| Weitbrecht's cord | A slender band extending from the lateral part of the coronoid process of the ulna distad and laterad to the radius immediately distal to the bicipital tuberosity. Synonym: chorda obliqua, oblique cord, round ligament of elbow joint, Weitbrecht's cord, Weitbrecht's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |

| cord | A stack of wood consisting of 128 cubic feet. A cord has standard dimensions of 4' x 4' x 8' including air space and bark. One cord contains about 1.2 BDT. (05 Dec 1998) |
| cord blood | Blood taken post partum from the umbilical cord. (18 Nov 1997) |
| 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 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 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) |
