| inferior cervical ganglion | Inferior-most of the three ganglia of the cervical portion of the sympathetic trunk, occurring at the C7 vertebral level. Most commonly, it is fused to the first thoracic sympathetic ganglion to form a stellate ganglion. Synonym: ganglion cervicale inferius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermediate cervical septum | A thin septum composed of glia fibre and leptomeningeal connective tissue in the cervical spinal cord marking the border between the gracile fasciculi and cuneatus of the dorsal funiculus. Synonym: septum cervicale intermedium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| invasive cervical cancer | Cancer that has spread from the surface of the cervix to tissue deeper in the cervix or to other parts of the body. (12 Dec 1998) |
| transverse cervical artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, thyrocervical trunk; branches, superficial (superficial cervical) and deep (descending scapular). Synonym: arteria transversa cervicis, arteria transversa colli, transverse artery of neck. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse cervical nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the cervical plexus that supplies the skin over the anterior triangle of the neck. Synonym: nervus transversus colli, cutaneous cervical nerve, nervus cervicalis superficialis, superficial cervical nerve, transverse nerve of neck. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse cervical veins | Venae comitantes of the corresponding arteries, emptying into the external jugular vein or sometimes into the subclavian vein. Synonym: venae transversae colli, transverse veins of neck. (05 Mar 2000) |
| unstable cervical spine fractures | <radiology> Flexion: bilateral interfacetal dislocation, flexion teardrop fracture (usually C5 or C6) extension: extension teardrop fracture (usually C2 or C3), hangman's fracture, extension-dislocation, extension-fracture-dislocation, odontoid fracture vertical compression: Jefferson burst fracture see: cervical spine fractures (12 Dec 1998) |
| laryngopharyngeal branches of superior cervical ganglion | Branches conveying postganglionic sympathetic fibres from the superior cervical ganglion to the pharyngeal plexus. Synonym: rami laryngopharyngei ganglii cervicalis superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |

| lateral part of posterior cervical intertransversarii muscles | lateral part of posterior cervical intertransversarii muscles |
| lateral superficial cervical lymph nodes | One to four nodes lying along the external jugular vein; they drain the skin and superficial structures over the region of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and send efferent vessels to the deep lateral cervical lymph nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici cervicales laterales superficiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
