| internal surface of frontal bone | The surface of the frontal bone that contributes to the wall of the cranial cavity. Synonym: facies interna ossis frontalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| internal surface of parietal bone | The concave surface of the parietal bone forming part of the wall of the cranial cavity. Synonym: facies interna ossis parietalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal thoracic artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, subclavian; branches, pericardiacophrenic, anterior intercostal, sternal, mediastinal, thymic, bronchial, muscular, and perforating branches, and bifurcates into the musculophrenic and superior epigastric. Synonym: arteria thoracica interna, arteria mammaria interna, internal mammary artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal thoracic lymphatic plexus | A lymphatic plexus, including the parasternal; (internal thoracic) lymph nodes, with their vessels, situated along the course of the internal thoracic veins. Synonym: mammary plexus, plexus mammarius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal thoracic plexus | An autonomic plexus on the internal thoracic artery derived from the subclavian plexus. Synonym: internal mammary plexus, plexus mammarius internus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal thoracic vein | <anatomy, vein> Venae comitantes of each artery of the same name, fusing into one at the upper part of the thorax and emptying into the brachiocephalic vein of the same side; receive drainage of anterior chest wall. Synonym: vena thoracica interna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal traction | A pulling force created by using one of the cranial bones, above the point of fracture, for anchorage. (05 Mar 2000) |

| internal urethral sphincter | The complete collar of smooth muscle cells of the neck of the urinary bladder which extend distally to surround the preprostatic sportion of the male urethra. There is not a comparable structure in the neck of the femoral bladder; the internal urethral sphincter may exist to prevent reflux of semen into bladder. Synonym: annulus urethralis, internal urethral sphincter, musculus sphincter vesicae, preprostate urethral sphincter, proximal urethral sphincter, sphincter muscle of urinary bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |

| transverse crest of internal acoustic meatus | A horizontal ridge that divides the fundus of the internal acoustic meatus into a superior and an inferior area. In the former are the introitus of the facial canal and openings for the branches of the vestibular nerve to the utricle and to the ampullae of the anterior and lateral saemicircular canals. In the latter are openings for the cochlear nerve, and for branches of the vestibular nerve to the saccule and to the ampulla of the posterior saemicircular canal. Synonym: crista transversa, falciform crest, transverse crest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lamina internal ossium cranii | The inner table of one of the cranial bones; it is more compact and harder than the outer table. Synonym: lamina internal ossium cranii. (05 Mar 2000) |
