| fusiform gyrus | An extremely long convolution extending lengthwise over the inferior aspect of the temporal and occipital lobes, demarcated medially by the collateral sulcus from the lingual gyrus and the anterior part of the parahippocampal gyrus, laterally by the inferior temporal sulcus from the inferior temporal gyrus. Synonym: gyrus occipitotemporalis lateralis, gyrus fusiformis, lateral occipitotemporal gyrus, lobulus fusiformis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| lingual gyrus | A relatively short horizontal convolution on the inferomedial aspect of the occipital and temporal lobes, demarcated from the lateral occipitotemporal or fusiform gyrus by the deep collateral sulcus, from the cuneus by the calcarine sulcus; its anterior extreme abuts the isthmus of the parahippocampal gyrus; the medial or upper strip of the gyrus forming the lower bank of the calcarine sulcus corresponds to the inferior half of the striate area or primary visual cortex and represents the contralateral upper quadrant of the binocular field of vision. Synonym: gyrus lingualis, gyrus occipitotemporalis medialis, medial occipitotemporal gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| long gyrus of insula | The most posterior and longest of the slender straight gyri that compose the insula. Synonym: gyrus longus insulae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior auricular branches of superficial temporal artery | <anatomy, artery> Distribution, auricle, earlobe and external acoustic meatus. Synonym: rami auriculares anteriores arteriae temporalis superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior surface of petrous part of temporal bone | The surface of the petrous part of the temporal bone contributing to the floor of the middle cranial fossa. Synonym: facies anterior partis petrosae ossis temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior temporal artery | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the insular part of the middle cerebral artery distributed to the cortex of the anterior part of the temporal lobe. Synonym: arteria temporalis anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apex of petrous part of temporal bone | The irregular antero-medial extremity of the petrous part on which the anterior end of the carotid canal opens. Synonym: apex partis petrosae ossis temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular eminence of temporal bone | Articular eminence of the temporal bone which bounds the mandibular fossa anteriorly; it forms the anterior root of the zygomatic process; it is enclosed by the articular capsule of the temporomandibular joint with the articular fossa; the head of the mandible (and intervening articular disc) move onto the articular tubercle to allow full depression of mandible (opening of mouth). Synonym: tuberculum articulare ossis temporalis, articular eminence of temporal bone, eminentia articularis ossis temporalis, tuber zygomaticum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular fossa of temporal bone | A deep hollow in the squamous portion of the temporal bone at the root of the zygoma, in which rests the condyle of the mandible. Synonym: cavitas glenoidalis, fossa mandibularis, articular fossa of temporal bone, glenoid cavity, glenoid fossa, glenoid surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular surface of temporal bone | The smooth portion of the mandibular articular fossa and eminence of the temporal bone that articulates with the disk of the temporomandibular joint. Synonym: facies articularis ossis temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular tubercle of temporal bone | Articular eminence of the temporal bone which bounds the mandibular fossa anteriorly; it forms the anterior root of the zygomatic process; it is enclosed by the articular capsule of the temporomandibular joint with the articular fossa; the head of the mandible (and intervening articular disc) move onto the articular tubercle to allow full depression of mandible (opening of mouth). Synonym: tuberculum articulare ossis temporalis, articular eminence of temporal bone, eminentia articularis ossis temporalis, tuber zygomaticum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal border of temporal bone | The border of the squamous part of the temporal bone that articulates with the parietal bone. Synonym: margo parietalis ossis temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal branch of superficial temporal artery | <anatomy, artery> Branches coursing in relationship to and/or supplying the parietal lobe of the brain. Synonym: ramus parietalis arteriae temporalis superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mastoid part of the temporal bone | The portion of the petrous part of the temporal bone bearing the mastoid process. Synonym: pars mastoidea ossis temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| groove for middle temporal artery | <anatomy, artery> A vertical groove located above the external acoustic meatus on the external surface of the squamous part of the temporal bone. Synonym: sulcus arteriae temporalis mediae, sulcus for middle temporal artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
