| cingulate sulcus | A fissure on the mesial surface of the cerebral hemisphere, bounding the upper surface of the cingulate gyrus (callosal convolution); the anterior portion is called the pars subfrontalis; the posterior portion which curves up to the superomedial margin of the hemisphere and borders the paracentral lobule posteriorly, the pars marginalis.

| cingulotomy | Formerly, a unilateral or bilateral surgical excision of the anterior half of the cingulate gyrus, but now accomplished by electrolytic destruction of the anterior cingulate gyrus and callosum. Synonym: cingulectomy. Origin: cingulum + G. Tome, a cutting (05 Mar 2000) |
| cingulum | Synonym: girdle. 2. A well-marked fibre bundle passing longitudinally in the white matter of the cingulate gyrus; the bundle extends from the region of the anterior perforated substance back over the dorsal surface of the corpus callosum; behind the latter's splenium it curves down and then forward in the white matter of the parahippocampal gyrus; composed largely of fibres from the anterior thalamic nucleus to the cingulate and parahippocampal gyri, it also contains association fibres connecting these gyri with the frontal cortex, and their various subdivisions with each other. Origin: L. Girdle, fr. Cingo, to surround (05 Mar 2000) |
| cingulum dentis | A U-or W-shaped ridge at the base of the lingual surface of the crown of the upper incisors and cuspid teeth, the lateral limbs running for a short distance along the linguoproximal line angles, the central portion just above the gingiva. Synonym: cingulum dentis, basal ridge, lingual lobe. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cingulum membri inferioris | The bony ring formed by the hip bones and the sacrum, to which the lower limbs are attached. Synonym: cingulum membri inferioris. Shoulder girdle, the bony ring, incomplete behind, that serves for the attachment and support of the upper limbs. It is formed by the manubrium sterni, the clavicles, and the scapulae. Synonym: cingulum membri superioris, pectoral girdle, thoracic girdle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cingulum membri superioris | shoulder girdle |
| cingulum of tooth | A U-or W-shaped ridge at the base of the lingual surface of the crown of the upper incisors and cuspid teeth, the lateral limbs running for a short distance along the linguoproximal line angles, the central portion just above the gingiva. Synonym: cingulum dentis, basal ridge, lingual lobe. (05 Mar 2000) |
