coronal section

The landmark that helps you find the amygdala on a coronal section of the brain.

It is a narrow white band, triangular on coronal section, the apex being directed upward.

In a coronal section through the middle of the lentiform nucleus, two medullary laminæ are seen dividing it into three parts.

In the illustration to the right, two coronal sections of the human brain show the location of the basal ganglia components.

As an anatomist he was one of the first to use coronal sections of the brain and to use alcohol to aid dissection.

Coronal section planes thus essentially refer only to the head and brain, where a diadema makes sense, and not to the neck and body below.

Acknowledging the singularity of rostral transverse sections, tradition has introduced a different descriptor for them, namely coronal sections.

The spinous process is long, triangular on coronal section, directed obliquely downward, arising from the lamina and ending in a tuberculated extremity.

When divided horizontally, it exhibits, to some extent, the appearance of a biconvex lens, while a coronal section of its central part presents a somewhat triangular outline.

The concept cannot be applied meaningfully to the brainstem and spinal cord, since there the coronal sections become horizontal to the axial dimension, being parallel to the axis.

A coronal section of the brain confirmed an infarct, tissue death due to lack of oxygen, in the left superior frontal gyrus with the main lesion in the subcortical white matter.

Brains were cut using a cryostat and four to sixteen micron thick coronal sections were thaw-mounted onto either untreated or 0.05% poly-DL-ornithine (Sigma, St. Louis, MO; Catalog No.

The prepuce in both sexes is formed by the growth of a solid plate of ectoderm into the superficial part of the phallus; on coronal section this plate presents the shape of a horseshoe.

According to these considerations, the three directions of space are represented precisely by the sagittal, transverse and horizontal planes, whereas coronal sections can be transverse, oblique or horizontal, depending on how they relate to the brain axis and its incurvations.

The data is supplemented by axial sections of the whole body obtained by computed tomography, axial sections of the head and neck obtained by magnetic resonance imaging, and coronal sections of the rest of the body also obtained by magnetic resonance imaging.
