| middle superior alveolar branch of infraorbital nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The middle superior alveolar branch, a branch of the superior alveolar nerve that contributes to the superior dental plexus. Synonym: ramus alveolaris superior medius nervi infraorbitalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| clavicular branch of thoracoacromial artery | <anatomy, artery> Distribution, subclavius muscle and sternoclavicular joint. Synonym: ramus clavicularis arteriae thoracoacromialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phrenicoabdominal branch of phrenic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Terminal branches of phrenic nerve providing motor innervation of diaphragm and sensory innervation to the diaphragm and the diaphragmatic pleura and peritoneum. Synonym: rami phrenicoabdominales nervi phrenici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cochlear branch of labyrinthine artery | <anatomy, artery> Terminal branch (with vestibular branch) of labyrinthine artery; it divides into multiple fine branches which penetrate canals of modiolus to supply the plexus of the spiral lamina and basilar membrane. Synonym: ramus cochlearis arteriae labyrinthi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch | A bundle of nerve fibres passing from one named nerve to join another. The term "communicating branch" is used in the nervous system to replace the inadequate "anastomosing branch" used for vascular systems. Synonym: ramus communicans. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of chorda tympani to lingual nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Terminal branch of chorda tympani joining the lingual nerve in the infratemporal fossa; conveys sensory fibres for taste from anterior two-thirds of tongue and presynaptic parasympathetic fibres destined for submandibular ganglion for innervation of submandibular and sublingual salivary glands. Synonym: ramus communicans cum chorda tympani. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of facial nerve with glossopharyngeal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A small branch from the digastric branch of the facial nerve to the glossopharyngeal nerve. Synonym: ramus communicans cum nervo glossopharyngeo, Haller's ansa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of facial nerve with tympanic plexus | A fine branch of facial nerve joining the tympanic branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve. Synonym: ramus communicans nervi facialis cum plexu tympanico. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of lacrimal nerve with zygomatic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Nerve branch by which postsynaptic parasympathetic (secretomotor) fibres from the pterygopalatine ganglion are transferred from the zygomatic nerve to the lacrimal nerve (heretofore purely sensory) for distribution to the lacrimal gland. Synonym: ramus communicans nervi lacrimalis cum nervo zygomatico. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of median nerve with ulnar nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of median nerve joining the ulnar nerve in the hand; the anterior interosseous branch of the median nerve may also communicate with the ulnar nerve in the proximal forearm. Synonym: ramus communicans nervi mediani cum nervo ulnari. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of otic ganglion to auriculotemporal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the otic ganglion joining the roots of the auriculotemporal nerve to convey postsynaptic parasympathetic fibres to the parotid gland. Synonym: ramus communicans ganglii otici cum nervo auriculotemporali. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of otic ganglion to chorda tympani | A small branch of the otic ganglion conveying sensory fibres to the chorda tympani. Synonym: ramus communicans cum chorda tympani. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of otic ganglion with medial pterygoid nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of otic ganglion joining the nerve to the medial pterygoid muscle. Synonym: ramus communicans ganglii otici cum nervo pterygoideo mediali. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of peroneal artery | <anatomy, artery> The communicating branch of the peroneal (fibular) artery. Synonym: ramus communicans arteriae fibularis, ramus communicans arteriae peroneae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of superior laryngeal nerve with recurrent laryngeal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of internal branch of superior laryngeal nerve communicating with the recurrent laryngeal nerve in the wall of the laryngopharynx supplying sensory fibres to the latter. Synonym: ramus communicans nervi laryngei recurrentis cum ramo laryngeo interno, ramus communicans nervi laryngei superioris cum nervo laryngeo recurrenti, Galen's anastomosis, Galen's nerve.
