Sentences with PUTAMEN (5)
This is the lenticular nucleus of the corpus striatum, the inner or apical half of which is of a light colour and is called the _globus pallidus_, while the basal half is reader and is known as the _putamen._ External to the putamen is a long narrow strip of grey matter called the _claustrum_, which is sometimes regarded as a third nucleus of the corpus striatum.
Between the putamen and the claustrum is the _external capsule_, which is smaller and of less importance than the internal, while on the lateral side of the claustrum is the white and then the grey matter of the central lobe.
The cerebral hemispheres are also large, owing chiefly to the great size of the _corpora striata_, which already show a differentiation into caudate nucleus, putamen and globus pallidus.
But more commonly only two portions of a drupe are distinguished, and are named, the outer one _Sarcocarp_ or _Exocarp_, for the flesh, the first name referring to the fleshy character, the second to its being an external layer; and _Putamen_ or _Endocarp_, the _Stone_, within.
These layers are well seen in such a fruit as the peach, plum or cherry, where they are separable one from the other; in them the epicarp forms what is commonly called the skin; the mesocarp, much developed, forms the flesh or pulp, and hence has sometimes been called _sarcocarp_; while the endocarp, hardened by the production of woody cells, forms the _stone_ or _putamen_ immediately covering the kernel or seed.
