| velum | A membranous covering, a veil. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| velum interpositum | A double fold of pia mater, enclosing subarachnoid trabeculae, between the fornix above and the epithelial roof of the third ventricle and the thalami below; at each lateral margin is a vascular fringe projecting into the choroidal fissure of the lateral ventricle; on its undersurface are several small vascular projections filling the folds of the ependymal roof of the third ventricle. Synonym: tela choroidea ventriculi tertii, tela choroidea superior, triangular lamella, velum interpositum, velum triangulare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| velum medullare inferius | A thin sheet of white matter, hidden by the cerebellar tonsil, attached along the peduncle of the flocculus and, at and near the midline, to the nodulus of the vermis; it is continuous caudally with the epithelial lamina and choroid plexus of the fourth ventricle. Synonym: velum medullare inferius, posterior medullary velum, Tarin's valve, valvula semilunaris tarini, velum semilunare, velum tarini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| velum medullare superius | The thin layer of white matter stretching between the two superior cerebellar peduncles, forming the roof of the superior recess of the fourth ventricle. Synonym: velum medullare superius, anterior medullary velum, Vieussens' valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| velum palatinum | An alternate term for soft palate, soft palate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| velum pendulum palati | The muscular part of the roof of the mouth. The soft palate is directly behind the hard palate. It lacks bone and so is soft. (12 Dec 1998) |
| velum semilunare | A thin sheet of white matter, hidden by the cerebellar tonsil, attached along the peduncle of the flocculus and, at and near the midline, to the nodulus of the vermis; it is continuous caudally with the epithelial lamina and choroid plexus of the fourth ventricle. Synonym: velum medullare inferius, posterior medullary velum, Tarin's valve, valvula semilunaris tarini, velum semilunare, velum tarini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| velum tarini | A thin sheet of white matter, hidden by the cerebellar tonsil, attached along the peduncle of the flocculus and, at and near the midline, to the nodulus of the vermis; it is continuous caudally with the epithelial lamina and choroid plexus of the fourth ventricle. Synonym: velum medullare inferius, posterior medullary velum, Tarin's valve, valvula semilunaris tarini, velum semilunare, velum tarini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| velum terminale | A thin plate passing upward from the optic chiasm and forming the rostral boundary of the third ventricle; membrane closing the rostral neuropore. Synonym: lamina terminalis cerebri, lamina cinerea, terminal plate, velum terminale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| velum transversum | A fold in the dorsal wall of the embryonic brain at the boundary between the telencephalon and diencephalon. Synonym: velum transversum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| velum triangulare | A double fold of pia mater, enclosing subarachnoid trabeculae, between the fornix above and the epithelial roof of the third ventricle and the thalami below; at each lateral margin is a vascular fringe projecting into the choroidal fissure of the lateral ventricle; on its undersurface are several small vascular projections filling the folds of the ependymal roof of the third ventricle. Synonym: tela choroidea ventriculi tertii, tela choroidea superior, triangular lamella, velum interpositum, velum triangulare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior medullary velum | The thin layer of white matter stretching between the two superior cerebellar peduncles, forming the roof of the superior recess of the fourth ventricle. Synonym: velum medullare superius, anterior medullary velum, Vieussens' valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| posterior medullary velum | A thin sheet of white matter, hidden by the cerebellar tonsil, attached along the peduncle of the flocculus and, at and near the midline, to the nodulus of the vermis; it is continuous caudally with the epithelial lamina and choroid plexus of the fourth ventricle. Synonym: velum medullare inferius, posterior medullary velum, Tarin's valve, valvula semilunaris tarini, velum semilunare, velum tarini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior medullary velum | The thin layer of white matter stretching between the two superior cerebellar peduncles, forming the roof of the superior recess of the fourth ventricle. Synonym: velum medullare superius, anterior medullary velum, Vieussens' valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior medullary velum | A thin sheet of white matter, hidden by the cerebellar tonsil, attached along the peduncle of the flocculus and, at and near the midline, to the nodulus of the vermis; it is continuous caudally with the epithelial lamina and choroid plexus of the fourth ventricle. Synonym: velum medullare inferius, posterior medullary velum, Tarin's valve, valvula semilunaris tarini, velum semilunare, velum tarini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse velum | A fold in the dorsal wall of the embryonic brain at the boundary between the telencephalon and diencephalon. Synonym: velum transversum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frenulum of superior medullary velum | A band passing from the longitudinal groove between the quadrigeminal bodies on to the superior medullary velum. Synonym: frenulum veli medullaris superioris, cerebellar frenulum, frenulum cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
