| terminal nuclei | Nuclei terminales, collective term indicating those nerve cell groups in the rhombencephalon and spinal cord in which the afferent fibres of the spinal and cranial nerves terminate. Synonym: nuclei terminationis, secondary sensory nuclei. (05 Mar 2000) |

| thalamic nuclei | Several groups of nuclei in the thalamus that serve as the major relay centres for sensory impulses in the brain. (12 Dec 1998) |
| trigeminal nuclei | Nuclei of the trigeminal nerve situated in the brainstem. They include the nucleus of the spinal trigeminal tract (trigeminal nucleus, spinal), the principal sensory nucleus, the mesencephalic nucleus, and the motor nucleus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tuberal nuclei | Two or three small, encapsulated, round or ovoid clusters of cells in the lateral hypothalamic area along the surface of the tuber cinereum; their connections and functional significance are unknown. Synonym: nuclei tuberales, lateral tuberal nuclei. (05 Mar 2000) |

| lateral tuberal nuclei | Two or three small, encapsulated, round or ovoid clusters of cells in the lateral hypothalamic area along the surface of the tuber cinereum; their connections and functional significance are unknown. Synonym: nuclei tuberales, lateral tuberal nuclei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| CS2 secondary alkylsulfohydrolase | <enzyme> From comamonas terrigena Registry number: EC 3.1.6.- Synonym: cs2 sa sulfohydrolase (26 Jun 1999) |
| protein structure, secondary | The stage in the development of protein structure in which regular hydrogen-bond interactions within contiguous stretches of polypeptide chain give rise to alpha helices and beta sheets. This is the first folding level of protein building. (12 Dec 1998) |
| secondary | Second or inferior in order of time, place or importance, derived from or consequent to a primary event or thing. Origin: L. Secundarius, secundus = second (18 Nov 1997) |
