posterior horn[pä¦stir·ē·ər hȯrn] (neuroscience) The dorsal column of gray matter in the spinal cord containing the axons of sensory (afferent) neurons. posterior horn
pos·te·ri·or horn1. the occipital or posterior division of the lateral ventricle of the brain, extending backward into the occipital lobe; See also: posterior column. 2. the posterior horn or gray column of the spinal cord as appearing in cross section. The posterior horn [TA] or dorsal horn [TAalt] contains spinal laminae I-VI [TA] of Rexed. The nuclei of the posterior horn are the marginal nucleus [TA] (nucleus marginalis [TA]), gelatinous substance [TA] (substantia gelatinosa [TA]), nucleus proprius [TA], secondary visceral grey substance [TA] (substantia visceralis secundaria [TA]), internal basilar nucleus [TA] (nucleus basilar internus [TA]), medial cervical nucleus [TA] (nucleus cervicalis medialis [TA]), posterior nucleus of lateral funiculus [TA] (nucleus posterior funiculi lateralis [TA]), and the lateral cervical nucleus. Synonym(s): cornu posterius ventriculi lateralis [TA], cornu posterius [TA], occipital horn [TA], cornu of spinal cordpos·te·ri·or horn (pos-tēr'ē-ŏr hōrn) The posterior or occipital division of the lateral ventricle of the brain, extending backward into the occipital lobe; the posterior gray column of the spinal cord as it appears in cross section. Synonym(s): cornu posterius. horn (horn) A cutaneous outgrowth composed chiefly of keratin; a hornlike projection. Synonym: cornuhorn of AmmonHippocampus.anterior horn The main column of neuron cell bodies and unmyelinated cell processes ( gray matter) running through the ventral quadrant of each half of the spinal cord. In stained cross-sections of spinal cord, the gray matter forms the rough shape of a butterfly; the anterior horns are the lower wings. Synonym: ventral horn See: spinal cordcicatricial hornA cutaneous horn originating in scar tissue. cutaneous hornA hard, horny outgrowth from the skin. It is slow-growing, benign, and may be small or large, 10 to 12 cm, in diameter. dorsal hornThe main column of neuron cell bodies and unmyelinated cell processes (ie, gray matter) running through the dorsal quadrant of each half of the spinal cord. In stained cross-sections of spinal cord, the gray matter forms the rough shape of a butterfly; the dorsal horns are the upper wings. Synonym: posterior horn See: spinal cord intermediolateral hornLateral horn.lateral hornA column of neuron cell bodies and unmyelinated cell processes (ie, gray matter) running through the lateral quadrant of spinal cord segments C8–L2 In stained cross-sections of spinal cord, the lateral horns form a small bulge of gray matter between the dorsal and ventral horns. The lateral horns contain the preganglionic cell bodies of the sympathetic nervous system. Synonym: intermediolateral horn; intermediolateral cell column; zona intermedia See: spinal cordposterior horn Dorsal horn.sebaceous hornA hard protrusion from a sebaceous gland. uterine hornEither of the two upper corners of the uterus into which the uterine tubes enter.ventral hornAnterior horn.warty hornA hard outgrowth from a wart. |
