| gill | A woody glen; a narrow valley containing a stream. Origin: Icel. Gil. 1. <anatomy> An organ for aquatic respiration; a branchia. "Fishes perform respiration under water by the gills." (Ray) Gills are usually lamellar or filamentous appendages, through which the blood circulates, and in which it is exposed to the action of the air contained in the water. In vertebrates they are appendages of the visceral arches on either side of the neck. In invertebrates they occupy various situations. 2. <botany> The radiating, gill-shaped plates forming the under surface of a mushroom. 3. <zoology> The fleshy flap that hangs below the beak of a fowl; a wattle. 4. The flesh under or about the chin. 5. One of the combs of closely ranged steel pins which divide the ribbons of flax fibre or wool into fewer parallel filaments. [Prob. So called from F. Aiguilles, needles] Gill arches, Gill bars. <anatomy> Horny filaments, or progresses, on the inside of the branchial arches of fishes, which help to prevent solid substances from being carried into gill cavities. Origin: Dan. Giaelle, gelle; akin to Sw. Gal, Icel. Gjolnar gills; cf. AS. Geagl, geahl, jaw. 1. A young woman; a sweetheart; a flirting or wanton girl.

| gill arch skeleton | Cartilages associated with the visceral portion of the embryonic mammalian chondrocranium, representing the gill arch (branchial) skeletons as seen in shark-type fishes; they are the primordia of Meckel's cartilage, the styloid, hyoid, cricoid, thyroid, and arytenoid cartilages, and the auditory ossicles. See: branchial arches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gill clefts | A bilateral series of slitlike openings into the pharynx through which water is drawn by aquatic animals; in the walls of the cleft's are the vascular gill filaments that take up oxygen from the water passing through the cleft's; sometimes loosely applied to the branchial ectodermal grooves of mammalian embryos, which are imperforate, rudimentary homologues of complete gill clefts. Synonym: gill clefts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flirt-gill | A woman of light behavior; a gill-flirt. "You heard him take me up like a flirt-gill." (Beau. & Fl) Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| Broca's pouch | A pear-shaped encapsulated collection of connective tissue and fat in each labium majus. Synonym: Broca's pouch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paracystic pouch | A peritoneal depression formed by the reflection of the peritoneum from the lateral pelvic wall onto the roof of the bladder; in the female, it is the lateral portion of the uterovesical pouch, separated from the pararectal pouch by the broad ligament. Synonym: fossa paravesicalis, paracystic pouch, paravesical pouch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Rathke's pouch | A tubular outgrowth of ectoderm from the stomodeum of the embryo; it grows dorsad toward the infundibular process of the diencephalon, around which it forms a cup-like mass, giving rise to the pars distalis and pars juxtaneuralis of the hypophysis. Synonym: craniopharyngeal canal, hypophyseal pouch, Rathke's diverticulum, Rathke's pocket, Rathke's pouch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Rathke's pouch tumour | <oncology, tumour> A form of primary brain tumour which develops in the pituitary gland. These tumours often secrete increased quantities of pituitary hormones (for example growth hormone) which can result in conditions such as gigantism and acromegaly. They are often benign and rare and comprise less than 5% of childhood brain tumours. Other symptoms include vision changes, headache and weight gain. Treatment often includes a combination of surgery and radiation therapy. (27 Sep 1997) |
| pararectal pouch | A peritoneal depression on either side of the rectum formed by peritoneal (sacrogenital) folds passing from the posterolateral pelvic wall to the central pelvic viscera. The fossa is a lateral extension of the male rectovesical pouch or the female rectouterine pouch. Synonym: pararectal pouch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paravesical pouch | A peritoneal depression formed by the reflection of the peritoneum from the lateral pelvic wall onto the roof of the bladder; in the female, it is the lateral portion of the uterovesical pouch, separated from the pararectal pouch by the broad ligament. Synonym: fossa paravesicalis, paracystic pouch, paravesical pouch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rectouterine pouch | <anatomy> A pocket formed by the deflection of the peritoneum from the rectum to the uterus. Synonym: excavatio rectouterina, cavum douglasi, cul-de-sac, Douglas' cul-de-sac, Douglas' pouch, pouch of Douglas, rectovaginouterine pouch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rectovaginouterine pouch | <anatomy> A pocket formed by the deflection of the peritoneum from the rectum to the uterus. Synonym: excavatio rectouterina, cavum douglasi, cul-de-sac, Douglas' cul-de-sac, Douglas' pouch, pouch of Douglas, rectovaginouterine pouch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rectovesical pouch | A pocket formed by the deflection of the peritoneum from the rectum to the bladder in the male. Synonym: excavatio rectovesicalis, Proust's space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vesicouterine pouch | uterovesical pouch |
| pavlov pouch | at different points along the dogs' digestive tracts, the russian physiologist ivan petrovich pavlov (1848-1936) surgically created pockets ( pavlov pouches ) from which he could obtain secretions, the aim being to study the physiology of the digestive tract. He did so from the salivary glands down to the stomach, liver and pancreas with considerable success and in 1904 (the 4th year it was awarded) he received the nobel prise for his work on the physiology of digestion, through which knowledge on vital aspects of the subject has been transformed and enlarged.
