| cord factor | Glycolipid (trehalose 6, 6' dimycolate) found in the cell walls of Mycobacteria (causing them to grow in serpentine cords) and important in virulence, being toxic and inducing granulomatous reactions identical to those induced by the whole organism. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| cord factors | Trehalose-6,6'-dimycolate. A toxic glycolipid of mycobacterium tuberculosis. Induces cellular biochemical disfunction in animals; used as immunoadjuvant. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cord hydrocele | Isolated hydrocele of spermatic cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cord of tympanum | chorda tympani |
| cornua of spinal cord | The posterior or occipital division of the lateral ventricle of the brain, extending backward into the occipital lobe; the posterior gray column of the spinal cord as appearing in cross section. Synonym: cornu posterius ventriculi lateralis, cornu posterius, cornua of spinal cord, occipital horn. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior column of spinal cord | The pronounced, dorsolaterally oriented ridge of gray matter in each lateral half of the spinal cord, corresponding to the posterior or dorsal horn appearing in transverse sections of the cord. Synonym: columna posterior, dorsal column of spinal cord, posterior column of spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior cord of brachial plexus | In the brachial plexus, the bundle of nerve fibres formed by the posterior divisions of the upper, middle and lower trunks which lies posterior to the axillary artery; it gives rise to the upper and lower subscapular and thoracodorsal nerves, terminates by dividing into the axillary, and radial nerves. Synonym: fasciculus posterior plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior median fissure of spinal cord | A shallow furrow in the median line of the posterior surface of the spinal cord. Synonym: sulcus medianus posterior medullae spinalis, posterior median fissure of spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior median sulcus of spinal cord | A shallow furrow in the median line of the posterior surface of the spinal cord. Synonym: sulcus medianus posterior medullae spinalis, posterior median fissure of spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior white column of the spinal cord | The large wedge-shaped fibre bundle lying between the posterior gray column and the posterior median septum, and composed largely of dorsal root fibres. Synonym: funiculus posterior, dorsal funiculus, funiculus dorsalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sacral part of spinal cord | The part of the cord from which consists of the five sacral segments of the spinal cord (S1-S5) and from which five pairs of sacral nerves originate. Synonym: pars sacralis medullae spinalis, segmenta medullae spinalis sacralia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prolapse of umbilical cord | Presentation of part of the umbilical cord ahead of the foetus; it may cause foetal death due to compression of the cord between the presenting part of the foetus and the maternal pelvis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| psalterial cord | The stratified epithelium lining the upper part of the ligamentum spirale cochleae; it is penetrated by capillaries and is believed to be the site of production of endolymph. Synonym: stria vascularis ductus cochlearis, psalterial cord, vascular stripe. (05 Mar 2000) |
| segments of spinal cord | Portions of the spinal cord corresponding to the line of attachment of the roots of the individual spinal nerves. These are the cervical spinal cord segments [C1-C8]; the thoracic spinal cord segments [T1-T12]; the lumbar spinal cord segments Origin: L1-L5]; the sacral spinal cord segments [S1-S5]; and the coccygeal spinal cord segments [Co1-Co3]. Synonym: segmenta medullae spinalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sex cord-stromal tumour | A malignant neoplasm of the ovary or testis. These tumours differentiate toward sex cords (in embryonic gonads) in the form of female (i.e., granulosa and theca) cells, male (i.e., sertoli and leydig) cells, or indifferent elements. In the ovary, sex cord-stromal tumours comprise 5% of all ovarian neoplasms. In the testes, leydig and sertoli cell tumours comprise about 5% of all testicular neoplasms, 10% of which behave in a malignant fashion. (12 Dec 1998) |
