| arteria parietales anterior | <anatomy, artery> The branch distributed to the anterior part of the parietal lobe. Synonym: arteria parietales anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| arteria recurrens tibialis anterior | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the anterior tibial artery which ascends to supply the front and sides of the knee joint, thus contributing to the articular network of the knee. Synonym: arteria recurrens tibialis anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria temporalis anterior | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the insular part of the middle cerebral artery distributed to the cortex of the anterior part of the temporal lobe. Synonym: arteria temporalis anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria tibialis anterior | <anatomy, artery> Origin, popliteal; branches, posterior and anterior tibial recurrent, lateral and medial anterior malleolar, dorsalis pedis, lateral tarsal, medial tarsal, arcuate, dorsal metatarsal, and dorsal digital. Synonym: arteria tibialis anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria tympanica anterior | <anatomy, artery> Origin, maxillary; distribution, middle ear; anastomoses, tympanic branches of internal carotid and ascending pharyngeal and stylomastoid. Synonym: arteria tympanica anterior, glaserian artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars postcommunicalis arteria cerebri anterior | <anatomy, artery> The continuation of the anterior cerebral artery after the anterior communicating artery; it supplies branches to the cerebral cortex as it passes along the corpus callosum. Synonym: pars postcommunicalis arteria cerebri anterior, arteria pericallosa, postcommunical part of anterior cerebral artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arachnoidea mater spinalis | That portion of the arachnoid which lies within the vertebral canal and surrounds the spinal cord and the vertebral portion of the subarachnoid space. It extends from the foramen magnum above to the S-2 vertebral level. Since the spinal cord ends at the L-2 vertebral level, a wide separation occurs between the arachnoid and pia mater, the lumbar cistern, filled with cerebrospinal fluid in which the cauda equina is suspended. Synonym: arachnoidea mater spinalis, spinal part of arachnoid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canalis centralis medullae spinalis | The ependyma-lined lumen (cavity) of the neural tube, the cerebral part of which remains patent to form the ventricles of the brain, while the spinal part in the adult often is reduced to a solid strand of modified ependyma. Synonym: canalis centralis medullae spinalis, central canal of spinal cord, tubus medullaris. Synonym: syringocele. (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) |
| pars cervicalis medullae spinalis | The part of the spinal cord that consists of the eight cervical segments and gives rise to the first eight pairs of spinal nerves. Synonym: pars cervicalis medullae spinalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars coccygea medullae spinalis | The terminal part of the spinal cord consisting of the three coccygeal segments of the spinal cord from which the three pairs of coccygeal nerves originate. Synonym: pars coccygea medullae spinalis, segmenta medullae spinalis coccygea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars lumbalis medullae spinalis | lumbar part |
| pars sacralis medullae spinalis | The part of the cord from which consists of the five sacral segments of the spinal cord (S1-S5) and from which five pairs of sacral nerves originate. Synonym: pars sacralis medullae spinalis, segmenta medullae spinalis sacralia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars spinalis nervi accessorii | <anatomy> An alternate term for spinal root of accessory nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars thoracica medullae spinalis | The part of the spinal cord which consists of the twelve thoracic segments of the spinal cord from which the twelve pairs of thoracic nerves originate. Synonym: pars thoracica medullae spinalis, segmenta medullae spinalis thoracica. (05 Mar 2000) |
