| tendinous cords | Thread-like bands of fibrous tissue which attach on one end to the edges of the tricuspid and mitral valves and on the other to the papillary muscles. (12 Dec 1998) |

| tendinous inscription | Synonym: tendinous intersection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendinous opening | The aperture in the aponeurotic insertion of the adductor magnus that transmits the femoral artery and vein from the adductor canal to the popliteal space. Synonym: hiatus tendineus, hiatus adductorius, femoral opening, tendinous opening. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendinous spot | Gray-white or white, rounded or irregularly shaped, slightly opaque patches or spots that are sometimes observed postmortem in the epicardium, especially in middle-aged or older persons; they result from fibrous thickening, and sometimes hyalinization, of the epicardium; similar lesions may also occur in the visceral layer of the peritoneum. Synonym: macula lactea, macula tendinea, tache blanche, tache laiteuse, tendinous spot, white spot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendinous synovitis | <pathology> Inflammation of a tendon sheath. (18 Nov 1997) |
| tendinous xanthoma | Xanthoma involving tendons, ligaments, and fascia, forming deep, smooth, sometimes painful nodules beneath normal-appearing freely movable skin of the extremities; associated with abnormal lipid metabolism, commonly familial increased b lipoproteins or obstructive liver disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| the combined tendinous expansions of the sartorius | Gracilis, and semitendinosus muscles at the medial border of the tuberosity of the tibia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior carpal region | The anterior part of the wrist. Synonym: regio carpalis anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palmar carpal branch of radial artery | <anatomy, artery> A small branch of the radial artery that passes medially across the wrist to supply the carpal joints; it anastomoses with the anterior carpal branch of the ulnar artery. Synonym: ramus carpalis palmaris arteriae radialis, ramus carpeus palmaris arteriae radialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palmar carpal branch of ulnar artery | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the ulnar artery that supplies the carpal joints and communicates with the anterior carpal branch of the radial artery. Synonym: ramus carpalis palmaris arteriae ulnaris, ramus carpeus palmaris arteriae ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palmar carpal ligament | Thickening of distal antebrachial fascia just proximal to radiocarpal (wrist) joint. Continuous with extensor retinaculum at margins of forearm. This structure is distinct from the transverse carpal ligament, commonly called "the flexor retinaculum," which forms the roof of the carpal tunnel. Synonym: flexor retinaculum of forearm, palmar carpal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carpal | Relating to the carpus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carpal arches | Two anastomotic arterial twigs running transversely across the wrist: the palmar or anterior lies in front of the carpus, being formed by palmar carpal branches of the radial and ulnar arteries; the dorsal or posterior lies on the dorsal surface of the carpus, being formed by the dorsal carpal branches of the radial and ulnar arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carpal artery | <anatomy, artery> Arteries related to and supplying the wrist joint. See: dorsal carpal branch of radial artery, dorsal carpal branch of ulnar artery, palmar carpal branch of radial artery, palmar carpal branch of ulnar artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carpal articular surface of radius | The biconcave distal surface of the radius for articulation with the scaphoid bone laterally and the lunate medially. Synonym: facies articularis carpi radii. (05 Mar 2000) |
