| inferior labial branches of mental nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branches of mental nerve to lower lip. Synonym: rami labiales inferiores nervi mentalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inguinal branches of external pudendal arteries | Branches to the inguinal region which may arise as branches of external pudendal arteries or as direct branches of the femoral artery. Supply skin and subcutaneous tissues, including inguinal lymph nodes. Synonym: rami inguinales arteriae pudendae externae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal nasal branches | Branches to nasal cavity. Internal nasal branches of 1) infraorbital nerve (rami nasales interni nervi infraorbitalis ); 2) nasociliary nerve (rami nasales interni nervi ethmoidalis anterioris ). Synonym: rami nasales interni. (05 Mar 2000) |
| omental branches | Branches to the greater omentum; epiploic branches arise from the left and right gastroepiploic arteries (rami omentales arteriae gastro-omentalis sinistrae et dextrae ) opposite the gastric branches (rami gastrici ) along the greater curvature of the stomach. Synonym: rami omentales, omental branches, rami epiploicae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thoracic cardiac branches of vagus nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branches of vagus nerve to the cardiac plexus which branch from the vagi at thoracic levels, conducting presynpatic parasympathetic fibres to, and reflex afferent fibres from, the cardiac plexus. Synonym: rami cardiaci thoracici nervi vagi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thymic branches of internal thoracic artery | <anatomy, artery> See: mediastinal branches of internal thoracic artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tracheal branches | Branches to the trachea. Nomina Anatomica lists tracheal branches of 1) inferior thyroid artery (rami tracheales arteriae thyroideae inferioris ); and 2) recurrent laryngeal nerve (rami tracheales nervi laryngei recurrentis ). Synonym: rami tracheales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse branches | Branches which run transversly. Nomina Anatomica lists transverse branches of 1) lateral femoral circumflex artery (ramus transversus arteriae circumflexae femoris lateralis ); and 2) medial femoral circumflex artery (ramus transversus arteriae circumflexae femoris medialis ). Synonym: ramus transversus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epiploic branches | Branches to the greater omentum; epiploic branches arise from the left and right gastroepiploic arteries (rami omentales arteriae gastro-omentalis sinistrae et dextrae ) opposite the gastric branches (rami gastrici ) along the greater curvature of the stomach. Synonym: rami omentales, omental branches, rami epiploicae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| joint branches | Branches distributed to joints. Almost any vessel related to a joint will supply articular rami. Most joints receive articular branches from the intramuscular branches of the motor nerves innervating the muscles crossing the joint (see Hilton's law). at this printing, Nomina Anatomica, however, specifically recognises only the articular branches of the descending genicular artery, ramus articulares arteriae descendentis genicularis; supplying the knee joint. Synonym: rami articulares, joint branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| external nasal branches | Branches to external aspect of nose. The external nasal branches of 1) infraorbital nerve, rami nasales externii nervi infraorbitalis, 2) nasociliary nerve, rami nasales externi nervi ethmoidalis anterioris. Synonym: rami nasales externi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| faucial branches of lingual nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The faucial branches, branches to the isthmus of the fauces from the lingual nerve. Synonym: rami isthmi faucium nervi lingualis, rami fauciales nervi lingualis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ureteral branches | Branches distributed to the ureter. Although not listed by Nomina Anatomica, ureteric branches also rise regularly from the 1) abdominal aorta, 2) common iliac artery, and 3) internal iliac artery. Ureteric branches from the inferior vesical artery are constant in occurrence and supply the terminal portion of the ureter. Synonym: rami ureterici, ureteral branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
