posterior horn

It is also known as the base of the posterior horn.

It has the posterior horn about as long as the anterior one, or even longer.

These are the posterior horns, or dorsal horns.

They have a posterior horn shaped like a shallow S, and have white spiracles along each side outlined in red.

The anterior and posterior horns of both menisci are secured to the tibial plateaus.

Most sphingid larvae however, have fairly smooth posterior horns, possibly with a simple curve, either upward or downward.

In contrast, Acherontia species and certain relatives bear a posterior horn embossed with round projections about the thicker part.

Raphespinal neurons project to enkephalin releasing interneurons in the posterior horn of the spinal cord.

Nuclei of cranial nerves, arcuate nuclei, and posterior horn cells were also affected.

The larvae are stout with a posterior horn, as is typical of larvae of the Sphingidae.

It occupies the medial part of the base of the posterior horn and appears on the transverse section as a well-defined oval area.

Although the structure is named after Zuckerkandl, it was discovered first by Otto Madelung in 1867 as the posterior horn of the thyroid.

When posterior spinal artery syndrome does occur, dorsal columns are damaged and ischemia may spread into the posterior horns.

Once a danger receptor (called 'nociceptor') has been stimulated, the signal travels via the sensory nerve to the posterior horn of the spinal cord.

A dead, or rendered unconscious, animal would not produce the desired effect when posterior horn fibers, responsible for sensation and transfer of noxious signals, are stimulated.

The larger nasal horn is also known as the anterior horn; the smaller posterior horn as the frontal horn.

The anterior horn contains motor neurons that affect the axial muscles while the posterior horn receives information regarding touch and sensation.

The tract begins with first-order neurons, which immediately synapse with second-order neurons in the posterior horn of the spinal column.

It is caused by repeated stimulation of group C peripheral nerve fibers, leading to progressively increasing electrical response in the corresponding spinal cord (posterior horn) neurons.

The posterior and anterior meniscofemoral ligaments stretch from the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus to the medial femoral condyle.

The abnormal venous vasculature in the left occipital lobe extending between the posterior horn of the ventricle and the cortical surface is clearly visible in the venogram.

The native Tswanan name keitloa describes a South African variation of the black rhino in which the posterior horn is equal to or longer than the anterior horn.

The meniscofemoral ligaments attach distally to the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, in a slanting orientation, providing resistance to the tibial posterior drawer (Amis, 2006).

The term posterior horn (also dorsal horn, posterior cornu, dorsal cornu) may refer to either of two separate anatomical structures within the central nervous system:

Anteriorly, the transverse ligament connects the 2 menisci; posteriorly, the meniscofemoral ligament helps stabilize the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus to the femoral condyle.
