The border groove (lat. Sulcus Limitans) is an anatomical formation that is found in several areas:
-
A pair of longitudinal depressions on the inner surface of the lateral wall of the neural tube, dividing it into alar (dorsolateral) and basal (ventrolateral) plates.
-
A pair of depressions in the rhomboid fossa, limiting the medial eminence from the outside.
-
A linear depression on the outer surface of the right atrium, corresponding to the border ridge on its inner surface.
-
A transverse depression on the back of the tongue that separates its body and root.
Thus, the border fissure performs a delimiting function in various anatomical structures - from the brain to the tongue. It allows you to divide large formations into smaller components.
Border groove 1) (sulcus limitans, pna, bna, jna; lne) is a paired longitudinal depression on the inner surface of the lateral wall of the neural tube, which divides it into the alar (dorsolateral) and basal (ventrolateral) plates.
-
The border groove of the rhomboid fossa (sulcus limitans, PNA, BNA, JNA) is a paired depression in the rhomboid fossa, limiting the medial eminence from the outside.
-
The border groove of the right atrium (sulcus terminalis, PNA) is a linear depression on the outer surface of the right atrium, corresponding to the border ridge on its inner surface.
-
The border groove of the tongue (sulcus terminalis, PNA, BNA, JNA) is a transverse depression on the back of the tongue, separating its body and root.
