| renal branch of lesser splanchnic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of lesser splanchnic nerve to the aorticorenal plexus/ganglion. Synonym: ramus renalis nervi splanchnici minoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| medial plantar nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of the two terminal branches of the tibial nerve; it courses along the medial aspect of the sole to supply the abductor hallucis and flexor digitorum brevis and, by way of common and proper digital branches, to innervate the skin of the medial part of the foot and medial three and one-half toes. Synonym: nervus plantaris medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal branch of vagus nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branches of vagus nerve to kidney via the coeliac plexus. Synonym: rami renales nervi vagi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial popliteal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The medial terminal branch of the sciatic nerve. The tibial nerve fibres originate in lumbar and sacral spinal segments (l4 to s2). They supply motor and sensory innervation to parts of the calf and foot. (12 Dec 1998) |
| medial root of median nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The part of the median nerve coming from the medial cord of the brachial plexus. Synonym: radix medialis nervi mediani. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial supraclavicular nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of several nerves arising from the cervical plexus which supply the skin over the upper medial part of the thorax. Synonym: nervus supraclavicularis medialis, anterior supraclavicular nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial sural cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the tibial in the popliteal space, passes down the calf between the two heads of the gastrocnemius and unites in the middle of the leg with the communicating branch of the common peroneal to form the sural nerve, distributed to the skin of the distal and lateral surfaces of the leg and ankle. Synonym: nervus cutaneus surae medialis, medial cutaneous nerve of leg, popliteal communicating nerve, tibial communicating nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans, the fibres of the median nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually c6 to t1), travel via the brachial plexus, and supply sensory and motor innervation to parts of the forearm and hand. (12 Dec 1998) |
| volar interosseous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the median arising in elbow region, running on interosseous membrane, supplying the flexor pollicis longus, part of flexor digitorum profundus and the pronator quadratus muscles, as well as radiocarpal and intercarpal joints. Synonym: nervus interosseus anterior, ramus profundus nervi radialis, nervus antebrachii anterior, anterior antebrachial nerve, volar interosseous nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medullated nerve fibre | An axon enveloped by a myelin sheath formed by oligodendroglia cells (in brain and spinal cord) or Schwann cells (in peripheral nerves). Synonym: medullated nerve fibre. (05 Mar 2000) |
| centrifugal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A nerve which transmits impulses from the brain and spinal cord to a muscle or organ. (27 Sep 1997) |
| centripetal nerve | <anatomy, physiology> A nerve which transmits impulses from the tissues to the brain and spinal cord (for example sensory nerve). (27 Sep 1997) |
| cervical branch of facial nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The most inferior branch of the parotid plexus of the facial nerve, it descends to innervate the platysma muscle. Synonym: ramus colli nervi facialis, ramus cervicalis nervi facialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| meningeal branch of mandibular nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A recurrent branch of the mandibular nerve that passes superiorly through foramen spinosum to be distributed with the posterior division of the middle meningeal artery to the meninges of the posterior portion of the middle cranial fossa. Synonym: ramus meningeus nervi mandibularis, nervus spinosus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| meningeal branch of ophthalmic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> See: tentorial nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
