| ramus obturatorius arteriae epigastricae inferioris | <anatomy, artery> Term applied to the anastomosis of pubic branch of the inferior epigastric artery with the pubic branch of the obturator artery when it contributes a significant supply through the obturator canal.

See: anastomotic branch of middle meningeal artery to lacrimal artery. Synonym: ramus orbitalis arteriae meningeae mediae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus orbitalis ganglii pterygopalatini | Branches of pterygopalatine ganglion traversing inferior orbital fissure, distributed in orbit to periorbita and mucosa of ethmoidal and sphenoidal sinuses. Synonym: ramus orbitalis ganglii pterygopalatini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus orbitofrontalis lateralis | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the insular part of the middle cerebral artery distributed to the cortex of the lateral, inferior part of the frontal lobe. Synonym: arteria frontobasalis lateralis, ramus orbitofrontalis lateralis, lateral orbitofrontal branch, orbitofrontal artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus orbitofrontalis medialis | <anatomy, artery> The medial orbitofrontal branch, the first branch of the pericallosal artery; it supplies the medial half of the inferior surface of the frontal cortex. Synonym: arteria frontobasalis medialis, ramus orbitofrontalis medialis, orbital artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus ossis ischii | The branch of the ischial bone, formerly called inferior branch of the ischium; the portion of the bone that passes forward from the ischial tuberosity to join the inferior ramus of the pubic bone, thus forming the ischiopubic ramus.

| ramus ovaricus arteriae uterinae | Terminal branch of uterine artery (with tubal branch) which runs through mesovarium supplying ovary from medial aspect and anastomosing with ovarian branch of ovarian artery. Synonym: ramus ovaricus arteriae uterinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus palmaris nervi mediani | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of median nerve arising proximal to flexor retinaculum and running superficial to it to supply skin of proximal central palm and thenar eminence. Since it does not traverse carpal tunnel, it is not affected by carpal tunnel syndrome, even though it supplies skin distal to carpal tunnel. Synonym: ramus palmaris nervi mediani. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus palmaris nervi ulnaris | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of ulnar nerve arising in distal forearm and accompanying palmar artery into hand where it supplies skin of little finger and medial half of ring finger and adjacent parts of palm. Synonym: ramus palmaris nervi ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus palmaris profundus arteriae ulnaris | <anatomy, artery> Branch of the ulnar artery which supplies the hypothenar muscles then passes deep into the palm to the flexor tendons and anastomoses with the deep palmar arch from the radial artery. Synonym: ramus palmaris profundus arteriae ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
