| plexus mesentericus inferior | An autonomic plexus, derived from the abdominal aortic plexus, surrounding the inferior mesenteric artery and sending branches to the descending colon, sigmoid, and rectum. Synonym: plexus mesentericus inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|
| plexus mesentericus superior | An autonomic plexus, a continuation of the abdominal aortic plexus, sending nerves to the intestines and forming with the vagus the subserous, myenteric, and submucous plexus's; this periarterial plexus is so dense that it results in the appearance of a characteristic perivascular "collar" distinguishing the superior mesenteric artery from the superior mesenteric vein in several imaging modalities such as with ultra sound. Synonym: plexus mesentericus superior. (05 Mar 2000) |

| inferior dental branches of inferior dental plexus | Branches passing from the inferior dental plexus to the roots of the teeth of the lower jaw. Synonym: rami dentales inferiores plexus dentalis inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior gingival branches of inferior dental plexus | Branches of inferior dental plexus to the gingiva of the lower jaw. Synonym: rami gingivales inferiores plexus dentalis inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus dentalis inferior | Formed by branches of the inferior alveolar nerve interlacing before they supply the teeth; it gives off interior dental branches to the teeth and inferior gingival branches to the gums. Synonym: plexus dentalis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus hypogastricus inferior | One of the bilateral autonomic plexus in the pelvis distributed to the pelvic viscera; it receives the hypogastric nerves and the pelvic splanchnic nerves. Synonym: plexus hypogastricus inferior, plexus pelvinus, pelvic plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus thyroideus inferior | An autonomic plexus on the artery of this name, derived from the subclavian plexus. Synonym: plexus thyroideus inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus vesicalis inferior | A venous plexus in the female corresponding to the prostatic venous plexus in the male. Synonym: plexus vesicalis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior dental plexus | Formed by branches of the inferior alveolar nerve interlacing before they supply the teeth; it gives off interior dental branches to the teeth and inferior gingival branches to the gums. Synonym: plexus dentalis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior hypogastric plexus | One of the bilateral autonomic plexus in the pelvis distributed to the pelvic viscera; it receives the hypogastric nerves and the pelvic splanchnic nerves. Synonym: plexus hypogastricus inferior, plexus pelvinus, pelvic plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior mesenteric plexus | An autonomic plexus, derived from the abdominal aortic plexus, surrounding the inferior mesenteric artery and sending branches to the descending colon, sigmoid, and rectum. Synonym: plexus mesentericus inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior thyroid plexus | An autonomic plexus on the artery of this name, derived from the subclavian plexus. Synonym: plexus thyroideus inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior trunk of brachial plexus | The nerve bundle formed by the union of the ventral rami of the eighth cervical and first thoracic nerves; it provides fibres to the posterior and medial cords (fasciculi) of the brachial plexus. Synonym: truncus inferior plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior vesical plexus | A venous plexus in the female corresponding to the prostatic venous plexus in the male. Synonym: plexus vesicalis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| truncus inferior plexus brachialis | The nerve bundle formed by the union of the ventral rami of the eighth cervical and first thoracic nerves; it provides fibres to the posterior and medial cords (fasciculi) of the brachial plexus. Synonym: truncus inferior plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abdominal aortic plexus | <anatomy, neurology> An autonomic plexus surrounding the abdominal aorta, directly continuous with the thoracic aortic plexus above and continued inferior to the bifurcation of the aorta as the superior hypogastric plexus. Synonym: plexus aorticus abdominalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
