Clivas - ANS-A bony surface in the posterior skull formed by a portion of the basilar part of the
occipital bone and the upper part by a part of the sphenoid bone.
Coccyx - ANS-The small bone caudel to the sacrum , formed by union of fore rudimentary
vertebrae and forming the caudal extremity of the vertebral column.
Colon - ANS-The portion of the large intestine between the cecum and the rectum.
Coma - ANS-Term used for prolonged state of unconsciousness.
Compartment Synddrome - ANS-A condition in which increased tissue pressure in a confined
anatomical space causes decreased blood glow leading to ischemia and dysfunction of the
contained myoneural elements, marked by pain, muscle weakness, sensory loss and palpable
tenseness in the involved compartment.
Cerebral Concussion - ANS-A form of diffuse brain injury resulting in an immediate but
transient alteration in consciousness.
Condyle - ANS-A rounded projection on a bone.
Contrecoup - ANS-Injury resulting from a blow at another site remote from the direct impact.
,Cerebral Cortical Contusion - ANS-A bruising and bleeding on the brain's surface from
traumatically injured cortical vessels; generally but not always associated with LOC.
Coup Contusion - ANS-Occurs at the point of impact, produced by deformation and inbending
of bone at the point of impact.
Contrecoup Contusion - ANS-A contusion occurring distant from the site of impact by
transmitted force; occurs predominately in the frontal and temporal lobes.
Myocardial Contusion - ANS-Contusion of the heart
Contusion of Spinal Cord - ANS-Organic injury to the cord due to a blow to the vertebral
column, with resultant transient or prolonged dysfunction below the level of the lesion.
Concussion of Spinal Cord - ANS-Contusion of Spinal Cord
Cranium - ANS-The skeleton of the head and includes all the bones of the head except the
mandible or the eight bones which form the calvaria that lodges the brain.
Cystic Duct - ANS-The passage connecting the neck of the gallbladder and the common bile
duct, also called duct of gallbladder.
Decerebration - ANS-A type of abnormal motor movement reflecting brainstem dysfunction,
seen in some comatose patients and characterized by abnormal rigid extension of the
extremities.
Posturing - ANS-Decerebration/Decortification
,Decortification - ANS-A type of abnormal motor movement reflecting cerebral dysfunction,
see in some comatose patients and characterized by abnormal flexion of the upper
extremities.
Deviated Trachea - ANS-Usually means one lung is overexpanded or the other lung has
collapsed
Diaphragm - ANS-The musculomembranous portion separating the abdominal and thoracic
cavities and serving as a major respiratory muscle.
Diaphyseal - ANS-Pertaining to or affecting the shaft of a long bone.
Diastasis - ANS-A form of dislocation in which there is separation of two bones normally
attached to each other without the existence of a true joint, as in separation of the pubic
symphysis.
Dissecting - ANS-To slip between tissue layers, separating the layers instead of destroying them.
Distal - ANS-A comparative term indicating a point, structure or location further from the root or
attachment point.
Duoden;um - ANS-The first or proximal portion of the small intestine, extending from the
pylorus to the jejunum.
Dura - ANS-Outmost, toughest and most fibrous of the three membranes covering the brain and
spinal cord.
Edema - ANS-Presence of abnormally large amounts of fluid in the body tissue.
, Epiphysis - ANS-The terminal ends of long bones.
Esophagus - ANS-The upper part of the alimentary tract extending from the pharynx to the
stomach.
Falx - ANS-A general anatomical term for sickle-shaped organ or structure.
Falx Cerebelli - ANS-The small fold of dura mater in the midline of the posterior cranial fossa,
projecting forward toward the vermis of the cerebellum
Falx Cerebri - ANS-The sickle-shaped fold of dura mater that extends downward in the
longitudinal cerebral fissues and separates the two cerebral hemispheres.
Flank - ANS-The fleshy part of the side between the ribs and the hip.
Fossa - ANS-A trench or channel; a general term for a hollow or depressed area.
Cerebellar Fossa - ANS-Either a pair of depressions in the occipital bone posterior to the
foramen mangnum, separated form one another by the internal occipital crest, that lodge the
hemispheres of the cerebellum.
Cerebral Fossa - ANS-Either of a pair of depressions in the occipital bone, posterior to the
cerebellar fossae, that house the occipital lobes of the cerebrum.
Anterior Cranial Fossa - ANS-The anterior subdivision of the floor of the cranial cavity, housing
the frontal lobes of the brain, and composed of portions of three bones; the ethmoid, frontal
and sphenoid.
