| lambdoid border of occipital bone | <anatomy> The margin of the occipital squama that articulates with the parietal bones in the lambdoid suture. Synonym: margo lambdoideus squamae occipitalis, lambdoid margin of occipital bone. (05 Mar 2000) |

| lambdoid margin of occipital bone | <anatomy> The margin of the occipital squama that articulates with the parietal bones in the lambdoid suture. Synonym: margo lambdoideus squamae occipitalis, lambdoid margin of occipital bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral occipital artery | <anatomy, artery> One of the terminal branches of the posterior cerebral artery; it supplies, by several named branches, the lateral portions of the temporal lobe. Synonym: arteria occipitalis lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral occipital sulcus | One of several variable sulci on the lateral aspect of the occipital lobe of each cerebral hemisphere, bounding the lateral occipital convolutions. Synonym: sulcus occipitalis lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral part of occipital bone | The part of the occipital bone that lies on either side of the foramen magnum. Synonym: pars lateralis ossis occipitalis, exoccipital bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fronto-occipital | Relating to the frontal and the occipital bones, or to the forehead and the occiput. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fronto-occipital fasciculus | A bundle of association fibres extending from the frontal to the occipital lobes of the cerebrum. Synonym: fasciculus occipitofrontalis, fronto-occipital fasciculus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lesser occipital nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the ventral primary rami of the second and third cervical nerves; supplies the skin of the posterior surface of the auricle and the adjacent portion of the scalp. Posterior to the auricle. Synonym: nervus occipitalis minor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abdominal internal oblique muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, iliac fascia deep to lateral part of inguinal ligament, anterior half of crest of ilium, and lumbar fascia; insertion, tenth to twelfth ribs and sheath of rectus; some of the fibres from inguinal ligament terminate in the conjoint tendon; action, diminishes capacity of abdomen, flexes lumbar vertebral column (bends thorax forward); nerve supply, lower thoracic. Synonym: musculus obliquus internus abdominis, abdominal internal oblique muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior intercostal branches of internal thoracic artery | One of the arteries supplying the anterior portions of the intercostal spaces of the thoracic wall. Anterior intercostal arteries 1-6 arise as branches of the internal thoracic artery; 7-11 arise as branches of the musculophrenic artery. Synonym: rami intercostales anteriores, rami intercostalis anteriores arteria thoracica interna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior limb of internal capsule | The portion of the internal capsule between the head of the caudate nucleus and the putamen; it lies anterior to the genu of the internal capsule. Synonym: crus anterius capsulae internae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aponeurosis of internal abdominal oblique muscle | <anatomy> Broad, flat tendinous portion of the internal abdominal oblique muscle. The fleshy fibres of the muscle end in the aponeurosis lateral to the semilunar line. The uppermost portion of the aponeurosis is attached to the outer surfaces and lower borders of the seventh to ninth costal cartilages. Of the portion extending between the costoxiphoid margin and the pubis, the upper two-thirds splits into anterior and posterior laminae at the lateral border of the rectus abdominis muscle to contribute to the anterior and posterior walls of the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle as they extend to the midline linea alba. The lower third of the aponeurosis does not split but joins the aponeuroses of the external abdominal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles to form the anterior wall of the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle. The fibres of the portion of the aponeurosis contributing to the rectus sheath decussate with those of the contralateral aponeurosis in the linea alba. The lowermost portion of the aponeurosis blends with the aponeurosis of the transversus abdominis muscle to form the conjoint tendon, attaching to the pubic crest and often the pecten pubis, thus forming the posterior wall of the inguinal canal at the superficial inguinal ring. See: cremasteric fascia, conjoint tendon, rectus sheath. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal tentorial branch of internal carotid artery | <anatomy, artery> A small branch from the cavernous part of the internal carotid artery to the base of the tentorium. Synonym: ramus basalis tentorii arteriae carotidis internae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglionic branch of internal carotid artery | <anatomy, artery> Branch to trigeminal ganglion; a small branch of the cavernous part of the internal carotid artery to the trigeminal ganglion. Synonym: ramus ganglii trigeminalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| marginal tentorial branch of internal carotid artery | <anatomy, artery> A small branch from the cavernous part of the internal carotid artery to the free margin of the tentorium. Synonym: ramus marginalis tentorii arteriae carotidis internae. (05 Mar 2000) |
