common bile duct neoplasms | Neoplasms of the common bile duct including vater's ampulla and oddi's sphincter. (12 Dec 1998) |
