aortic glomus

glomus /glo·mus/ (glo´mus) pl. glom´era [L.]

1. a small histologically recognizable body composed of fine arterioles connecting directly with veins, and having a rich nerve supply.

2. a specialized arteriovenous shunt occurring predominantly in the skin of the hands and feet, regulating blood flow and temperature.

glo´mera aor´tica aortic bodies.

glomus caro´ticum carotid body.

choroid glomus , glomus choroi´deum an enlargement of the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle.

coccygeal glomus , glomus coccy´geum a collection of arteriovenous anastomoses near the tip of the coccyx, formed by the middle sacral artery.

jugular glomus , glomus jugula´re tympanic body.

glo·mus (gl

n. pl. glom·er·a (gl

)

1. A small globular body.

2. A small body surrounded by many nerve fibers, consisting of an anastomosis between fine arterioles and veins and functioning as a regulation mechanism in the flow of blood, control of temperature, and conservation of heat in a particular organ or part.
