| pathetic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The trochlear nerve controls an extraocular muscle. Lesions of this nerve will result in rotation of the eyeball upward and outward (and double vision). Synonym: cranial nerve IV. (27 Sep 1997) |
| medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus, passes downward in company with the brachial artery and then the basilic vein, and supplies the skin of the anterior and ulnar surfaces of the forearm. Synonym: nervus cutaneus antebrachii medialis, medial cutaneous nerve of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial anterior thoracic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A nerve that arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus to supply the pectoral muscles; usually pierces pectoralis minor, then continues to supply mainly the sternocostal portion of pectoralis major. Synonym: nervus pectoralis medialis, medial anterior thoracic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| visceral nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A term describing nerves conveying autonomic (general visceral efferent) fibres. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial brachial cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus, unites in the axilla with the lateral cutaneous branch of the second intercostal nerve, and supplies the skin of the medial side of the arm. Synonym: nervus cutaneus brachii medialis, lesser internal cutaneous nerve, medial cutaneous nerve of arm, Wrisberg's nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial calcaneal branches of tibial nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Cutaneous branches of tibial nerve distributed to the inferior and medial heel. Synonym: rami calcanei mediales nervi tibialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial crural cutaneous branches of saphenous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branches of saphenous nerve distributed to the skin of the medial side of the leg. Synonym: rami cutanei cruris mediales nervi sapheni. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial cutaneous nerve of arm | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus, unites in the axilla with the lateral cutaneous branch of the second intercostal nerve, and supplies the skin of the medial side of the arm. Synonym: nervus cutaneus brachii medialis, lesser internal cutaneous nerve, medial cutaneous nerve of arm, Wrisberg's nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial cutaneous nerve of forearm | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus, passes downward in company with the brachial artery and then the basilic vein, and supplies the skin of the anterior and ulnar surfaces of the forearm. Synonym: nervus cutaneus antebrachii medialis, medial cutaneous nerve of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial cutaneous nerve of leg | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the tibial in the popliteal space, passes down the calf between the two heads of the gastrocnemius and unites in the middle of the leg with the communicating branch of the common peroneal to form the sural nerve, distributed to the skin of the distal and lateral surfaces of the leg and ankle. Synonym: nervus cutaneus surae medialis, medial cutaneous nerve of leg, popliteal communicating nerve, tibial communicating nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial dorsal cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The medial terminal branch of the superficial peroneal nerve, supplying the dorsum of the foot and dorsal nerves to the toes (except adjacent sides of great and second toes). Synonym: nervus cutaneus dorsalis medialis, dorsal medial cutaneous nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial nasal branches of anterior ethmoidal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branches of nasociliary nerve distributed to the nasal septum. Synonym: rami nasales mediales nervi ethmoidalis anterioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glossopharyngeal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The glossopharyngeal nerve enervates muscles involved in swallowing and taste. Lesions of the ninth nerve result in difficulty swallowing and disturbance of taste. Synonym: cranial nerve IX. (27 Sep 1997) |
| medial pectoral nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A nerve that arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus to supply the pectoral muscles; usually pierces pectoralis minor, then continues to supply mainly the sternocostal portion of pectoralis major. Synonym: nervus pectoralis medialis, medial anterior thoracic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
