| superior temporal convolution | A longitudinal gyrus on the lateral surface of the temporal lobe between the lateral (sylvian) fissure and the superior temporal sulcus. Synonym: gyrus temporalis superior, first temporal convolution, superior temporal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior temporal fissure | The longitudinal sulcus that separates the superior and middle temporal gyri. Synonym: sulcus temporalis superior, superior temporal fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior temporal gyrus | A longitudinal gyrus on the lateral surface of the temporal lobe between the lateral (sylvian) fissure and the superior temporal sulcus. Synonym: gyrus temporalis superior, first temporal convolution, superior temporal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior temporal line | 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) |
| superior temporal sulcus | The longitudinal sulcus that separates the superior and middle temporal gyri. Synonym: sulcus temporalis superior, superior temporal fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior temporal venule of retina | The venule that passes from the upper lateral (temporal) part of the retina to join the central vein. Synonym: venula temporalis retinae superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep temporal artery | <anatomy, artery> Deep temporal artery, two in number, anterior and posterior; origin, maxillary; distribution, temporal muscle and periosteum, bone and diploe of temporal fossa; anastomoses, branches of superficial temporal, lacrimal, and middle meningeal. Synonym: arteria temporalis profunda. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep temporal nerves | Two branches, anterior and posterior, from the mandibular nerve, supplying the temporalis muscle and periosteum of the temporal fossa. Synonym: nervi temporales profundi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep temporal veins | Veins corresponding to the arteries of the same name; they empty into the pterygoid venous plexus. Synonym: venae temporales profundae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior surface of petrous part of temporal bone | Inferior surface of petrous part of the temporal bone; the portion of the petrous part of the temporal bone that contributes to the external base of the skull. Synonym: facies inferior partis petrosae ossis temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior temporal arteriole of retina | The branch of the central artery of the retina that passes laterally below the macula to supply the lower lateral or temporal part of the retina. Synonym: arteriola temporalis retinae inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior 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) |
| inferior temporal gyrus | 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) |
| inferior temporal line | 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) |
