| fissure sign | In perfusion scintigraphy of the lungs, decreased uptake of radionuclide in the periphery of each lobe, making the fissures visible; caused by a variety of diseases and artifacts. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| lateral cerebral fissure | The deepest and most prominent of the cortical fissures, extending from the anterior perforated substance first laterally at the deep incisure between the frontal and temporal lobes, then back and slightly upward over the lateral aspect of the cerebral hemisphere, with the superior temporal gyrus as its lower bank, the insula forming its greatly expanded floor. Two short side branches, the ramus anterior and ramus ascendens, divide the inferior frontal gyrus into an orbital part, triangular part, and opercular part. Synonym: sulcus lateralis cerebri, fissura cerebri lateralis, lateral cerebral fissure, sylvian fissure, fissure of Sylvius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left sagittal fissure | A sagittal groove on the undersurface of the liver formed by the fissura ligamenti teretis anteriorly and the fissura ligamenti venosi posteriorly. (05 Mar 2000) |
| linguogingival fissure | A fissure sometimes occurring on the lingual surface of one of the upper incisors and extending into the cementum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| longitudinal fissure of cerebrum | The deep cleft separating the two hemispheres of the cerebrum. Synonym: fissura longitudinalis cerebri, great longitudinal fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lunate fissure | A small, inconstant semilunar groove on the cortical convexity near the occipital pole, marking the anterior border of the striate cortex (area 17) and considered homologous with the major sulcus of the same name that is a more constant feature of the cerebral cortex in monkeys and apes. Synonym: sulcus lunatus cerebri, ape fissure, lunate fissure, lunate sulcus, simian fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ala central lobule | The lateral winglike projection of the central lobule of the cerebellum. Synonym: ala lobuli centralis, ala cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior central convolution | Bounded posteriorly by the central sulcus and anteriorly by the precentral sulcus. Synonym: gyrus precentralis, anterior central convolution, anterior central gyrus, ascending frontal convolution, ascending frontal gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior central gyrus | Bounded posteriorly by the central sulcus and anteriorly by the precentral sulcus. Synonym: gyrus precentralis, anterior central convolution, anterior central gyrus, ascending frontal convolution, ascending frontal gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterolateral central arteries | Numerous small branches from the sphenoidal part of the middle cerebral arteries supplying the lateral and anterior parts of the corpus striatum. Synonym: arteriae centrales anterolaterales, arteriae thalamostriatae anterolaterales, anterolateral central arteries, anterolateral striate arteries, anterolateral thalamostriate arteries, arteries of cerebral haemorrhage, lenticulostriate arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anteromedial central arteries | Several small branches of the precommunical part of the anterior cerebral artery; they are distributed to the anteromedial part of the corpus striatum part of the thalamus. Synonym: arteriae centrales anteromediales, arteriae thalamostriatae anteromediales, anteromedial thalamostriate arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anteromedial central branches | Branches of the anterior communicating artery which supply part of the hypothalamus. Synonym: rami centrales anteromediales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| artery of central sulcus | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the terminal part of the middle cerebral artery distributed to the cortex on either side of the central sulcus. Synonym: arteria sulci centralis, artery of central sulcus, central artery, Rolandic artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| asia, central | The geographical area of asia comprising kazakhstan, kyrgyzstan, tajikistan, turkmenistan, and uzbekistan. The desert region of kara kum (qara qum) is largely in turkmenistan and the desert region of kyzyl kum (kizil kum or qizil qum), is in uzbekistan and kazakhstan. (12 Dec 1998) |
| auditory diseases, central | Diseases of the auditory pathways from the bulbar cochlear nuclei to the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe. Structures involved include the medial and lateral lemnisci, inferior colliculus, and the medial geniculate nucleus. (12 Dec 1998) |
