| superior dental nerves | Three branches (posterior, middle, and anterior) of the maxillary nerve (or its continuation as the infraorbital nerve) that enter the maxilla to supply the mucosa of the maxillary sinus, upper teeth and gingiva.

| superior alveolar nerves | Three branches (posterior, middle, and anterior) of the maxillary nerve (or its continuation as the infraorbital nerve) that enter the maxilla to supply the mucosa of the maxillary sinus, upper teeth and gingiva. Synonym: nervi alveolares superiores, superior dental nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior cluneal nerves | Terminal branches of the dorsal primary rami of the lumbar nerves, supplying the skin of the upper half of the gluteal region. Synonym: nervi clunium superiores. (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) |
| anterior superior dental arteries | Origin, infraorbital artery within intraorbital canal; distribution, via anterior alveolar canals to upper incisors and canine teeth, mucus membrane of maxillary sinus. Synonym: arteriae alveolares superiores anteriores, anterior superior dental arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior dental arch | The teeth supported by the alveolar process of the two maxillae, whether the 10 deciduous teeth or the 16 permanent teeth. Synonym: arcus dentalis superior, maxillary dentition. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior dental plexus | Formed by branches of the infraorbital nerve, it gives off superior dental branches to the upper and superior gingival branches to the gums. Synonym: plexus dentalis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior dental rami | Superior dental branches of superior dental plexus. Synonym: rami dentales superiores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior branch of the superior gluteal artery | <anatomy, artery> Runs between gluteus medius and minimus muscles, supplying both, and continuing to reach tensor fascia lata muscle. Synonym: ramus superior arteriae gluteae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior lingular branch of lingular branch of superior lobar left pulmonary artery | <anatomy, artery> Branch (of the lingular branch) of the left pulmonary artery serving the superior lingular segment of the superior lobe of the left lung. Synonym: ramus lingularis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abdominopelvic splanchnic nerves | Visceral branches of the sympathetic trunks conveying presynaptic sympathetic fibres to and visceral afferent fibres from the prevertebral ganglia and para-aortic/hypogastric plexuses for the innervation of viscera located below the diaphragm. The greater, lesser, lowest, lumbar, and sacral splanchnic nerves belong to this group. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accelerator nerves | Certain of the cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves establishing the sympathetic innervation of the heart; originating from ganglion cells of the superior, middle, and inferior cervical ganglion of the sympathetic trunk, the unmyelinated efferent fibres of the accelerator nerve's stimulate an increase in the heart rate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory phrenic nerves | Accessory nerve strands that arise from the fifth cervical nerve, often as branches of the nerve to the subclavius, passing downward to join the phrenic nerve. Synonym: nervi phrenici accessorii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anococcygeal nerves | Several small nerves arising from the coccygeal plexus, supplying the skin over the coccyx. Synonym: nervi anococcygei. (05 Mar 2000) |
