| carpal groove | The concavity on the anterior surface of the arch formed by the carpal bones. Synonym: sulcus carpi, carpal canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| carpal joints | The synovial joints between the carpal bones. Synonym: articulationes intercarpeae, carpal joints. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carpal tunnel | The passageway deep to the transverse carpal ligament between tubercles of the scaphoid and trapezoid bones on the radial side and the pisiform and hook of the hamate on the ulnar side, through which the median nerve and the flexor tendons of the fingers and thumb pass; compression of the median nerve may occur here (carpal tunnel syndrome). Synonym: canalis carpi, carpal canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carpal tunnel release | <orthopaedics, procedure> An orthopaedic surgical procedure which relieves the pressure exerted on the median nerve within the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This surgery may be performed conventionally via a small incision or using a fibreoptic scope (endoscopic carpal tunnel repair). (08 Jan 1998) |
| carpal tunnel syndrome | <syndrome> A condition where there is a disturbance of median nerve function in the wrist as the nerve passes through the carpal tunnel. A buildup of scar tissue (inside the carpal tunnel) can lead to this surgically correctable problem. Often treated with splinting and anti-inflammatory agents. (27 Sep 1997) |
| volar carpal ligament | <anatomy> A strong fibrous band crossing the front of the carpus and binding down the flexor tendons of the digits and the flexor carpi radialis tendon and the median nerve; in so doing it creates the carpal tunnel. Synonym: retinaculum flexorum, deep part of flexor retinaculum, flexor retinaculum, ligamentum carpi transversum, ligamentum carpi volare, volar carpal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle carpal joint | The synovial joint between the proximal and distal rows of carpal bones. Synonym: articulatio mediocarpea, middle carpal joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior carpal region | The posterior part of the wrist. Synonym: regio carpalis posterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse carpal ligament | <anatomy> A strong fibrous band crossing the front of the carpus and binding down the flexor tendons of the digits and the flexor carpi radialis tendon and the median nerve; in so doing it creates the carpal tunnel. Synonym: retinaculum flexorum, deep part of flexor retinaculum, flexor retinaculum, ligamentum carpi transversum, ligamentum carpi volare, volar carpal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malpighian rete | The living layer of the epidermis comprising the stratum basale, stratum spinosum, and stratum granulosum. Synonym: malpighian layer, malpighian rete. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rete | <anatomy> A net or network; a plexus; particularly, a network of blood vessels or nerves, or a part resembling a network. Origin: L, a net. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| rete acromiale | A vascular network between the acromion and the skin of the shoulder, formed by anastomoses of the acromial branch of the suprascapular artery with the acromial branch of the thoracoacromial artery. Synonym: rete acromiale, acromial plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rete arteriosum | A vascular network formed by anastomoses between minute arteries just before they become capillaries. Synonym: rete arteriosum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rete articulare cubiti | Vascular networks in the region of the elbow, composed of anastomoses between branches of the radial and middle collateral, superior and inferior ulnar collateral, radial recurrent, interosseous recurrent, and recurrent ulnar arteries. Synonym: rete articulare cubiti. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rete articulare genus | An arterial network over the front and sides of the knee, formed by branches of the descending genicular artery, of the five genicular arteries from the popliteal, of the anterior tibial recurrent, and of the fibular circumflex branch of the posterior tibial. Synonym: rete articulare genus. (05 Mar 2000) |
