| temporal plane | A slightly depressed area on the side of the cranium, below the inferior temporal line, formed by the temporal and parietal bones, the greater wing of the sphenoid, and a part of the frontal bone. Synonym: planum temporale. (05 Mar 2000) |

| temporal pole | The most prominent part of the anterior extremity of the temporal lobe of each cerebral hemisphere, a short distance below the fissure of Sylvius. Synonym: polus temporalis cerebri, temporal pole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| temporal pole of cerebrum | The most prominent part of the anterior extremity of the temporal lobe of each cerebral hemisphere, a short distance below the fissure of Sylvius. Synonym: polus temporalis cerebri, temporal pole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| temporal process | The posterior projection of the zygomatic bone articulating with the zygomatic process of the temporal bone to form the zygomatic arch. Synonym: processus temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| temporal region of head | The surface region of the head corresponding approximately to the outlines of the temporal bone. Synonym: regio temporalis capitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| temporal ridge | inferior temporal line, superior temporal line |
| temporal sensing | <technique> Mechanism of gradient sensing in which the value of some environmental property is compared with the value at some previous time, the cell having moved position between the two samplings. Initial movement is random, until the second observation is made the gradient cannot be detected. See spatial and pseudospatial sensing mechanisms. Bacterial chemotaxis (so called) is based on this mechanism. (18 Nov 1997) |
| temporal squama | The broad, flat, thin (scale-like) anterior and superior portion of the temporal bone forming part of the lateral wall of the cranial vault. Synonym: pars squamosa ossis temporalis, squama temporalis, temporal squama. (05 Mar 2000) |
| temporal surface | 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) |
| temporal veins | See: middle temporal vein, deep temporal veins, superficial temporal veins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| temporal venules of retina | See: inferior temporal venule of retina, superior temporal venule of retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| third temporal convolution | A sagittal convolution on the inferolateral border of the temporal lobe of the cerebrum, separated from the middle temporal gyrus by the inferior temporal sulcus. On the inferior surface of the temporal lobe it is separated from the medial occipitotemporal gyrus by the occipitotemporal sulcus. It includes the lateral occipitotemporal gyrus. Synonym: gyrus temporalis inferior, inferior temporal convolution, third temporal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse temporal convolutions | Two or three convolutions running transversely on the upper surface of the temporal lobe bordering on the lateral (sylvian) fissure, separated from each other by the transverse temporal sulci. Synonym: gyri temporales transversi, Heschl's gyri, transverse temporal convolutions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse temporal gyri | Two or three convolutions running transversely on the upper surface of the temporal lobe bordering on the lateral (sylvian) fissure, separated from each other by the transverse temporal sulci. Synonym: gyri temporales transversi, Heschl's gyri, transverse temporal convolutions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse temporal sulci | The shallow sulci that demarcate the transverse temporal gyri on the opercular surface of the superior temporal gyrus. Synonym: sulci temporales transversi. (05 Mar 2000) |
