| deep branch of the lateral plantar nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Motor branch of lateral plantar nerve supplying lumbricals 2-4, plantar and dorsal interossei, and the adductor hallucis muscles. Synonym: ramus profundus nervi plantaris lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery | <anatomy, artery> A major branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery accompanying the nerve to the vastus lateralis muscle along the anterior border of that muscle and deep to the rectus femoris muscle, supplying both muscles. Anastomosis: with lateral superior genicular artery, i.e., it contributes to the articular network of the knee. Synonym: ramus descendens arteriae circumflexae femoris lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal lateral cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The continuation of the sural nerve in the foot, supplying the lateral margin and dorsum. Synonym: nervus cutaneus dorsalis lateralis, dorsal lateral cutaneous nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior horn of lateral ventricle | The part of the lateral ventricle extending downward and forward into the medial part of the temporal lobe. See: lateral ventricle. Synonym: cornu inferius ventriculi lateralis, temporal horn. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior lateral brachial cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the radial nerve supplying the skin of the lower lateral aspect of the arm; it frequently is a branch of the posterior antebrachial nerve. Synonym: nervus cutaneus brachii lateralis inferior, lower lateral cutaneous nerve of arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior lateral genicular artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, popliteal; distribution, knee joint; anastomoses, lateral superior genicular and anterior tibial recurrent (and posterior); i.e., articular vascular network of knee. Synonym: arteria genus inferior lateralis, lateral inferior genicular artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trigone of lateral ventricle | A triangular prominence of the floor of the lateral ventricle at the transition between occipital and temporal horn, continuous rostrally with the collateral eminence and, like the latter, caused by the deep penetration of the collateral sulcus from the ventral surface of the temporal lobe. Synonym: trigonum collaterale, trigone of lateral ventricle, trigonum ventriculi, ventricular trigone. (05 Mar 2000) |
