| ileocaecal valve | The bilabial prominence of the terminal ileum into the large intestine at the caecocolic junction as seen in cadavers; in the living individual it appears as a truncated cone with a star-shaped orifice. Synonym: valva ileocaecalis, Bauhin's valve, ileocaecal eminence, ileocolic valve, Tulp's valve, Tulpius' valve, valve of Varolius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ileocolic valve | The bilabial prominence of the terminal ileum into the large intestine at the caecocolic junction as seen in cadavers; in the living individual it appears as a truncated cone with a star-shaped orifice. Synonym: valva ileocaecalis, Bauhin's valve, ileocaecal eminence, ileocolic valve, Tulp's valve, Tulpius' valve, valve of Varolius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| O'Beirne's valve | <anatomy> A circular band of muscular fibres at the recto sigmoid junction. Synonym: O'Beirne's sphincter, O'Beirne's valve, pelvirectal sphincter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Tarin's valve | A thin sheet of white matter, hidden by the cerebellar tonsil, attached along the peduncle of the flocculus and, at and near the midline, to the nodulus of the vermis; it is continuous caudally with the epithelial lamina and choroid plexus of the fourth ventricle. Synonym: velum medullare inferius, posterior medullary velum, Tarin's valve, valvula semilunaris tarini, velum semilunare, velum tarini. (05 Mar 2000) |

| thebesian valve | A delicate fold of endocardium at the opening of the coronary sinus into the right atrium. Synonym: valvula sinus coronarii, coronary valve, thebesian valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tilting disc valve | A variety of prosthetic cardiac valve composed of one or two discs within a retaining device. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tilting disc valve prosthesis | A low profile artificial heart valve with excellent flow characteristics. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tissue valve | A prosthetic cardiac valve derived from the pig heart, which is preserved and sterilised with glutaraldehyde, and permanently sutured to a shape-retaining artificial strut; in appropriate sizes, it can replace any natural heart valve. Synonym: porcine valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tricuspid valve | <anatomy> This heart valve, named for its three cusps (leaflets), divides the right atrium and the right ventricle. When the right atrium contracts blood flows through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. On closure, the tricuspid prohibits the backflow of blood into the right atrium. (19 Jan 1998) |
| tricuspid valve insufficiency | Backflow of blood from the right ventricle into the right atrium, owing to imperfect functioning of the tricuspid valve. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tricuspid valve prolapse | Abnormal protrusion of one or more of the leaflets of the tricuspid valve into the right atrium during systole. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tricuspid valve stenosis | The pathologic narrowing of the orifice of the tricuspid valve. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Tulpius' valve | The bilabial prominence of the terminal ileum into the large intestine at the caecocolic junction as seen in cadavers; in the living individual it appears as a truncated cone with a star-shaped orifice. Synonym: valva ileocaecalis, Bauhin's valve, ileocaecal eminence, ileocolic valve, Tulp's valve, Tulpius' valve, valve of Varolius. (05 Mar 2000) |
