A joint, seam, or closure; the place where two bodies, or parts of a body, meet and unite; an interstice, cleft, or juncture.
The point of union between two parts, as the angles of the lips or eyelids, the mandibles of a bird, etc.
The line of junction or cohering face of two carpels, as in the parsnip, caraway, etc.
the angular junction of the eyelids at either corner of the eyes
n. (L. commissura, a joining together) a place of joining or meeting, as where one carpel joins another in the Umbelliferae.
'link' between the two sides of the nervous system, e.g. white commissure of the spinal cord ( Ch. 3), anterior commissure of the brain, corpus callosum ( Ch. 2).
(L. to put or join together): Compact bundles of nerve fibers that cross the midline and interconnect corresponding regions in opposite cerebral hemispheres. The principal commissures are the corpus callosum, anterior and posterior c ommissures.
L. a joining together, from corn-mitto, to bring together. The anterior, posterior, and habenular commissures join two sides of the nervous system.
The hinge where the mandibles meet is called the commissure. In most birds only the lower jaw can move, just like in humans. Some birds can move both mandibles, such as parrots.
line formed by meeting of maxilla and mandible
Any collection of axons that connects one side of the brain with the other; e.g., the anterior commissure [which connects the left and right temporal lobes].
a juncture or seam; in Pellaea, a ±continuous marginal sorus formed when laterally expanded fertile vein endings coalesce.
The fusion point where two valve leaflets meet and anchor to the supporting structures of the heart.
a band of fibers which join corresponding right and left parts of a structure across the median plane.
a join or seam; the interfacing of two fused carpels in an ovary.
The junction of the upper and lower lips at the corner of the mouth.
Base of the bill where the mandibles join. Synonym(s): gape, rictus.
The location on the aortic wall where adjacent cusps of a heart valve meet.
The junction site between adjacent heart valve cusps.
A commissure is the place where two things are joined. The term is used especially in the fields of anatomy and biology.
