|---|---|
| rami cardiaci cervicales superiores nervi vagi | <anatomy, nerve> Uppermost of the branches of vagus nerve conducting presynaptic parasympathetic fibres to, and reflex afferent fibres from, the cardiac plexus; branching from the vagi close to the base of the skull. Synonym: rami cardiaci cervicales superiores nervi vagi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glandulae cervicales uteri | See: anterior cervical lymph nodes, lateral deep cervical lymph nodes, lateral superficial cervical lymph nodes. Branched mucus-secreting glands in the mucosa of the cervix. Synonym: glandulae cervicales uteri, cervical glands of uterus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| regiones cervicales | The topographical subdivisions of the neck. Synonym: regiones cervicales, neck. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervi cervicales | Nerves arising from the cervical segments of the spinal cord. Synonym: nervi cervicales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodi lymphatici cervicales anteriores | The group of lymph nodes located in the anterior region of the neck, divided into superficial and deep groups. Synonym: nodi lymphatici cervicales anteriores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodi lymphatici cervicales anteriores profundi | The lymph nodes near the larynx, trachea, and thyroid gland. Synonym: nodi lymphatici cervicales anteriores profundi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodi lymphatici cervicales anteriores superficiales | The lymph nodes in the subcutaneous tissue of the anterior region of the neck. Synonym: nodi lymphatici cervicales anteriores superficiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodi lymphatici cervicales laterales profundi | The lymph nodes located in the posterior triangle of the neck beneath the deep cervical fascia; they empty into the jugular trunk on the right or left side; the group is subdivided into four smaller chains: anterior jugular lymph nodes, lateral jugular lymph nodes, accessory nerve lymph nodes, and supraclavicular lymph nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici cervicales laterales profundi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodi lymphatici cervicales laterales superficiales | One to four nodes lying along the external jugular vein; they drain the skin and superficial structures over the region of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and send efferent vessels to the deep lateral cervical lymph nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici cervicales laterales superficiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior tubercle of cervical vertebrae | The anterior projection from the transverse process. Synonym: tuberculum anterius vertebrarum cervicalium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arcus vertebrae | The posterior projection from the body of a vertebra that encloses the vertebral foramen; it consists of paired pedicles and laminae; the spinous, transverse, and articular processes arise from the arch. In aggregate, the venous arches-and the ligamenta flava that unite them-form the posterior wall of the vertebral (spinal) canal. Synonym: arcus vertebrae, neural arch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| block vertebrae | Congenitally fused and hypoplastic vertebral bodies which, on radiographs, give the appearance of a more or less solid bony mass. See: Klippel-Feil syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bullet shaped vertebrae | <radiology> Differential diagnosis: Morquio disease, achondroplasia, Hurler disease (12 Dec 1998) |
