0 any part of the body that is shaped like a horn (= a hard curved part on the heads of some animals) --
In the thoracic region, the postero-lateral part of the anterior column projects laterally as a triangular field, which is named the lateral column (columna lateralis; lateral cornu).
Diverging from one another, each curves around the posterior end of the thalamus, and passes downward and forward into the inferior cornu of the lateral ventricle.
It arises from the oblique line on the lamina of the thyroid cartilage, and is inserted into the lower border of the greater cornu of the hyoid bone.
Above this the forceps posterior of the corpus callosum, sweeping around to enter the occipital lobe, causes another projection, termed the bulb of the posterior cornu.
The "cornu" may be difficult to distinguish from the buccina.
This was of similar construction to the "cornu" and was also played with a cup-shaped mouthpiece, but it had a narrower, more cylindrical bore.
In court, they shout terms such as posterior cornu and hippocampus minor.
Its shape was straight, in contrast to the military "buccina" or "cornu", which was more like the modern sousaphone in curving around the body.
