| tegmental wall of middle ear | The superior wall, or roof, of the tympanic cavity, formed by the tegmen tympani of the temporal bone. Synonym: paries tegmentalis cavi tympani, tegmental wall of middle ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| jugular wall of middle ear | The floor of the tympanic cavity; a thin plate of bone separating the tympanic cavity from the jugular fossa. Synonym: paries jugularis cavi tympani, fundus tympani, inferior wall of tympanic cavity, jugular wall of middle ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| labyrinthine wall of middle ear | A bony layer separating the middle from the internal ear or labyrinth; it contains the fenestra vestibuli and the fenestra cochleae. Synonym: paries labyrinthicus cavi tympani, labyrinthine wall of middle ear, medial wall of middle ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral wall of middle ear | The wall formed mainly by the tympanic membrane. Synonym: paries membranaceus cavi tympani, lateral wall of middle ear, membranous wall of middle ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior cerebral artery | <anatomy, artery> One of the two terminal branches (with middle cerebral artery) of the internal carotid; it passes anterior, loops around the genu of the corpus callosum then posteriorly in the interhemispheric fissure along with its fellow of the opposite side, the two being joined by the anterior communicating artery; for descriptive purposes it is divided into two parts: the precommunical part (A2 segment of clinical terminology), supplying branches to the thalamus and corpus striatum, and the postcommunical part, (A2) or pericallosal artery, supplying branches to the cortex of the medial parts of the frontal and parietal lobes. Synonym: arteria cerebri anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior cerebral vein | <anatomy, vein> A small vein that parallels the anterior cerebral artery and drains into the basal vein. Synonym: vena cerebri anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteries of cerebral haemorrhage | Numerous small branches from the sphenoidal part of the middle cerebral arteries supplying the lateral and anterior parts of the corpus striatum. Synonym: arteriae centrales anterolaterales, arteriae thalamostriatae anterolaterales, anterolateral central arteries, anterolateral striate arteries, anterolateral thalamostriate arteries, arteries of cerebral haemorrhage, lenticulostriate arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglionic layer of cerebral cortex | Layer 5 of the cortex cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malaria, cerebral | A condition that is most commonly seen as a severe complication of malaria, falciparum mainly involving the brain. It has also been reported to occur as a result of infection with other plasmodium species. This disease is often fatal and presents as disturbances in consciousness ranging from somnolence to coma, major motor seizures, and organic psychosis. The onset may be gradual or sudden following a convulsion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ventricle of cerebral hemisphere | A cavity shaped somewhat like a horseshoe in conformity with the general shape of the hemisphere; each lateral ventricle communicates with the third ventricle through the interventricular foramen of Monro, and expands from there forward into the frontal lobe as the anterior horn as well as caudally over the thalamus as the central part or cella media which, behind the thalamus, curves ventrally and laterally, then forward into the temporal lobe as the inferior horn; from the apex of the curve a variably sized posterior horn extends back into the white matter of the occipital lobe. The large choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle invades the cella media and the inferior horn (but not the anterior and posterior horn) from the medial side. Synonym: ventriculus lateralis, ventricle of cerebral hemisphere. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paroxysmal cerebral dysrhythmia | A diffusely abnormal electroencephalogram often seen with epilepsy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial cerebral surface | It faces, above as well as anterior and posterior to the corpus callosum, the falx cerebri; below it are the mesencephalon and the dura-covered medial wall of the middle cranial fossa. Synonym: facies medialis cerebri, medial cerebral surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial surface of cerebral hemisphere | It faces, above as well as anterior and posterior to the corpus callosum, the falx cerebri; below it are the mesencephalon and the dura-covered medial wall of the middle cranial fossa.

| cerebral | <anatomy> Of or pertaining of the cerebrum or the brain. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cerebral agraphia | The inability to express ideas in writing. Synonym: mental agraphia. (05 Mar 2000) |
