| ganglion of intermediate nerve | The sensory ganglion of the facial (7th cranial) nerve. The geniculate ganglion cells send central processes to the brainstem and peripheral processes to the taste buds in the anterior tongue, the soft palate, and the skin of the external auditory meatus and the mastoid process. (12 Dec 1998) |
| intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The lateral terminal branch of the superficial peroneal nerve, supplying the dorsum of the foot and dorsal nerves to the toes (except for adjacent parts of great and second toes). Synonym: nervus cutaneus dorsalis intermedius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermediate nerve | A root of the facial nerve containing sensory fibres for taste from the anterior 2/3 of tongue whose cell bodies are located in the geniculate ganglion and presynaptic parasympathetic autonomic fibres whose cell bodies are located in the superior salivatory nucleus, i.e., the fibres eventually conveyed via the chorda tympani branch of the facial nerve to the lingual nerve. Synonym: intermediary nerve, intermediate nerve, portio intermedia, Wrisberg's nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| greater supraclavicular fossa | The triangle bounded by the clavicle, the omohyoid muscle, and the sternocleidomastoid muscle; it contains the subclavian artery and vein. Synonym: fossa supraclavicularis major, trigonum omoclaviculare, greater supraclavicular fossa, omoclavicular triangle, subclavian triangle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| supraclavicular | <anatomy> Situated above the clavicle. Of or pertaining to the supraclavicle. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| supraclavicular lymph nodes | The portion of the inferior deep cervical group located between the inferior belly of the omohyoid muscle and the clavicle; afferent vessels come from adjacent regions including the mediastinum; efferent vessels terminate in the subclavian trunk. Synonym: nodi lymphatici supraclaviculares. (05 Mar 2000) |
| supraclavicular muscle | <anatomy> An anomalous muscular slip running from the upper edge of the manubrium of the sternum lateralward to about the middle of the upper surface of the clavicle. Synonym: musculus supraclavicularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| supraclavicular nodes | <anatomy> The nodes located above the collar bone in the area of the neck. (09 Oct 1997) |
