parotid |
<anatomy> Situated near the ear; applied especially to the salivary gland near the ear. Of, pertaining to, or in the region of, the parotid gland. <anatomy> Parotid gland, one of the salivary glands situated just in front of or below the ear. It is the largest of the salivary glands in man, and its duct opens into the interior of the mouth opposite the second molar of the upper jaw. Origin: L. Parotis, -idis, Gr,; beside, near +, the ear: cf. F. Parotide. <anatomy> The parotid gland. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
|---|---|
parotid abscess |
Rapidly progressive suppuration in the parotid gland; a complication of parotitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
parotid bed |
The structures which surround and contact the parotid, forming the boundaries of the parotid space: anteriorly, the ramus of the mandible flanked by the masseter and medial pterygoid muscles; medially, the pharyngeal wall, carotid sheath and structures originating from the styloid process; posteriorly, the mastoid process, sternocleidomastoid muscle, and posterior belly of the digastric muscle; superiorly, the temporomandibular joint and the tympanic bone and cartilaginous portion of the external acoustic meatus. (05 Mar 2000) |
parotid branches |
Branches to parotid gland; Nomina Anatomica lists parotid branches of 1) auriculotemporal nerve (rami parotidei nervi auriculotemporalis; 2) facial vein, rami parotidei venae facialis; 3) superficial temporal artery, ramus arteriae temporalis superficialis. Synonym: rami parotidei. (05 Mar 2000) |
parotid duct |
The duct of the parotid gland opening from the cheek into the vestibule of the mouth opposite the neck of the superior second molar tooth. Synonym: ductus parotideus, Blasius' duct, Stensen's duct, Steno's duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
parotid fascia |
The part of the investing cervical fascia that ensheaths the parotid gland and is fixed above to the zygomatic arch. Synonym: fascia parotidea, fibrous capsule of parotid gland, parotid sheath. (05 Mar 2000) |
parotid gland |
<anatomy> A salivary gland situated in front of and below the ear. (27 Sep 1997) |
parotid gland mass |
<radiology> Pleomorphic adenoma, sialocele, adenoid cystic carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, lymphoma, lymph node, abscess, metastasis (12 Dec 1998) |
parotid notch |
The space between the ramus of the mandible and the mastoid process of the temporal bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
parotid papilla |
The projection at the opening of the parotid duct into the vestibule of the mouth opposite the neck of the upper second molar tooth. Synonym: papilla parotidea. (05 Mar 2000) |
parotid recess |
A deep hollow on the side at the sides of the face flanking the posterior aspect of the ramus of the mandible with its attached muscles which is occupied by the parotid gland; it is lined with fascial laminae (the parotid sheath) derived from the investing layer of deep cervical fascia; the structures bounding the space collectively constitute the parotid bed. Surgeons operating in the area take advantage of the fact that the anteroposterior dimensions of the parotid space increase with protrusion of the mandible. Synonym: parotid recess, recessus parotideus. (05 Mar 2000) |
parotid sheath |
The part of the investing cervical fascia that ensheaths the parotid gland and is fixed above to the zygomatic arch. Synonym: fascia parotidea, fibrous capsule of parotid gland, parotid sheath. (05 Mar 2000) |

parotid veins |
Branches draining part of the parotid gland and emptying into the retromandibular vein. Synonym: venae parotidea, posterior parotid veins. (05 Mar 2000) |

Surgical removal of the parotid gland. Origin: parotid + G. Ektome, excision (05 Mar 2000) |
