|---|---|
| central sulcus | A double-S-shaped fissure extending obliquely upward and backward on the lateral surface of each cerebral hemisphere at the boundary between frontal and parietal lobes. Synonym: sulcus centralis, fissure of Rolando. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vomeral sulcus | The groove on the anterior border of the vomer that receives the septal cartilage. Synonym: sulcus vomeralis, sulcus vomeris, vomeral sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mentolabial sulcus | The indistinct line separating the lower lip from the chin. Synonym: mentolabial furrow, sulcus mentolabialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| periconchal sulcus | The depression on the medial surface of the auricle that corresponds to the anthelix. Synonym: fossa anthelicis, periconchal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rhinal sulcus | The shallow rostral continuation of the collateral sulcus that delimits the rostral part of the parahippocampal gyrus from the fusiform or lateral occipitotemporal gyrus. One of the oldest sulci of the pallium, it marks the border between the neocortex and the allocortical (olfactory). Synonym: sulcus rhinalis, rhinal fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chiasmatic sulcus | The groove on the upper surface of the sphenoid bone running transversely between the optic canals bounded anteriorly by the sphenoidal limbus and posteriorly by the tuberculum sellae; forms in relationship to the optic chiasm. Synonym: sulcus prechiasmatis, chiasmatic sulcus, optic groove, prechiasmatic sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cingulate sulcus | A fissure on the mesial surface of the cerebral hemisphere, bounding the upper surface of the cingulate gyrus (callosal convolution); the anterior portion is called the pars subfrontalis; the posterior portion which curves up to the superomedial margin of the hemisphere and borders the paracentral lobule posteriorly, the pars marginalis. Synonym: sulcus cinguli, callosomarginal fissure, callosomarginal sulcus, sulcus callosomarginalis, sulcus of cingulum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circular sulcus of insula | A saemicircular fissure demarcating the insula from the opercula above, below, and behind. Synonym: sulcus circularis insulae, circular sulcus of Reil, limiting sulcus of Reil. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circular sulcus of Reil | A saemicircular fissure demarcating the insula from the opercula above, below, and behind. Synonym: sulcus circularis insulae, circular sulcus of Reil, limiting sulcus of Reil. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle frontal sulcus | A relatively shallow sagittal fissure of the brain dividing the middle frontal convolution into an upper and lower part; this sulcus is found only in humans and anthropoid apes; at its anterior extremity it bifurcates, the two branches spreading out laterally and constituting the frontomarginal sulcus. Synonym: median frontal sulcus, sulcus frontalis medius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle temporal sulcus | The sulcus between the middle temporal gyrus and inferior temporal gyrus. Synonym: sulcus temporalis medius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| collateral sulcus | A long, deep sagittal fissure on the undersurface of the temporal lobe, marking the border between the fusiform gyrus laterally and the hippocampal and lingual gyri medially; the great depth of the collateral sulcus results in a bulging of the floor of the occipital and temporal horn of the lateral ventricle, the collateral eminence. Synonym: sulcus collateralis, sulcus occipitotemporalis, collateral fissure, fissura collateralis, occipitotemporal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Monro's sulcus | A groove in the lateral wall of the third ventricle on either side leading from the interventricular foramen to the aditus ad aqueductum cerebri; the sulcus-demarcated boundary between dorsal thalamus and hypothalamus. Synonym: sulcus hypothalamicus, Monro's sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary sulcus | A groove on the outer surface of the heart marking the division between the atria and the ventricles. Synonym: sulcus coronarius, atrioventricular groove, atrioventricular sulcus, auriculoventricular groove, coronary sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
