| terminal nerves | Delicate plexiform nerve strands passing parallel and medial to the olfactory tracts, distributing peripherally with the olfactory nerves and passing centrally into the anterior perforated substance; they are considered to have an autonomic function but the exact nature of this is unknown. Synonym: terminal nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |

| terminal notch of auricle | A deep notch separating the lamina tragi and cartilage of the external auditory meatus from the main auricular cartilage, the two being connected below by the isthmus. Synonym: incisura terminalis auris, auricular notch. (05 Mar 2000) |

| terminal sinus | Sinus terminalis, the vein bounding the area vasculosa in the blastoderm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| terminal stria | A slender, compact fibre bundle that connects the amygdala (amygdaloid body) with the hypothalamus and other basal forebrain regions. Originating from the amygdala, the bundle passes first caudalward in the roof of the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle; it follows the medial side of the caudate nucleus forward in the floor of the ventricle's central part (or body) until it reaches the interventricular foramen, in the posterior wall of which it curves steeply down to enter the hypothalamus, with fibres passing both rostral and caudal to the anterior commissure. Coursing caudalward in the medial part of the hypothalamus, the bundle terminates in the anterior and ventromedial hypothalamic nuclei. Synonym: stria terminalis, Foville's fasciculus, Tarin's tenia, tenia saemicircularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| terminal sulcus | Sulcus terminalis linguae; a V-shaped groove, with apex pointing backward, on the surface of the tongue, marking the separation between the oral, or horizontal, and the pharyngeal, or vertical, parts, sulcus terminalis atrii dextri; a groove on the surface of the right atrium of the heart, marking the junction of the primitive sinus venosus with the atrium. Synonym: terminal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| terminal thread | A long, slender connective tissue (pia mater) strand extending from the extremity of the medullary cone to the internal aspect of the spinal dural sac (filum terminale internum); stout strands of connective tissue attaching the spinal dural sac to the coccyx (filum terminale externum), commonly called the coccygeal ligament. Synonym: filum terminale, nervus impar, terminal thread. (05 Mar 2000) |
| terminal transferase | <enzyme> An enzyme adds a particular nucleotide to the 3' end of DNAstrands. (09 Oct 1997) |
| terminal transferases | Enzymes that covalently add nucleotides to the 3' end of polynucleic acids; e.g., DNA nucleotidylexotransferase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| terminal vein | <anatomy, vein> A long vein passing forward in the groove between the thalamus and caudate nucleus, covered by the lamina affixa, receiving the transverse caudate veins along its lateral side, and joining at the caudal wall of Monro's foramen with the choroidal vein and vein of septum pellucidum to form the internal cerebral vein. Synonym: vena terminalis, vena thalamostriata superior, terminal vein, vein of corpus striatum. (05 Mar 2000) |
