| crural interosseous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A nerve given off from one of the muscular branches of the tibial nerve which passes down over the posterior surface of the interosseous membrane supplying it and the two bones of the leg. Synonym: nervus interosseus cruris, interosseous nerve of leg. (05 Mar 2000) |

| posterior thoracic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the fifth, sixth, and seventh cervical nerves (roots of brachial plexus), descends the neck behind the brachial plexus, and is distributed to the serratus anterior muscle; it is somewhat unusual in that it courses on the superficial aspect of the muscle is supplies; its paralysis results in "winged scapula". Synonym: nervus thoracicus longus, Bell's respiratory nerve, external respiratory nerve of Bell, posterior thoracic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| postlaminar part of optic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The portion of the optic nerve posterior to the lamina cribrosa of the sclera. Synonym: pars postlaminaris nervi optici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cubital nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans, the fibres of the ulnar nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually c7 to t1), travel via the medial cord of the brachial plexus, and supply sensory and motor innervation to parts of the hand and forearm. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cutaneous branch of obturator nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of the anterior branch of obturator nerve supplying skin of medial thigh above knee. Synonym: ramus cutaneus rami anterioris nervi obturatorii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cutaneous 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) |
| cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A mixed nerve supplying a region of the skin, including its sensory endings, blood vessels, smooth muscle and glands. Synonym: nervus cutaneus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Cyon's nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the vagus which ends in the aortic arch and base of the heart; composed entirely of afferent fibres; its stimulation elicits a brainstem reflex which causes slowing of the heart, dilation of the peripheral vessels, and a fall in blood pressure. Synonym: Cyon's nerve, depressor nerve of Ludwig, Ludwig's nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prelaminar part of optic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The portion of the optic nerve anterior to the lamina cribrosa of the sclera. Synonym: pars prelaminaris nervi optici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| presacral nerve | The continuation of the aortic plexus inferior to the aortic bifurcation across the fifth lumbar vertebra into the pelvis where it divides into two hypogastric nerves at the sides of the rectum; these join the pelvic splanchnic nerves to form the inferior hypogastric plexus's supplying pelvic viscera. Synonym: plexus hypogastricus superior, nervus presacralis, Latarget's nerve, presacral nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pressoreceptor nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A nerve composed of afferent fibres the endings of which are sensitive to increases in mechanical pressure; the term specifically refers to sensory nerve's innervating the walls of hollow organs. Synonym: baroreceptor nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pressor nerve | An afferent nerve, stimulation of which excites a reflex vasoconstriction, thereby raising the blood pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| saccular nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the vestibular nerve going to the macula of the sacculus. Synonym: nervus saccularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| principal sensory nucleus of trigeminal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The term commonly used to designate the nucleus pontis nervi trigeminalis; located in pons lateral to the motor trigeminal nucleus; receives primary sensory (touch and pressure) input via the trigeminal nerve, projects to ventral posteromedial nucleus of thalamus. Synonym: nucleus sensorius principalis nervi trigemini, nucleus sensorius superior nervi trigemini, principal sensory nucleus of the trigeminus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| saphenous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the femoral, extending from the femoral triangle to the foot, becoming subcutaneous on the medial side of the knee; it supplies cutaneous branches to the skin of the leg and foot, by way of infrapatellar and medial crural branches. Synonym: nervus saphenus, internal saphenous nerve, long saphenous nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
