brachiocephalic
| brachiocephalic trunk | The first and largest artery branching from the aortic arch. It distributes blood to the right side of the head and neck and to the right arm. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|
| brachiocephalic | Relating to both arm and head. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| brachiocephalic arteritis | Giant-cell arteritis seen in older adults; characterised by inflammatory lesions in medium sized arteries, most commonly in the head, neck and/or shoulder girdle area; lesions include fragmented elastin, macrophages, and giant cells. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate is usually markedly elevated. Visual loss can occur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brachiocephalic muscle | In animals, a compound muscle passing from the brachium or humerus to the head and the dorsal cervical raphe; the clavicular insertion or clavicle subdivides the muscle. Synonym: brachiocephalic muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brachiocephalic veins | Large veins on either side of the root of the neck formed by the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. They drain blood from the head, neck, and upper extremities, and unite to form the superior vena cava. (12 Dec 1998) |
| accessory nerve trunk | Part of the accessory nerve formed within the cranial cavity by the union of the cranial and spinal roots, which then divides within the jugular foramen into internal and external branches, the former uniting with the vagus, the latter exiting the foramen as in independent branch which is commonly considered to be the accessory nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bathing trunk nevus | These large pigmented (often hairy) congenital nevi are important because of their increased risk (10 to 15%) of conversion into malignant melanoma. A biopsy can confirm if cells have turned malignant. Any change in a pre-existing nevus should prompt a physician evaluation. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bifurcation of pulmonary trunk | The division of the pulmonary trunk into right and left pulmonary arteries. Synonym: bifurcatio trunci pulmonalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchomediastinal trunk | A lymphatic vessel arising from the union of the efferent lymphatics from the tracheo-bronchial and mediastinal nodes on either side. On the left side, it may be largely replaced by direct drainage into the thoracic duct. Synonym: truncus bronchiomediastinalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vagal trunk | One of the two nerve bundles, anterior and posterior, into which the oesophageal plexus continues as it passes through the diaphragm. Synonym: truncus vagalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| valve of pulmonary trunk | <anatomy, cardiology> The heart valve that divides the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. The pulmonic valve opens when the right ventricle contracts allowing blood to flow into the pulmonary artery. The pulmonic valve on closure prohibits the backwash of unoxygenated blood into the right ventricle. The pulmonic valve has 3 valve cusps. (27 Sep 1997) |
| ganglia of sympathetic trunk | The clusters of postganglionic neurons located at intervals along the sympathetic trunks, including the superior cervical, middle cervical, and cervicothoracic (stellate) ganglion, the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral ganglia, and the ganglion impar. Synonym: ganglia trunci sympathici, paravertebral ganglia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglion of trunk of vagus | <anatomy, nerve> A large sensory ganglion of the vagus, anterior to the internal jugular vein. Synonym: ganglion inferius nervi vagi, ganglion of trunk of vagus, nodose ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gastric branches of anterior vagal trunk | Anterior gastric branches of the vagus; branches of the anterior vagal trunk to the anterior surface of the stomach. Synonym: rami gastrici anteriores nervi vagi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gastric branches of posterior vagal trunk | Posterior gastric branches; branches of the posterior vagal trunk to the posterior surface of the stomach. Synonym: rami gastrici posteriores nervi vagi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle trunk of brachial plexus | The continuation of the ventral ramus of the seventh cervical nerve; it contributes fibres to the posterior and lateral cords (fasciculi) of the brachial plexus. Synonym: truncus medius plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
Synonyms : Arteries, Innominate, Artery, Innominate, Brachiocephalic Trunks, Innominate Arteries, Trunk, Brachiocephalic, Trunks, Brachiocephalic
| brachiocephalic trunk |
first branch of the aortic arch, dividing into the right subclavian artery and right common carotid artery as terminal branches (the left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery arise directly from the aortic arch as its next two consecutive branches). brachiocephalic vein = convergence of the subclavian vein and internal jugular vein. The short right and longer left brachiocephalic veins merge to form the superior vena cava.
