| ramus tentorii | <anatomy, nerve> The tentorial branch, a branch arising in a recurrent fashion from the intracranial portion of the ophthalmic nerve supplying the tentorium and supratentorial falx cerebri. Synonym: ramus tentorii, nervus tentorii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus thalamicus | A branch of the middle cerebral artery to the thalamus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus thyrohyoideus ansae cervicalis | <anatomy> The thyrohyoid branch, contains fibres of the first and second cervical nerves that have accompanied the hypoglossal nerve to the suprahyoid region, then branch from it to reach the thyrohyoid muscle. Synonym: ramus thyrohyoideus ansae cervicalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus tonsillae cerebellae | The branch to the cerebellar tonsil, a branch from the posterior inferior cerebellar artery supplying the tonsil of the cerebellum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus tonsillaris arteriae facialis | <anatomy, artery> Primary blood supply to palatine tonsil, with extensive anastomoses with other tonsillar arteries. Synonym: ramus tonsillaris arteriae facialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus transversus | Branches which run transversly. Nomina Anatomica lists transverse branches of 1) lateral femoral circumflex artery (ramus transversus arteriae circumflexae femoris lateralis ); and 2) medial femoral circumflex artery (ramus transversus arteriae circumflexae femoris medialis ). Synonym: ramus transversus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus transversus arteriae circumflexae femoris lateralis | Transverse branches of lateral femoral circumflex artery. See: transverse branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus transversus arteriae circumflexae femoris medialis | Transverse branches of medial femoral circumflex artery See: transverse branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus tubarius | Branch to a tubular structure. Synonym: ramus tubarius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus tubarius arteriae uterinae | <anatomy, artery> Terminal branch of uterine artery (with ovarian branch) supplying medial portion of uterine tube, anastomosing with tubal branch of ovarian artery. Synonym: ramus tubarius arteriae uterinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus tubarius plexus tympanici | Sensory branch of tympanic plexus (of glossopharyngeal nerve) to auditory tube. Synonym: ramus tubarius plexus tympanici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus ulnaris nervi cutanei antebrachii medialis | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve supplying the skin of the medial portion of the proximal two-thirds of the dorsal side of the forearm. Synonym: ramus ulnaris nervi cutanei antebrachii medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus ventralis nervi spinalis | <anatomy, nerve> The larger, anterolaterally-directed major terminal branch (with the dorsal primary ramus) of all 31 pairs of mixed spinal nerves, formed at the intervertebral foramen. Most ventral primary rami, especially those involved in the innervation of the limbs, participate in the formation of the major nerve plexuses (cervical, brachial, and lumbosacral) and lose their identities. Most in the thoracic region, however, remain separate from adjacent rami to become the intercostal and subcostal nerves. Ventral primary rami provide innervation to the anterolateral body wall and trunk. Nomina Anatomica lists ventral primary rami as "rami ventrales" for each group of spinal nerves: 1) cervical (nervorum cervicalium ), 2) thoracic (nervorum thoracicorum ), 3) lumbar (nervorum lumbalium ), 4) sacral (nervorum sacralium )m, and 5) coccygeal (nervi coccygei ). Synonym: ramus ventralis nervi spinalis, anterior primary division. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus zygomaticofacialis nervi zygomatici | <anatomy, nerve> Penetrates zygomatic bone to supply skin of face over zygoma or cheekbone. Synonym: ramus zygomaticofacialis nervi zygomatici. (05 Mar 2000) |
