| intermediate sacral crests | Crests formed by the fusion of articular processes of all the sacral vertebrae. Synonym: articular crests, cristae sacrales intermediae. (05 Mar 2000) |

| intermediate species | <chemistry> Species formed in a reaction consisting of more than one step. An intermediate is produced in one reaction and consumed in the following reaction. (09 Jan 1998) |
| intermediate supraclavicular nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of several nerves arising from the C-3-C-4 part of the cervical plexus which run across the top of the shoulder and pass down across the clavicle to supply the skin of the top of the shoulder and in the infraclavicular region. Synonym: nervus supraclavicularis intermedius, middle supraclavicular nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermediate temporal artery | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the insular part of the middle cerebral artery supplying the cortex of the temporal lobe between the anterior and posterior temporal arteries. Synonym: arteria temporalis intermedia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermediate trait | A measurable trait in which there is some evidence of the operation of a simple major cause, but in which the variation within the putative categories is such as to cause overlap and hence ambiguity in classification of any particular reading. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermediate uveitis | A uveitis that is neither anterior nor posterior but tends to involve the pars plana and the ciliary body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermediate variable | A variable in a causal pathway that causes variation in the dependent variable and is itself caused to vary by the independent variable. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermediate vastus muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, upper three-fourths of anterior surface of shaft of femur; insertion, tibial tuberosity by way of common tendon of quadriceps femoris and patellar ligament; action, extends leg; nerve supply, femoral. Synonym: musculus vastus intermedius, crureus, femoral muscle, intermediate great muscle, intermediate vastus muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermediate vein of forearm | It begins at the base of the dorsum of the thumb, curves around the radial side, ascends the middle of the forearm, and just below the bend of the elbow divides into the intermediate basilic and intermediate cephalic veins; sometimes it divides lower down, one branch going to the basilic vein, the other to the intermediate vein of the elbow. Synonym: vena intermedia antebrachii, intermediate antebrachial vein, intermediate vein of forearm, median vein of forearm, vena mediana antebrachii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transition state intermediate | In a chemical reaction, an unstable and high-energy configuration assumed by reactants on the way to making products. Enzymes are thought to bindand stabilise the transition state, thus lowering the energy of activation needed to drive the reaction to completion. (09 Oct 1997) |
| uveitis, intermediate | Inflammation of the pars plana, ciliary body, and adjacent structures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
| ala central lobule | The lateral winglike projection of the central lobule of the cerebellum. Synonym: ala lobuli centralis, ala cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior central convolution | Bounded posteriorly by the central sulcus and anteriorly by the precentral sulcus. Synonym: gyrus precentralis, anterior central convolution, anterior central gyrus, ascending frontal convolution, ascending frontal gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior central gyrus | Bounded posteriorly by the central sulcus and anteriorly by the precentral sulcus. Synonym: gyrus precentralis, anterior central convolution, anterior central gyrus, ascending frontal convolution, ascending frontal gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
