| nucleus of inferior colliculus | The nerve cell groups composing the colliculus inferior. Synonym: nucleus colliculi inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nucleus salivatorius inferior | A group of preganglionic parasympathetic motor neurons located in the reticular formation of the medulla oblongata dorsal to the nucleus ambiguus; its axons leave the brain with the glossopharyngeal nerve and govern secretion from the parotid gland by the intermediary of the ganglion oticum; cells of the inferior and superior nucleus are scattered and overlapping in lateral regions of the reticular formation. Synonym: nucleus salivatorius inferior, inferior salivary nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior branch of the right and left inferior pulmonary veins | Tributaries of the right and left inferior pulmonary veins which receive oxygenated blood from the superior [S6] bronchopulmonary segments of the inferior lobes of the right and left lungs.
