| sulcus corporis callosi | The fissure between the corpus callosum and the cingulate gyrus. Synonym: sulcus corporis callosi, callosal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus costae | A groove in the lower inner border of the rib, lodging the intercostal vessels and nerve. Synonym: sulcus costae, subcostal groove. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus costae arteriae subclaviae | <anatomy, artery> A groove immediately posterior to the scalene tubercle on the upper surface of the first rib across which the subclavian artery passes. Synonym: sulcus costae arteriae subclaviae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus cruris helicis | A transverse fissure on the cranial surface of the auricle corresponding to the crus of the helix. Synonym: sulcus cruris helicis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| sulcus fimbriodentatus | A shallow groove between the fimbria and the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. Synonym: sulcus fimbriodentatus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus for greater palatine nerve | A groove on both the body of the maxilla and the perpendicular plate of the palatine bone; when the bones are articulated the grooves form the greater palatine canal. Synonym: sulcus palatinus major, pterygopalatine groove, sulcus for greater palatine nerve, sulcus pterygopalatinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus for middle temporal artery | <anatomy, artery> A vertical groove located above the external acoustic meatus on the external surface of the squamous part of the temporal bone. Synonym: sulcus arteriae temporalis mediae, sulcus for middle temporal artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus for transverse sinus | The groove on the inner surface of the occipital bone marking the course of the transverse sinus; the tentorium is attached to its margins. Synonym: sulcus sinus transversi, sulcus for transverse sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus for vena cava | A groove on the posterior surface of the liver between the caudate lobe and the right lobe which gives passage to the inferior vena cava. Synonym: sulcus venae cavae, fossa venae cavae, sulcus for vena cava. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus for vertebral artery | <anatomy, artery> The sulcus on the superior aspect of the posterior arch of the atlas that transmits the vertebral artery medially toward the foramen magnum. Synonym: sulcus arteriae vertebralis, sulcus for vertebral artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus frontalis inferior | A sagittal fissure on the lateral convex surface of each frontal lobe of the cerebrum demarcating the middle from the inferior frontal gyrus. Synonym: sulcus frontalis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus frontalis medius | A relatively shallow sagittal fissure of the brain dividing the middle frontal convolution into an upper and lower part; this sulcus is found only in humans and anthropoid apes; at its anterior extremity it bifurcates, the two branches spreading out laterally and constituting the frontomarginal sulcus. Synonym: median frontal sulcus, sulcus frontalis medius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus frontomarginalis | A relatively shallow sagittal fissure of the brain dividing the middle frontal convolution into an upper and lower part; this sulcus is found only in humans and anthropoid apes; at its anterior extremity it bifurcates, the two branches spreading out laterally and constituting the frontomarginal sulcus. Synonym: median frontal sulcus, sulcus frontalis medius. (05 Mar 2000) |
