| inferior gluteal artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, internal iliac; distribution, hip joint and gluteal region; anastomoses, branches of internal pudendal, lateral sacral, superior gluteal, obturator, medial and lateral circumflex femoral. Synonym: arteria glutea inferior, arteria ischiadica, arteria ischiatica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior gluteal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the fifth lumbar and first and second sacral nerves, and supplies the gluteus maximus muscle. It is subject to injury by compression and ischemia in sedentary individuals, resulting in difficulty in rising from a sitting position and difficulty climbing stairs. Synonym: nervus gluteus inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior gluteal veins | The venae comitantes of the inferior gluteal artery uniting at the sciatic foramen to form a common trunk which empties into the internal iliac vein. Synonym: venae gluteae inferiores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermuscular gluteal bursa | <anatomy> Two or three small bursae between the tendon of the gluteus maximus and the linea aspera. Synonym: bursa intermuscularis musculorum gluteorum, intermuscular gluteal bursa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Babes' nodes | Collections of lymphocytes in the central nervous system found in rabies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| big axillary nodes and normal breasts | <radiology> Consider: lymphoma, leukaemia, rheumatoid arthritis (12 Dec 1998) |
| ranvier's nodes | Regularly spaced gaps in the myelin sheaths of peripheral axons. Ranvier's nodes allow saltatory conduction, that is, jumping of impulses from node to node, which is faster and more energetically favourable than continuous conduction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mandibular nodes | One of the facial lymph nodes located by the facial artery near the point it crosses the mandible. Synonym: nodus mandibularis, mandibular nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal nodes | The lymph nodes draining the walls of the abdomen or of the pelvis. Synonym: nodi lymphatici parietales, parietal nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| visceral nodes | The lymph nodes draining the viscera of the abdomen or of the pelvis. Synonym: nodi viscerales, visceral nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retropyloric nodes | A group of lymph nodes located behind the pylorus. Synonym: nodi retropylorici, retropyloric nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| milkers' nodes | An infection of cows' udders by pseudocowpox virus, a member of the Poxviridae, that is transmitted to the fingers and hands of milkers, producing nodules and lymphangitis, and occasionally widespread papular or papulovesicular eruptions; human infection is transferable to uninfected cows. Synonym: milkers' nodes, paravaccinia, pseudocowpox. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Haygarth's nodes | <anatomy> Exostoses from the margins of the articular surfaces and from the periosteum and bone in the neighborhood of the joints of the fingers, leading to ankylosis and associated with lateral deflection of the fingers toward the ulnar side, which occur in rheumatoid arthritis. Synonym: Haygarth's nodosities. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Heberden's nodes | Exostoses about the size of a pea or smaller, found on the terminal phalanges of the fingers in osteoarthritis, which are enlargements of the tubercles at the articular extremities of the distal phalanges. Synonym: Heberden's nodosities, Rosenbach's disease, tuberculum arthriticum. (05 Mar 2000) |
