| osteocollagenous fibres | Fine collagenous fibre's in the matrix of osseous tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| osteogenetic fibres | The fibre's in the osteogenetic layer of the periosteum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tautomeric fibres | Nerve fibre's of the spinal cord that do not extend beyond the limits of the spinal cord segment in which they originate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thalamocortical fibres | A general term identifying nerve fibres arising from nuclei of the thalamus and projecting to, and terminating in, the cerebral cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| efferent fibres | Those fibres conveying impulses to effector tissues (muscle: smooth, cardiac or striated; or glands) in the periphery; those fibres exiting a specific cell group (i.e., efferent fibres of the basilar pons), used in reference to a cell group. (05 Mar 2000) |
| elastic fibres | Fibre's that are 0.2 to 2 um in diameter but may be larger in some ligaments; they branch and anastomose to form networks and fuse to form fenestrated membranes; the fibre's and membranes consist of microfibrils about 10 nm wide and an amorphous substance containing elastin. Synonym: yellow fibres. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Tomes' fibres | dentinal fibres |
| enamel fibres | The calcified, microscopic rods radiating from the surface of the dentin, forming the substance of the enamel of a tooth. Synonym: enamel fibres, enamel prisms, enamel rods. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endogenous fibres | Nerve fibre's interconnecting subdivisions of the cerebral cortex of the same hemisphere or different segments of the spinal cord on the same side. Synonym: endogenous fibres, intrinsic fibres. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transseptal fibres | Nonelastic fibre's running from tooth to tooth over the crest of the alveolus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse pontine fibres | Fibres arising from the pontine nuclei, decussate and pass into the cerebellum as the middle cerebellar peduncles. Synonym: fibrae pontis transversae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| James fibres | Atrio-His bundle connections thought to be the basis for the short P-R interval syndrome; these fibre's should be distinguished from the internodal tracts of the atrium, sometimes referred to as "James tracts." Synonym: James tracts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| exogenous fibres | Nerve fibre's by which a given region of the central nervous system is connected with other regions; the term applies to both afferent and efferent fibre connections. (05 Mar 2000) |
| external arcuate fibres | They include: 1) dorsal external arcuate fibres that arise from cells in the accessory or lateral cuneate nucleus and pass to the cerebellum; 2) ventral external arcuate fibres that arise from the arcuate nuclei at the base of the medulla oblongata and pass around the lateral surface of the medulla; both enter the cerebellum as components of the restiform portion of the inferior cerebellar peduncle. Synonym: fibrae arcuatae externae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| yellow fibres | Fibre's that are 0.2 to 2 um in diameter but may be larger in some ligaments; they branch and anastomose to form networks and fuse to form fenestrated membranes; the fibre's and membranes consist of microfibrils about 10 nm wide and an amorphous substance containing elastin.
