| The hippocampus, fornix, and mamillary bodies have an integral role in memory and learning. |
|
| Between the two crura of the fornix is a white, triangular lamina, known as the fornical commissure. |
|
| The fornix, mamillary bodies, and part of the anterior commissure can also be seen. |
|
| Axons of neurons in the hippocampus run in a tract called the fornix, which ends on neurons in the mammillary bodies of the hypothalamus. |
|
| The column of the fornix has been divided a short distance above the anterior commissure. |
|
| In the depths of the specimen it is possible to see the inferior surface of the corpus callosum, to which the body of the fornix is firmly attached. |
|
| In order to expose the posterior fornix, either anteversion obtained using the Valchev cannulator is used, or a pad on a mount. |
|
| The ducts from each gland, three to 12 in number, open into the superior conjunctival fornix, or sac. |
|
| It may be useful to suspend the ovaries to the anterior abdominal wall using suture to make exposure of the posterior fornix easier. |
|
| The acute lid swelling may be caused by an external bite, or more commonly a black fly enters the eye and lodges in the upper or lower fornix. |
|
| The choroid plexus of the 3rd ventricle is united with the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle via the choroid fissure between thalamus and fornix. |
|
| Take specimens of the posterior fornix and the endocervical canal for DNA analysis, using cotton-tipped swabs. |
|
| With the cleavage plane identified, the bladder is dissected downwards to the fornix. |
|
| From the fornix, the tears flow down across the eye and into the puncta lacrimalia, small openings at the margin of each eyelid near its inner corner. |
|
| The anterior column of the fornix extends inferiorly to converge upon the anterolateral aspect of the mammillary body. |
|
| Once in your consulting room, test the pH of the inferior fornix with lithmus paper or the pH indicator on a urine dipstix. |
