| olfactory tubercle | A small, oval area at the base of the cerebral hemisphere, between the diverging medial and lateral olfactory striae, in the anteromedial part of the anterior perforated substance; it is formed by a small area of allocortex characterised by the presence of the islands of Calleja. Corresponding to a much more prominent structure in nonprimate mammals (especially rodents and insectivores), the olfactory tubercle receives fibres from the olfactory bulb by way of the intermediate olfactory stria; it has efferent connections with the hypothalamus and the mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus. Synonym: tuberculum olfactorium. (05 Mar 2000) |

| orbital tubercle of zygomatic bone | A small elevation on the orbital surface of the zygomatic bone, just within the orbital margin, about 1 cm below the zygomaticofrontal suture; it gives attachment to the lateral check ligament, the lateral palpebral ligament, and the suspensory ligament of the eyeball. Synonym: eminentia orbitalis ossis zygomatici, orbital eminence of zygomatic bone, Whitnall's tubercle. (05 Mar 2000) |

| tubercle of tooth | A small elevation on some portions of a crown produced by an extra formation of enamel. Synonym: tuberculum dentis, crown tubercle, tubercle of tooth, tuberculum coronae. (05 Mar 2000) |
