| 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) |
| alveolobuccal sulcus | The upper and lower half of the buccal vestibule on each side. Synonym: alveolobuccal sulcus, gingivobuccal groove, gingivobuccal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveololabial sulcus | The upper and lower half of the labial vestibule, in the embryo, the groove formed by the deepening of the labial sulcus; its inner wall becomes incorporated with the alveolar process of the mandible or the maxilla, and its outer wall with the lips and cheeks. Synonym: alveololabial sulcus, gingivolabial groove, gingivolabial sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveololingual sulcus | That part of the oral cavity proper, on each side of the frenulum linguae, between the tongue and the mandibular alveolar process or ridge, in the embryo, the groove on each side between the lingual primordium and the alveolar elevations of the mandible. Synonym: alveololingual sulcus, gingivolingual groove, gingivolingual sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ampullary sulcus | The groove on the external surface of the ampulla of each saemicircular duct where the nerve enters the crista ampullaris. Synonym: sulcus ampullaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior intermediate sulcus | A furrow occasionally seen in the adult between the anterior median fissure and the anterior lateral sulcus of the spinal cord but usually present only in the foetus. It indicates the lateral border of the anterior corticospinal fasciculus. Synonym: anterior intermediate groove, sulcus intermedius anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior parolfactory sulcus | A fissure marking the anterior border of the parolfactory area. Synonym: sulcus parolfactorius anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterolateral sulcus | An indistinct furrow on the ventral surface of the spinal cord and medulla oblongata, on either side marking the line of exit of the anterior nerve roots. Synonym: sulcus lateralis anterior, anterolateral groove. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aortic sulcus | A broad deep groove on the medial aspect of the left lung above and behind the hilum receiving the arch of the aorta and the thoracic aorta. Synonym: sulcus aorticus. (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) |
| artery of postcentral sulcus | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the terminal part of the middle cerebral artery distributing to the cortex on either side of the postcentral sulcus. Synonym: arteria sulci postcentralis, artery of postcentral sulcus, postcentral artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
