| Botallo's foramen | The orifice of communication between the two atria of the foetal heart. See: foramen ovale. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|
| Botallo, Leonardo | <person> Italian physician in Paris, 1530-1600(?). See: Botallo's duct, Botallo's foramen, Botallo's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Botallo's duct | Before birth, the blood headed from the heart (via the pulmonary artery) for the lungs is shunted away from the lungs and returned to the greatest of arteries (the aorta). The shunt is through a short vessel called the ductus arteriosus. When the shunt is open, it is said to be patent (pronounced pa'tent). The patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) usually closes at or shortly after birth and blood is permtted from that moment on to course freely to the lungs. If the ductus stays open (patent), flow reverses and blood from the aorta is shunted into the pulmonary artery and recirculated through the lungs. The PDA may close later spontaneously (on its own) or need to be ligated (tied off) surgically. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Botallo's ligament | The remains of the ductus arteriosus. Synonym: arterial ligament, Botallo's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior condyloid foramen | The canal through which the hypoglossal nerve emerges from the skull. Synonym: canalis hypoglossalis, anterior condyloid canal of occipital bone, anterior condyloid foramen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior palatine foramen | An opening in the posterolateral corner of the hard palate opposite the last molar tooth, marking the lower end of the pterygopalatine canal. Synonym: foramen palatinum majus, anterior palatine foramen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aortic foramen | The opening in the diaphragm bounded by the two crura, the vertebral column, and the median arcuate ligament, through which pass the aorta and thoracic duct. Synonym: hiatus aorticus, aortic foramen, aortic opening. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical dental foramen | The opening at the apex of the root of a tooth that gives passage to the nerve and blood vessels. Synonym: foramen apicis dentis, apical dental foramen, root foramen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical foramen of tooth | The opening at the apex of the root of a tooth that gives passage to the nerve and blood vessels. Synonym: foramen apicis dentis, apical dental foramen, root foramen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arachnoid foramen | The large midline opening in the posterior inferior part of the roof of the fourth ventricle, connecting the ventricle with the cerebellomedullary cistern. Synonym: apertura mediana ventriculi quarti, arachnoid foramen, Magendie's foramen, median aperture of the fourth ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bichat's foramen | <anatomy, vein> An expansion of the subarachnoid space extending forward between the corpus callosum and the thalamus; it encloses the internal cerebral veins which caudally join to form the vena magna cerebri (Galen's vein). Synonym: ambient cistern, Bichat's canal, Bichat's foramen, cistern of great vein of cerebrum, cisterna ambiens, cisterna superioris, cisterna venae magnae cerebri, superior cistern. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blind foramen of frontal bone | <anatomy> Blind or caecal foramen of the frontal bone; the blind foramen formed immediately anterior to the crista galli by a notch at the lower end of the frontal crest and its articulation with the ethmoid bone. It is insignificant postnatally, but gives passage to vessels during development. Synonym: foramen caecum ossis frontalis, blind foramen of frontal bone, caecal foramen of frontal bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blind foramen of the tongue | <anatomy> A median pit on the dorsum of the posterior part of the tongue, from which the limbs of a V-shaped furrow run forward and outward; it is the site of origin of the thyroid gland and subsequent thyroglossal duct in the embryo. Synonym: foramen caecum linguae, blind foramen of the tongue, caecal foramen of the tongue, Morgagni's foramen, pleuroperitoneal foramen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bochdalek's foramen | An opening through the diaphragm, connecting pleural and peritoneal cavities, usually the result of defective development of the pleuroperitoneal membrane in the embryo; if the defect is extensive there may be herniation of digestive organs into the pleural cavity. See: diaphragmatic hernia. Synonym: Bochdalek's foramen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caecal foramen of frontal bone | <anatomy> Blind or caecal foramen of the frontal bone; the blind foramen formed immediately anterior to the crista galli by a notch at the lower end of the frontal crest and its articulation with the ethmoid bone. It is insignificant postnatally, but gives passage to vessels during development. Synonym: foramen caecum ossis frontalis, blind foramen of frontal bone, caecal foramen of frontal bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caecal foramen of the tongue | <anatomy> A median pit on the dorsum of the posterior part of the tongue, from which the limbs of a V-shaped furrow run forward and outward; it is the site of origin of the thyroid gland and subsequent thyroglossal duct in the embryo. Synonym: foramen caecum linguae, blind foramen of the tongue, caecal foramen of the tongue, Morgagni's foramen, pleuroperitoneal foramen. (05 Mar 2000) |
