| temporalis | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, temporal fossa; insertion, coronoid process of mandible and anterior border of ramus; action elevates mandible (closes jaw); its posterior, nearly horizontally-oriented fibres are the primary retractors of the protruded mandible. Nerve supply, deep temporal branches of mandibular division of trigeminal. Synonym: musculus temporalis, temporal muscle. Origin: L. (05 Mar 2000) |

| facies temporalis | The surface of a bone which contributes to the temporal fossa, namely, the greater wing of the sphenoid, the squamous part of the temporal, frontal and zygomatic bones. Synonym: facies temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fascia temporalis | The fascia covering the temporal muscle; it is composed of two layers, lamina superficialis and lamina profunda; both attach above to the superior temporal line but diverge inferiorly to attach to the lateral and medial surfaces of the zygomatic arch. Synonym: fascia temporalis, temporal aponeurosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lamina profunda fasciae temporalis | The deep part of the temporal fascia attaching to the medial surface of the zygomatic arch. Synonym: lamina profunda fasciae temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lamina superficialis fasciae temporalis | The superficial part of the temporal fascia attaching to the lateral surface of the zygomatic arch. Synonym: lamina superficialis fasciae temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fossa temporalis | The space on the side of the cranium bounded by the temporal lines and terminating below at the level of the zygomatic arch. Synonym: fossa temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| linea temporalis inferior | The lower of two curved lines on the parietal bone; it marks the outer limit of attachment of the temporalis muscle. Synonym: linea temporalis inferior, temporal ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| linea temporalis superior | The upper of two curved lines on the parietal bone; the temporal fascia is attached to it. Synonym: linea temporalis superior, temporal ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobus temporalis | A lobe of the brain which is located laterally and below the cerebrum. Contains auditory and receptive areas. (27 Sep 1997) |

| margo acetabularis | An alternate term for margin of acetabulum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| margo anterior fibulae | A ridge on the shaft of the fibula to which is attached the anterior intermuscular septum of the leg. Synonym: margo anterior fibulae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| margo anterior pancreatis | The sharp margin between the anterior and inferior surfaces of the pancreas. Synonym: margo anterior pancreatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| margo anterior pulmonis | The thin anteromedial or sternal edge of the lung which overlaps the pericardial sac anteriorly and forms the boundary between the mediastinal and costal surfaces. Synonym: margo anterior pulmonis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| margo anterior radii | The ridge on the shaft of the radius extending from the radial tuberosity to the anterior part of the styloid process. Synonym: margo anterior radii. (05 Mar 2000) |
