Sclerotome


Definition:

  • (n.) One of the bony, cartilaginous, or membranous partitions which separate the myotomes.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) From the survey of another 21 patients having bony abnormalities at the craniovertebral junction, the first type of arterial anomaly described above was seen in 4 patients and associated with failure of segmentation of the embryonic sclerotome such as occipitalization of the atlas or Klippel-Feil syndrome.

  • (9) The principal link in the formation of the viscero-cutaneous and viscero-sclerotomic sensation syndrome are transitory presynaptic terminals formed by the axons of the vegetative sensor neurons (cells of Dogel type 2) on the surface of the somatic receptor neurons innervating the skin and the sclerotomic tissues, and responding to temperature and pain.
