| 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) |
| epilepsy, temporal lobe | Epileptic seizures characterised by simple partial seizures, complex partial seizures, and secondary generalised seizures, or combinations of these. Seizures may present with autonomic and/or psychic symptoms and certain sensory phenomena such as olfactory and auditory. most common is an epigastric rising sensation. Some seizures may begin with motor arrest and continue with oro-alimentary automatisms (with other automatisms following). Attacks are followed by amnesia and recovery is gradual. Usually, there is a history of febrile seizures in the individual or a history of seizures in the family. Seizures occur in clusters, randomly, or at intervals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| first 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) |
| frontal branch of superficial temporal artery | <anatomy, artery> Terminal branch of superficial temporal artery (with parietal branch) supplying anterolateral scalp and underlying musculature, periosteum, and outer table of cranium; anastomosis: across midline with contralateral partner; supratrochlear and supraorbital arteries. Synonym: ramus frontalis arteriae temporalis superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acetabular fossa | A depressed area in the floor of the acetabulum superior to the acetabular notch. Synonym: fossa acetabuli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amygdaloid fossa | The depression between the palatoglossal and palatopharyngeal arches occupied by the palatine tonsil. Synonym: fossa tonsillaris, amygdaloid fossa, sinus tonsillaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anconal fossa | A hollow on the dorsum of the distal end of the humerus, just above the trochlea, in which the olecranon process of the ulna rests when the elbow is extended. Synonym: fossa olecrani, anconal fossa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior cranial fossa | The portion of the internal base of the skull, anterior to the sphenoidal ridges and limbus, in which the frontal lobes of the brain rest. Synonym: fossa cranii anterior, anterior cranial base. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axillary fossa | <anatomy> The underarm area. (16 Dec 1997) |
| Bichat's fossa | Sphenomaxillary fossa, a small pyramidal space, housing the pterygopalatine ganglion, between the pterygoid process, the maxilla, and the palatine bone. Synonym: fossa pterygopalatina, Bichat's fossa, pterygomaxillary fossa, sphenomaxillary fossa. (05 Mar 2000) |
