| deep branch | Branch which passes deeply, beneath, or farther from surface; usually in contrast to a superficial branch. Synonym: ramus profundus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep branch of the lateral plantar nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Motor branch of lateral plantar nerve supplying lumbricals 2-4, plantar and dorsal interossei, and the adductor hallucis muscles. Synonym: ramus profundus nervi plantaris lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep branch of the radial nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The deep terminal branch of the radial nerve, arises in the cubital region, penetrating and supplying the supinator and continuing with the posterior interosseous artery to supply all the extensor muscles in the forearm. Synonym: nervus interosseus posterior, nervus antebrachii posterior, deep branch of the radial nerve, dorsal interosseous nerve, nervus interosseus dorsalis, posterior antebrachial nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep branch of the ulnar nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Accompanies deep palmar branch of ulnar artery and deep palmar arch to supply wrist joint, lumbricals 3 & 4, palmar and dorsal interossei adductor pollicis and deep head of flexor pollicis brevis muscles. Synonym: ramus profundus nervi ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deltoid branch | Branches related to the deltoid muscle. Nomina Anatomica lists deltoid branches of the following: 1) thoracoacromial artery, ramus deltoideus arteriae thoracoacromialis; 2) profunda brachii artery, ramus deltoideus arteriae profundae brachii. Synonym: ramus deltoideus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sympathetic branch to submandibular ganglion | Branch to the submandibular ganglion composed of postsynaptic sympathetic fibres from the internal carotid plexus conveyed largely by a periarterial plexus of the facial artery. Synonym: ramus sympathicus [sympatheticus] ad ganglion submandibulare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| descending anterior branch | The descending anterior branch of the superior lobar branches of the right and left pulmonry arteries. Synonym: ramus anterior descendens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| descending branch | Branch of an artery or nerve passing inferiorly. Descending branches have been described for the following: descending branch of hypoglossal nerve, superior root of ansa cervicalis; descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery; descending branch of the occipital artery. Synonym: ramus descendens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| descending branch of hypoglossal nerve | The fibres that arise from the first and second cervical nerves, accompany the hypoglossal nerve, then branch off to meet the inferior root in the ansa cervicalis; they innervate the infrahyoid muscles. Synonym: descendens hypoglossi, descending branch of hypoglossal nerve, radix superior ansae cervicalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
