| canalis opticus | The short canal through the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone at the apex of the orbit that gives passage to the optic nerve and the ophthalmic artery. Synonym: canalis opticus, foramen opticum, optic foramen. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|
| axis opticus | The axis of the eye connecting the anterior and posterior poles; it usually diverges from the visual axis by five degrees or more. Synonym: axis opticus. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| recessus opticus | A diverticulum extending forward from the anterior part of the third ventricle above the optic chiasm. Synonym: recessus opticus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| porus opticus | The portion of the optic nerve seen in the fundus with the ophthalmoscope. It is formed by the meeting of all the retinal ganglion cell axons as they enter the optic nerve. Because the retina at the optic disk has no photoreceptors there is a corresponding blind spot in the visual field. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nervus opticus | <anatomy, nerve> The optic nerve. The nerve carrying impulses for the sense of sight. Projection from the vertebrate retina to the midbrain. Embryologically, a CNS tract rather than a peripheral nerve. Popular experimental preparation for studies of regeneration of retino tectal projections in lower vertebrates and also for studies of glial cell lineage in CNS. Synonym: cranial nerve II. (18 Nov 1997) |
| tractus opticus | The continuation of the optic nerve fibres beyond (behind) the latter's hemidecussation in the optic chiasm; each of the two symmetrical optic tracts is composed of fibres originating from the temporal half of the retina of the ipsilateral eye and a nearly equal number of fibres from the nasal half of the contralateral retina; it forms a compact, somewhat flattened fibre band passing caudolaterally alongside the base of the hypothalamus and over the basal surface of the crus cerebri; most of its fibres terminate in the lateral geniculate body; a smaller number of fibres enter the brachium of the superior colliculus, to terminate in the superior colliculus and the pretectal region. Synonym: tractus opticus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria canalis pterygoidei | Usually arises from the third part of the maxillary artery, but frequently from the greater palatine artery, within the pterygopalatine fossa. Passes posteriorly to run through the pterygoid canal with the corresponding nerve, supplying the contents and wall of the canal, the mucous membrane of the upper pharynx, the auditory tube and the tympanic cavity. Synonym: arteria canalis pterygoidei, vidian artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canalis | Synonym: canal. Origin: L. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canalis adductorius | The space in middle third of the thigh between the vastus medialis and adductor muscles, converted into a canal by the overlying sartorius muscle. It gives passage to the femoral vessels and saphenous nerve, ending at the adductor hiatus. Synonym: canalis adductorius, Hunter's canal, subsartorial canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canalis analis | The terminal portion of the alimentary canal; it extends from the pelvic diaphragm to the anal orifice. Synonym: canalis analis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canalis caroticus | A passage through the petrous part of the temporal bone from its inferior surface upward, medially, and forward to the apex where it opens into the foramen lacerum. It transmits the internal carotid artery and plexuses of veins and autonomic nerves. Synonym: canalis caroticus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canalis carpi | The passageway deep to the transverse carpal ligament between tubercles of the scaphoid and trapezoid bones on the radial side and the pisiform and hook of the hamate on the ulnar side, through which the median nerve and the flexor tendons of the fingers and thumb pass; compression of the median nerve may occur here (carpal tunnel syndrome). Synonym: canalis carpi, carpal canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canalis centralis medullae spinalis | The ependyma-lined lumen (cavity) of the neural tube, the cerebral part of which remains patent to form the ventricles of the brain, while the spinal part in the adult often is reduced to a solid strand of modified ependyma. Synonym: canalis centralis medullae spinalis, central canal of spinal cord, tubus medullaris. Synonym: syringocele. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canalis cervicis uteri | A fusiform canal extending from the isthmus of the uterus to the opening of the uterus into the vagina. Synonym: canalis cervicis uteri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canalis condylaris | The inconstant opening through the occipital bone posterior to the condyle on each side that transmits the occipital emissary vein. Synonym: canalis condylaris, posterior condyloid foramen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canalis femoralis | The medial compartment of the femoral sheath. Synonym: canalis femoralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
