| musculi pectinati | Prominent ridges of atrial myocardium located on the inner surface of much of the right atrium and both auricles. Synonym: musculi pectinati, pectinate fibres. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculi perinei | Synonym: perineal muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculi rotatores | Deepest of the three layers of transversospinalis muscles, chiefly developed in the thoracic region; they arise from the transverse process of one vertebra and are inserted into the root of the spinous process of the next two or three vertebrae above; action, traditionally described as a column, it is more likely that these muscles, provided with a very high density of muscle spindles, are organs of proprioception; nerve supply, dorsal primary rami of the spinal nerves. Synonym: musculi rotatores, rotator muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculi rotatores cervicis | The rotator muscles attached to the cervical vertebrae. Synonym: musculi rotatores cervicis, cervical rotator muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculi rotatores lumborum | The rotator muscles of the lumbar vertebrae. Synonym: musculi rotatores lumborum, lumbar rotator muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculi rotatores thoracis | The rotators of the thoracic vertebrae. Synonym: musculi rotatores thoracis, thoracic rotator muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculi suboccipitales | A group of muscles located immediately below the occipital bone; they are: rectus capitis anterior muscle, rectus capitis posterior major and minor muscles, rectus capitis lateralis musculus, obliquus capitis superior and inferior muscles; innervated by suboccipital nerve; although actions are described, it is held by many authorities that these muscles act primarily as organs of proprioception. Synonym: musculi suboccipitales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculi suprahyoidei | The group of muscles attached to the upper part of the hyoid bone including the digastric, stylohyoid, mylohyoid, and geniohyoid muscles. Synonym: musculi suprahyoidei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculi thoracis | The muscles attaching to the rib cage including the pectoral muscles, serratus anterior, subclavius, levator muscles, intercostal muscles, transverse thoracic muscle, subcostal muscles, and diaphragm. Synonym: musculi thoracis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| crista musculi supinatoris | Crest of supinator muscle, the proximal part of the interosseous border of the ulna from which a portion of the supinator muscle takes origin. Synonym: crista musculi supinatoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus musculi subclavii | A groove on the inferior surface of the body of the clavicle to which is attached the subclavius muscle. Synonym: sulcus musculi subclavii, subclavian sulcus, sulcus subclavianus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus tendinis musculi fibularis longi | An alternate term for groove for tendon of peroneus longus muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus tendinis musculi flexoris hallucis longi | Groove for tendon of the flexor hallucis longus; a vertical sulcus on the posterior process of the talus continuous with a similar groove on the underside of the sustentaculum tali of the calcaneus. Synonym: sulcus tendinis musculi flexoris hallucis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus tendinis musculi peronei longi | <anatomy> The groove below the peroneal trochlea of the calcaneus, the groove distal to the tuberosity of the cuboid bone. Synonym: sulcus tendinis musculi peronei longi, sulcus tendinis musculi fibularis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |
