| papilla nervi optici | The portion of the optic nerve seen in the fundus with the ophthalmoscope. It is formed by the meeting of all the retinal ganglion cell axons as they enter the optic nerve. Because the retina at the optic disk has no photoreceptors there is a corresponding blind spot in the visual field. (12 Dec 1998) |

| ramus profundus nervi plantaris lateralis | <anatomy, nerve> Motor branch of lateral plantar nerve supplying lumbricals 2-4, plantar and dorsal interossei, and the adductor hallucis muscles. Synonym: ramus profundus nervi plantaris lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus profundus nervi radialis | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the median arising in elbow region, running on interosseous membrane, supplying the flexor pollicis longus, part of flexor digitorum profundus and the pronator quadratus muscles, as well as radiocarpal and intercarpal joints. Synonym: nervus interosseus anterior, ramus profundus nervi radialis, nervus antebrachii anterior, anterior antebrachial nerve, volar interosseous nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus profundus nervi ulnaris | <anatomy, nerve> Accompanies deep palmar branch of ulnar artery and deep palmar arch to supply wrist joint, lumbricals 3 & 4, palmar and dorsal interossei adductor pollicis and deep head of flexor pollicis brevis muscles. Synonym: ramus profundus nervi ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus renalis nervi splanchnici minoris | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of lesser splanchnic nerve to the aorticorenal plexus/ganglion. Synonym: ramus renalis nervi splanchnici minoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus stylohyoideus nervi facialis | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of facial nerve to stylohyoid muscle. Synonym: ramus stylohyoideus nervi facialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus superficialis nervi plantaris lateralis | <anatomy, nerve> Mostly cutaneous branch to skin of small and lateral half of fourth toes and lateral side of sole of foot, but also supplies the flexor digiti minimi brevis muscle and the most lateral dorsal and plantar interosseous muscles. Synonym: ramus superficialis nervi plantaris lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus superficialis nervi radialis | <anatomy, nerve> Cutaneous terminal branch (with deep branch) which runs under cover of brachioradialis muscle to wrist, then supplies skin of proximal portion of the dorsal aspects of thumb, index, middle and lateral half of ring fingers and the portion of the dorsum of the hand located proximally. Synonym: ramus superficialis nervi radialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus superficialis nervi ulnaris | <anatomy, nerve> Branch supplying skin of palmar aspect of little and medial half of ring fingers, the portion of the palm proximal to them and the palmaris brevis muscle. Synonym: ramus superficialis nervi ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus superior nervi oculomotorii | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of oculomotor nerve supplying the superior rectus and levator palpebrae superioris muscles. Synonym: ramus superior nervi oculomotorii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus superior nervi transversalis cervicalis | <anatomy, nerve> Branch providing cutaneous innervation in upper part of anterior triangle of neck. Synonym: ramus superior nervi transversalis cervicalis (colli). (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena comitans nervi hypoglossi | Runs with the hypoglossal nerve below and lateral to the hyoglossus muscle, emptying usually into the lingual vein. Synonym: accompanying vein of hypoglossal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus ulnaris nervi cutanei antebrachii medialis | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve supplying the skin of the medial portion of the proximal two-thirds of the dorsal side of the forearm. Synonym: ramus ulnaris nervi cutanei antebrachii medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus ventralis nervi spinalis | <anatomy, nerve> The larger, anterolaterally-directed major terminal branch (with the dorsal primary ramus) of all 31 pairs of mixed spinal nerves, formed at the intervertebral foramen. Most ventral primary rami, especially those involved in the innervation of the limbs, participate in the formation of the major nerve plexuses (cervical, brachial, and lumbosacral) and lose their identities. Most in the thoracic region, however, remain separate from adjacent rami to become the intercostal and subcostal nerves. Ventral primary rami provide innervation to the anterolateral body wall and trunk. Nomina Anatomica lists ventral primary rami as "rami ventrales" for each group of spinal nerves: 1) cervical (nervorum cervicalium ), 2) thoracic (nervorum thoracicorum ), 3) lumbar (nervorum lumbalium ), 4) sacral (nervorum sacralium )m, and 5) coccygeal (nervi coccygei ). Synonym: ramus ventralis nervi spinalis, anterior primary division. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus zygomaticofacialis nervi zygomatici | <anatomy, nerve> Penetrates zygomatic bone to supply skin of face over zygoma or cheekbone. Synonym: ramus zygomaticofacialis nervi zygomatici. (05 Mar 2000) |
