| venae hepaticae sinistrae | Veins draining the lateral segments [II & III] of the left lobe of the liver which join to form a single or paired trunk of variable size which usually (90% of the time) merges with that formed by the middle hepatic veins prior to entering the terminal portion of the superior vena cava.

Synonym: venae hepaticae mediae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus apicoposterior venae pulmonalis sinistrae superioris | <anatomy, vein> Drains apicoposterior bronchopulmonary segment of superior lobe of left lung. Synonym: ramus apicoposterior venae pulmonalis sinistrae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus superior venae pulmonalis dextrae/sinistrae inferioris | Tributaries of the right and left inferior pulmonary veins which receive oxygenated blood from the superior [S6] bronchopulmonary segments of the inferior lobes of the right and left lungs. Synonym: ramus superior venae pulmonalis dextrae/sinistrae inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plica venae cavae sinistrae | A pericardial fold lying between the left oblique vein of the atrium and the left superior pulmonary vein containing the obliterated remains of the left superior vena cava. Synonym: plica venae cavae sinistrae, Marshall's vestigial fold, vestigial fold. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum venae cavae sinistrae | The obliterated left common cardinal vein; it extends from the left brachiocephalic vein to the oblique vein of the left atrium. Synonym: ligamentum venae cavae sinistrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus dexter arteriae hepaticae propriae | <anatomy, artery> Right branch of proper hepatic artery; terminal branch of proper hepatic artery supplying right lobe of liver; branch: cystic artery. Synonym: ramus dexter arteriae hepaticae propriae, right branch of proper hepatic artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus sinister arteriae hepaticae propriae | <anatomy, artery> Left branch of proper hepatic artery; terminal branch off proper hepatic artery supplying left lobe of the liver. Synonym: ramus sinister arteriae hepaticae propriae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami oesophageales arteriae gastricae sinistrae | <anatomy, artery> Ascends through oesophageal hiatus of diaphragm to supply lowermost (cardiac) oesophagus; anastomosis: oesophageal branches of thoracic aorta. Synonym: rami oesophageales arteriae gastricae sinistrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus circumflexus arteriae coronariae sinistrae | <anatomy, artery> Terminal branch (with anterior interventricular artery) of left coronary artery which runs to left and then posteriorly in the coronary groove supplying atrial and ventricular branches. Synonym: ramus circumflexus arteriae coronariae sinistrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus interventricularis anterior arteriae coronariae sinistrae | <anatomy, artery> Anterior interventricular branch of left coronary artery. Terminal branch (with circumflex coronary artery) of left coronary artery; descends in anterior interventricular groove to apex, anastomosing with posterior interventricular artery. Supplies most of sternal aspect of ventricles and anterior two-thirds of interventricular septum, including atrioventricular bundle of conducting tissue. Synonym: ramus interventricularis anterior arteriae coronariae sinistrae, anterior descending artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus lateralis interventricularis anterioris arteriae coronariae sinistrae | Lateral branch of anterior interventricular artery. See: lateral branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cuspis anterior valvae atrioventricularis dextrae/sinistrae | The anterior leaflet or valvule of either the tricuspid or mitral valves. Synonym: cuspis anterior valvae atrioventricularis dextrae/sinistrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
