| deep transitional gyrus | The transverse gyrus of the embryo which in development becomes buried in the depth of the central sulcus of the cerebral hemisphere. Dentate gyrus, one of the two interlocking gyri composing the hippocampus, the other one being the Ammon's horn. Synonym: gyrus dentatus, dentate fascia, fascia dentata hippocampi. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: ligamentum metacarpale transversum profundum, transverse metacarpal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |

| deep transverse muscle of perineum | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, ramus of ischium; insertion, with its fellow in a median raphe; action, assists sphincter urethrae with some sphincteric action on vagina in female; nerve supply, pudendal (dorsal nerve of penis/clitoris). Synonym: musculus transversus perinei profundus, deep transverse muscle of perineum, musculus sphincter vaginae, sphincter vaginae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep transverse perineal | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, ramus of ischium; insertion, with its fellow in a median raphe; action, assists sphincter urethrae with some sphincteric action on vagina in female; nerve supply, pudendal (dorsal nerve of penis/clitoris).

| deep veins of clitoris | The veins that pass from the dorsum of the clitoris to join the vesical plexus. Synonym: venae profundae clitoridis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep vein thrombosis | Blood clotting in the veins of the inner thigh or leg. In air travel, DVT is the economy-class syndrome. Even in young, health travelers the long stretches immobilised in cramped seats in cabins with very low humidity set the stage for the formation of a thrombus (blood clot) in the lower leg. Blood clots can break off (as an embolism) and makes its way to the luhg where it has the potential of causing respiratory distress and respiratory failure. (12 Dec 1998) |
