| 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) |
| ramus zygomaticotemporalis nervi zygomatici | <anatomy, nerve> Penetrates frontal process of zygomatic bone to supply skin of face lateral to orbit. Synonym: ramus zygomaticotemporalis nervi zygomatici. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: ramus ventralis nervi spinalis, anterior primary division. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peroneal anastomotic ramus | The peroneal (fibular) communicating branch of the common peroneal (fibular) nerve; it arises from the common peroneal nerve in the popliteal space and passes over the lateral head of the gastrocnemius to the middle third of the leg, where it unites with the medial sural cutaneous nerve to form the sural nerve. Synonym: ramus communicans fibularis nervi fibularis communis, ramus communicans peroneus nervi peronei communis, nervus communicans fibularis, nervus communicans peroneus, peroneal anastomotic ramus, peroneal communicating nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal primary ramus of spinal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The smaller, posteriorly-directed major terminal branch (with the ventral primary ramus) of all 31 pairs of mixed spinal nerves, formed at the intervertebral foramen and turning abruptly posteriorly to divide into lateral and medial branches, both of which will supply the deep (true) muscles of the back. The medial branch (rami medialis ) of the dorsal primary ramus also supplies articular branches to the zygopophyseal joints and the periosteum of the vertebral arch. In the neck and upper back, the medial branch continues through the deep and superficial back muscles to supply overlying skin; in the lower back, the lateral branch does this. Nomina Anatomica lists dorsal primary rami as "rami dorsales" for each group of spinal nerves: 1) cervical (nervorum cervicalium ), 2) thoracic (nervorum thoracicorum ), 3) lumbar (nervorum lumbalium ), 4) sacral (nervorum sacralium ), and 5) coccygeal (nervi coccygei ). Synonym: ramus dorsalis nervorum spinalium, ramus dorsalis, rami posteriores nervorum spinalium, dorsal branch, posterior primary division. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal ramus of accessory nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of the accessory nerve trunk which carries fibres from the cranial root and which unites with the vagus nerve in the jugular foramen. See: accessory nerve. Synonym: ramus internus nervi accessorii, internal ramus of accessory nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ischial ramus | The branch of the ischial bone, formerly called inferior branch of the ischium; the portion of the bone that passes forward from the ischial tuberosity to join the inferior ramus of the pubic bone, thus forming the ischiopubic ramus. Synonym: ramus ossis ischii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ischiopubic ramus | The inferior ramus of the pubis and the ramus of the ischium continuous with it, forming the inferomedial boundary of the obturator foramen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral cutaneous branches of ventral primary ramus of thoracic spinal nerves | Branches arising in approximately the anterior axillary line at the level of the second through sixth intercostal spaces. Synonym: rami mammarii laterales nervorum intercostalium, lateral cutaneous branches of intercostal nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral ramus radiograph | A radiographic view of the mandibular ramus and condyle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aditus glottidis superior | Portion of the cavity of the larynx between the vestibular and vocal folds, with which the ventricles communicate. Synonym: aditus glottidis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angulus superior scapulae | Formerly named the medial angle, it lies at the junction of the superior and medial borders of the bone. Synonym: angulus superior scapulae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ankyloglossia superior syndrome | <syndrome> A congenital condition in which the tongue adheres to the hard palate; no evidence of genetic factors. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior superior alveolar arteries | Origin, infraorbital artery within intraorbital canal; distribution, via anterior alveolar canals to upper incisors and canine teeth, mucus membrane of maxillary sinus. Synonym: arteriae alveolares superiores anteriores, anterior superior dental arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
