| perineal branches of posterior femoral cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branches of posterior femoral cutaneous nerve which convey sensory fibres to the skin of the lateral-most perineum and adjacent portions of the upper medial thigh. Synonym: rami perineales nervi cutanei femoris posterioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| collateral branches of posterior intercostal arteries 3-11 | Branch arising near angle of rib and descending to run along superior border of rib below; distribution: lower half of intercostal spaces 3-11; anastomoses: collateral branches of anterior intercostal arteries. Synonym: ramus collateralis arteriarum intercostalium posteriorum III-XI. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior branches | Branches directed dorsally or backward. Synonym: rami posteriores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior inferior nasal branches of greater palatine nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branches of greater palatine nerve to posterior inferior lateral wall of nasal cavity, including posterior aspect of mucosa over posterior portion of inferior nasal concha and meatus; may arise independently from pterygopalatine ganglion. Synonym: rami nasales posteriores inferiores nervi palatini majoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior superior alveolar branches of maxillary nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The branches of the superior alveolar nerves that supply the maxillary sinus and the molar tooth. Synonym: rami alveolares superiores posteriores nervi maxillaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior superior lateral nasal branches of pterygopalatine ganglion | Branches of pterygopalatine ganglion to upper posterior part of lateral wall of nasal cavity, including superior and middle nasal concha/meatuses, and posterior ethmoidal sinuses. Synonym: rami nasales posteriores superiores laterales ganglii pterygopalatini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior superior medial nasal branches of pterygopalatine ganglion | Usually branches of the nasopalatine nerve to posterior superior nasal septum. Synonym: rami nasales posteriores superiores mediales ganglii pterygopalatini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory nerve trunk | Part of the accessory nerve formed within the cranial cavity by the union of the cranial and spinal roots, which then divides within the jugular foramen into internal and external branches, the former uniting with the vagus, the latter exiting the foramen as in independent branch which is commonly considered to be the accessory nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bathing trunk nevus | These large pigmented (often hairy) congenital nevi are important because of their increased risk (10 to 15%) of conversion into malignant melanoma. A biopsy can confirm if cells have turned malignant. Any change in a pre-existing nevus should prompt a physician evaluation. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bifurcation of pulmonary trunk | The division of the pulmonary trunk into right and left pulmonary arteries. Synonym: bifurcatio trunci pulmonalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brachiocephalic trunk | The first and largest artery branching from the aortic arch. It distributes blood to the right side of the head and neck and to the right arm. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bronchomediastinal trunk | A lymphatic vessel arising from the union of the efferent lymphatics from the tracheo-bronchial and mediastinal nodes on either side. On the left side, it may be largely replaced by direct drainage into the thoracic duct. Synonym: truncus bronchiomediastinalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| valve of pulmonary trunk | <anatomy, cardiology> The heart valve that divides the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. The pulmonic valve opens when the right ventricle contracts allowing blood to flow into the pulmonary artery. The pulmonic valve on closure prohibits the backwash of unoxygenated blood into the right ventricle. The pulmonic valve has 3 valve cusps. (27 Sep 1997) |
| ganglia of sympathetic trunk | The clusters of postganglionic neurons located at intervals along the sympathetic trunks, including the superior cervical, middle cervical, and cervicothoracic (stellate) ganglion, the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral ganglia, and the ganglion impar. Synonym: ganglia trunci sympathici, paravertebral ganglia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglion of trunk of vagus | <anatomy, nerve> A large sensory ganglion of the vagus, anterior to the internal jugular vein. Synonym: ganglion inferius nervi vagi, ganglion of trunk of vagus, nodose ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
