| 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.

| 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. Synonym: ramus superior venae pulmonalis dextrae/sinistrae inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ductulus aberrans inferior | A narrow, coiled tubule frequently connected to the first part of the ductus deferens or to the lower part of the ductus epididymitis. Synonym: ductulus aberrans inferior, Haller's vas aberrans. (05 Mar 2000) |
| incisura thyroidea inferior | A shallow notch in the middle of the lower border of the thyroid cartilage. Synonym: incisura thyroidea inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior | Of an ovary, at least partly below the level of attachment of the other floral parts. Compare: superior. (09 Oct 1997) |
| inferior aberrant ductule | A narrow, coiled tubule frequently connected to the first part of the ductus deferens or to the lower part of the ductus epididymitis. Synonym: ductulus aberrans inferior, Haller's vas aberrans. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior accessory fissure | The fissure that commonly separates the medial basal segment of the right lower lobe of the lung from the other basal segments, seen as an oblique line near the right heart border on chest radiographs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior alveolar artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, 1st part of maxillary artery; distribution, through mandibular foramen/canal to lower teeth and chin; branches, artery to mylohyoid, mental artery, dental arteries. Synonym: arteria alveolaris inferior, inferior dental artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior alveolar nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of the terminal branches of the mandibular, it enters the mandibular canal to be distributed to the lower teeth, periosteum, and gingiva of the mandible; a branch, the mental nerve, passes through the mental foramen to supply the skin and mucosa of the lower lip and chin. Synonym: nervus alveolaris inferior, inferior dental nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior anastomotic vein | <anatomy, vein> An inconstant vein that passes from the superficial middle cerebral vein posteriorly over the lateral aspect of the temporal lobe to enter the transverse sinus. Synonym: vena anastomotica inferior, Browning's vein, Labbe's vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior angle of scapula | The acute angle formed by junction of the medial and lateral borders of the scapula. Synonym: angulus inferior scapulae. (05 Mar 2000) |
