| middle ear mass | <radiology> Glomus tumour (multiple in 10%; 8% malignant), glomus tympanicum, from cochlear promontory, seldom erodes bone, glomus jugulare, invasion of middle ear from below, destruction of bony roof of jugular fossa and bony spur separating vein from carotid artery, abberant carotid artery (no bony margin), enlarged jugular bulb (dehiscent bony covering), cholesteatoma, rhabdomyosarcoma (orbit greater than nasopharynx greater than ear), adenocarcinoma (rare) (12 Dec 1998) |
| middle ear ventilation | Ventilation of the middle ear in the treatment of secretory (serous) otitis media, usually by placement of tubes or grommets which pierce the tympanic membrane. (12 Dec 1998) |
| middle east | The countries of southwest asia and northeastern africa usually considered as extending from libya on the west to afghanistan on the east. (12 Dec 1998) |
| middle ethmoidal air cells | The middle group of air cells of the ethmoidal sinus's; each sinus communicates with the middle meatus of the nasal cavity. Synonym: sinus ethmoidales mediae, cellulae mediae, middle cells, middle ethmoidal sinuses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle ethmoidal sinuses | The middle group of air cells of the ethmoidal sinus's; each sinus communicates with the middle meatus of the nasal cavity. Synonym: sinus ethmoidales mediae, cellulae mediae, middle cells, middle ethmoidal sinuses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle finger | Third finger. Synonym: digitus medius, digitus tertius, third finger. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle frontal convolution | A convolution on the convexity of each frontal lobe of the cerebrum running in an anteroposterior direction between the superior and inferior frontal sulci. Synonym: gyrus frontalis medius, middle frontal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle frontal gyrus | A convolution on the convexity of each frontal lobe of the cerebrum running in an anteroposterior direction between the superior and inferior frontal sulci. Synonym: gyrus frontalis medius, middle frontal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle frontal sulcus | 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) |
| middle genicular artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, popliteal; distribution, synovial membrane and cruciate ligaments of knee joint. Synonym: arteria genus media, arteria articularis azygos. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle glossoepiglottic fold | <anatomy> A fold of mucous membrane in the midline that extends from the back of the tongue to the epiglottis, forming the medial boundary of the epiglottic valleculae. Synonym: plica glossoepiglottica mediana, frenulum epiglottidis, middle glossoepiglottic fold. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle gray layer of superior colliculus | See: gray layer of superior colliculus. Molecular layer, term applied to any layer of brain tissue that contains few nerve-cell bodies and is composed largely of terminal arborizations of dendrites and axons; notable examples are the superficial layer (first layer) of the cerebral cortex and the molecular layer of cerebellum. Synonym: plexiform layer, stratum moleculare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle group of mesenteric lymph nodes | The mesenteric lymph nodes located along the intestinal (jejunal and ileal) branches of the superior mesenteric artery. Synonym: nodi lymphatici superiores centrales, central mesenteric lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle haemorrhoidal artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, internal iliac; distribution, middle portion of rectum; anastomoses, inferior rectal and superior rectal. Because the latter is a tributary of the portal system, this is a portosystemic or portocaval anastomosis. Synonym: arteria rectalis media, middle haemorrhoidal artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
