| posterior longitudinal bundle | A longitudinal bundle of fibres extending from the upper border of the mesencephalon into the cervical segments of the spinal cord, located close to the midline and ventral to the central gray matter; it is composed largely of fibres from the vestibular nuclei ascending to the motor neurons innervating the external eye muscles (abducens, trochlear, and oculomotor nuclei), and descending to spinal cord segments innervating the musculature of the neck. Synonym: fasciculus longitudinalis medialis, Collier's tract, medial longitudinal bundle, posterior longitudinal bundle. (05 Mar 2000) |

| posterior longitudinal ligament | <anatomy> The fibrous band interconnecting the posterior surfaces of the vertebral bodies; it narrows to pass between the pedicles and spreads out to blend with the posterior annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral discs; forms the anterior wall of the vertebral canal. Synonym: ligamentum longitudinale posterius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior lunate lobule | The part of the superior surface of the cerebellar hemisphere lying behind the horizontal fissure. Synonym: lobulus semilunaris inferior, crus II, posterior lunate lobule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior marginal vein | It originates on the superior surface of the corpus callosum and runs posteriorly to terminate in the great cerebral vein. Synonym: dorsal callosal vein, dorsal vein of corpus callosum, posterior marginal vein, posterior pericallosal vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior medial nucleus of thalamus | Medial part of the ventrobasal nuclear complex. See: ventral posterior nucleus of thalamus. Synonym: nucleus ventralis posteromedialis thalami. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior median fissure of spinal cord | A shallow furrow in the median line of the posterior surface of the spinal cord. Synonym: sulcus medianus posterior medullae spinalis, posterior median fissure of spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior median fissure of the medulla oblongata | The longitudinal groove marking the posterior midline of the medulla oblongata; continuous below with the posterior median sulcus of the spinal cord. Synonym: sulcus medianus posterior medullae oblongatae, posterior median fissure of the medulla oblongata. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior median line | The line of intersection of the midsagittal plane with the posterior surface of the body. Synonym: linea mediana posterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior median sulcus of medulla oblongata | The longitudinal groove marking the posterior midline of the medulla oblongata; continuous below with the posterior median sulcus of the spinal cord. Synonym: sulcus medianus posterior medullae oblongatae, posterior median fissure of the medulla oblongata. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior median sulcus of spinal cord | A shallow furrow in the median line of the posterior surface of the spinal cord. Synonym: sulcus medianus posterior medullae spinalis, posterior median fissure of spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior mediastinal arteries | Numerous small arteries supplying the pleura and lymph nodes of the posterior mediastinum. Synonym: rami mediastinales aortae thoracicae, posterior mediastinal arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior mediastinal lymph nodes | Nodes located along the thoracic aorta; they receive vessels from the oesophagus, diaphragm, liver and pericardium and send efferents to the thoracic duct and bronchomediastinal lymphatic trunk(s). Synonym: nodi lymphatici mediastinales posteriores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior mediastinal mass | <radiology> Mnemonic: HALOVEEN, haematoma, abscess, lymph nodexs, osteophyte, vertebral (metastasis, plasmacytoma), extramedullary haematopoesis, oesophagus, neurogenic (12 Dec 1998) |
| posterior mediastinum | Lies between the pericardium and the vertebral column, below the level of the T4/5 intervertebral disc. It contains the descending aorta, thoracic duct, oesophagus, azygos veins, and vagus nerves. Synonym: mediastinum posterius, postmediastinum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior medullary velum | A thin sheet of white matter, hidden by the cerebellar tonsil, attached along the peduncle of the flocculus and, at and near the midline, to the nodulus of the vermis; it is continuous caudally with the epithelial lamina and choroid plexus of the fourth ventricle. Synonym: velum medullare inferius, posterior medullary velum, Tarin's valve, valvula semilunaris tarini, velum semilunare, velum tarini. (05 Mar 2000) |
