| deep branch of the transverse cervical artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, subclavian or as the deep branch of the transverse cervical; distribution, passes deep to the rhomboid muscles, supplying them and other muscles and skin along the vertebral border of the scapula; anastomoses, suprascapular and scapular circumflex. Synonym: arteria dorsalis scapulae, rami profundi arteriae transversae cervicis, ramus profundus arteriae transversae colli, arteria scapularis dorsalis, arteria scapularis descendens, deep branch of the transverse cervical artery, descending scapular artery, ramus profundus arteria scapularis descendens.

| deep cervical artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, terminal branch of costocervical trunk (along with superior intercostal artery); distribution, posterior deep muscles of neck; anastomoses, branches of occipital, ascending cervical, and vertebral. Synonym: arteria cervicalis profunda. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep cervical fascia | Fascia of the neck; it is divided into an external or investing layer (superficial lamina) that surrounds the neck and encloses the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles, a middle or pretracheal layer in relation to the infrahyoid muscles, and a deep or prevertebral layer applied to the vertebrae and axial muscles. Synonym: fascia cervicalis, deep fascia of neck, fascia cervicalis profunda. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep cervical vein | <anatomy, vein> Large vein running with the artery of the same name between the semispinalis capitis and semispinalis cervicis draining the deep muscles at the back of the neck and emptying into the brachiocephalic or the vertebral vein. Synonym: vena cervicalis profunda. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dystocia, cervical | Dystocia caused by mechanical obstruction at the cervix. (12 Dec 1998) |
| incompetent cervical os | A defect in the strength of the internal os allowing premature dilation of the cervix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| investing layer of deep cervical fascia | The part of the cervical fascia investing the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles and completely encircling the neck. Synonym: lamina superficialis fasciae cervicalis, investing fascia, superficial layer of deep cervical fascia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
