| lymphoma, intermediate-grade | One of the three major prognostic groupings for non-hodgkin lymphomas as proposed in the working formulation of the non-hodgkin's lymphoma pathologic classification project sponsored by the national cancer institute (1981). Lymphomas falling within this group have an intermediate survival potential. (12 Dec 1998) |

| anterior tibial node | A small inconstant lymph node in front of the interosseous membrane along the upper part of the anterior tibial vessels. Synonym: nodus tibialis anterior, anterior tibial node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| artery to atrioventricular node | The atrioventricular branches or the nodal branches, the small arteries supplying the atrioventricular node; they usually arise from the right coronary artery where it starts to descend the posterior interventricular sulcus. Synonym: ramus nodi atrioventricularis, atrioventricular nodal branch, branch to atrioventricular node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| artery to the sinuatrial node | Ascending atrial branch, usually (55%) arising from the anterior stem of the right coronary artery (but 35-45% arising from the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery), which runs around the base of the superior vena cava to reach the sinuatrial node. Synonym: ramus nodi sinuatrialis arteriae coronaria dextra, branch to sinuatrial node, sinuatrial nodal branch of right coronary artery, sinuatrial node artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular node | <cardiology> The location in the heart's conduction system, between the atria and the ventricles, which conducts the normal electrical impulse from the atria to the ventricles. (27 Sep 1997) |
| A-V node | <cardiology> The location in the heart's conduction system, between the atria and the ventricles, which conducts the normal electrical impulse from the atria to the ventricles. (27 Sep 1997) |
| axillary node | <anatomy> The lymph nodes in the axilla (underarm) that are cut out and examined during surgery to see if the cancer has spread past the breast. The number of nodes in this area varies. (09 Oct 1997) |
| branch to atrioventricular node | The atrioventricular branches or the nodal branches, the small arteries supplying the atrioventricular node; they usually arise from the right coronary artery where it starts to descend the posterior interventricular sulcus. Synonym: ramus nodi atrioventricularis, atrioventricular nodal branch, branch to atrioventricular node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| branch to sinuatrial node | Ascending atrial branch, usually (55%) arising from the anterior stem of the right coronary artery (but 35-45% arising from the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery), which runs around the base of the superior vena cava to reach the sinuatrial node. Synonym: ramus nodi sinuatrialis arteriae coronaria dextra, branch to sinuatrial node, sinuatrial nodal branch of right coronary artery, sinuatrial node artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| buccal node | One of the chain of facial lymph nodes located superficial to the buccinator muscle. Synonym: nodus buccinatorius, buccinator node, buccal node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malar node | One of the facial lymph nodes located near the zygomatic minor muscle. Synonym: nodus malaris, malar node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ranvier's node | A short interval in the myelin sheath of a nerve fibre, occurring between each two successive segments of the myelin sheath; at the node, the axon is invested only by short, finger-like cytoplasmic processes of the two neighboring Schwann cells or, in the central nervous system, oligodendroglia cells. See: myelin sheath. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Virchow's node | A firm supraclavicular lymph node, especially on the left side, sufficiently enlarged that it is palpable from the cutaneous surface; such a lymph node is so termed because it may be the first recognised presumptive evidence of a malignant neoplasm in one of the viscera. A signal node that is known to contain a metastasis from a malignant neoplasm is sometimes designated by an old eponym, Troisier's ganglion. Synonym: jugular gland, Virchow's node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vital node | A circumscript region in the lower part of the medulla oblongata, near the apex of the calamus scriptorius, interpreted by M. Flourens (1858) as a nerve centre controlling respiration. Synonym: vital knot, vital node. Origin: Fr. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peroneal node | A small inconstant lymph node located along the course of the peroneal vein. Synonym: nodus fibularis, fibular node, peroneal node. (05 Mar 2000) |
