| rami pancreatici | Branches to the pancreas. Nomina Anatomica lists pancreatic branches of 1) splenic artery, rami pancreatici arteriae splenicae; 2) superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries, rami pancreatici arteriae pancreaticoduodenalis superioris. Synonym: rami pancreatici. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| rami pancreatici arteriae pancreaticoduodenalis superioris | Pancreatic branch of superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries. See: pancreatic branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami pancreatici arteriae splenicae | Pancreatic branch splenic artery. See: pancreatic branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus sphincter ductus pancreatici | Smooth muscle sphincter of the main pancreatic duct immediately proximal to the hepatoduodenal, ampulla. Synonym: musculus sphincter ductus pancreatici, pancreatic sphincter, sphincter muscle of pancreatic duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodi lymphatici pancreatici | Nodes draining the body and tail of the pancreas; they are subdivided into two groups: inferior pancreatic lymph nodes (nodi lymphatici pancreatici inferiores ), located along the inferior pancreatic artery; superior pancreatic lymph nodes (nodi lymphatici pancreatici superiores ), located along the splenic artery near the origin of its pancreatic branches. Synonym: nodi lymphatici pancreatici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodi lymphatici pancreatici inferiores | Inferior pancreatic lymph nodes. See: pancreatic lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodi lymphatici pancreatici superiores | Superior pancreatic lymph nodes. See: pancreatic lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus | A standard medical dictionary contains over 13 pages full of entries to the word ramus. Why? because ramus in latin means a branch and all sorts of anatomic items such as blood vessels and nerves quite naturally have branches. So, for example, medicine is plagued with the likes of the ramus acetabularis arteriae circumflexae femoris medialis which is simply the branch of an artery that goes to the acetabulum (the socket) of the hip joint. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ramus acetabularis | An arterial branch that supplies the acetabulum; two arteries, the obturator and the medial femoral circumflex, have such branches. Synonym: ramus acetabularis, acetabular artery, arteria acetabuli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus acromialis arteriae suprascapularis | <anatomy, artery> Branch of suprascapular artery which pierces the origin of the trapezius muscle to run to the acromion; anastomoses, acromial branch of thoracoacromial artery. Synonym: ramus acromialis arteriae suprascapularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus acromialis arteriae thoracoacromialis | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the thoracoacromial artery that runs over the coracoid process and under the deltoid muscle. Synonym: ramus acromialis arteriae thoracoacromialis, acromial artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus alveolaris superior medius nervi infraorbitalis | Synonym: middle superior alveolar branch of infraorbital nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus anastomoticus | The anastomotic branch, a blood vessel that interconnects two neighboring vessels. It should not be used for the nervous system, because there is no analogy between a vascular anastomosing branch and a connection between nerves or their subdivisions. Synonym: ramus anastomoticus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus anastomoticus arteriae meningeae mediae cum lacrimali | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the middle meningeal artery arising in the cranial cavity which runs anteriorly through the superior orbital fissure to anastomose with the lacrimal artery. See: orbital branch of middle meningeal artery. Synonym: ramus anastomoticus arteriae meningeae mediae cum lacrimali. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus anterior | The anterior branch of the following: great auricular nerve lateral cerebral sulcus left and right superior pulmonary veins medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm obturator artery obturator nerve renal artery right branch of portal vein right hepatic duct superior thyroid artery ulnar recurrent artery. Synonym: ramus anterior. (05 May 2002) |
