| lateral circumflex femoral artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, profunda femoris; distribution, hip joint, thigh muscles; anastomoses, medial circumflex femoral, inferior gluteal, superior gluteal. Synonym: arteria circumflexa femoris lateralis, lateral circumflex artery of thigh, lateral femoral circumflex artery. (05 Mar 2000) |

| lateral circumflex femoral veins | The veins that accompany the lateral circumflex femoral artery, usually terminating in the femoral vein. Synonym: venae circumflexae femoris laterales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral collateral | A strong ligament which connects the femur to the tibia, stabilising the outer aspect of the knee joint. (27 Sep 1997) |
| lateral collateral ligament of ankle | The calcaneofibular ligament, anterior talofibular ligament, and posterior talofibular ligament together maintaining the integrity of the lateral aspect of the talocrural joint. Synonym: fibular collateral ligament of ankle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral column | A slight protrusion of the gray matter of the spinal cord into the lateral funiculus of either side, especially marked in the thoracic region where it encloses preganglionic motor neurons of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system; it corresponds to the lateral horn appearing in transverse sections of the spinal cord. See: gray columns. Synonym: columna lateralis, lateral column of spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |

| lateral condylar inclination | The direction of the lateral condyle path. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral condyle | Condyle farthest from the midline. Synonym: condylus lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| lateral cord of brachial plexus | In the brachial plexus, the bundle of nerve fibres formed by the anterior divisions of the superior and middle trunks which is located lateral to the axillary artery. This cord gives off the lateral pectoral nerve and terminates by dividing into the musculocutaneous nerve and the lateral root of the median nerve. Synonym: fasciculus lateralis plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral corticospinal tract | Those fibres of the pyramidal tract that cross to the opposite side in the pyramidal decussation and descend in the dorsal half of the lateral funiculus of the spinal cord; they are distributed throughout the length of the spinal cord to interneurons of the zona intermedia of the spinal gray matter. See: pyramidal tract. Synonym: tractus corticospinalis lateralis, tractus pyramidalis lateralis, crossed pyramidal tract, fasciculus corticospinalis lateralis, fasciculus pyramidalis lateralis, lateral corticospinal tract, lateral pyramidal fasciculus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral costal branch of internal thoracic artery | <anatomy, artery> A variable branch of internal thoracic artery that runs lateral and parallel to the internal thoracic artery on the deep surface of the rib cage; anastomosis: posterior intercostal arteries. Synonym: ramus costalis lateralis arteriae thoracicae internae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fossa of lateral malleolus | A large rough depression on the medial aspect of the lower end of the fibula just behind the articular facet for the talus giving attachment to the posterior talofibular and the transverse tibiofibular ligaments. Synonym: fossa malleoli lateralis, digital fossa, fossa malleoli fibulae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral costotransverse ligament | <anatomy> The short quadrangular ligament, actually a thickening of the posterior aspect of the costotransverse joint, extending from the tip of the transverse process to the posterior surface of the neck of the rib. Synonym: ligamentum costotransversarium laterale, ligamentum costotransversarium posterius, ligamentum tuberculi costae, posterior costotransverse ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
