| ulnar artery | <anatomy, artery> The larger of the two terminal branches of the brachial artery, beginning about one centimeter distal to the bend of the elbow.

| radial collateral ligament of elbow | The ligament that connects the lateral epicondyle of the humerus with the annular ligament of the radius. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale radiale, lateral ligament of elbow, radial collateral ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radial collateral ligament of wrist | The ligament that extends distally from the styloid process of the radius to the carpal bones. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale carpi radiale, external collateral ligament of wrist, lateral ligament of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palmar branch of ulnar nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of ulnar nerve arising in distal forearm and accompanying palmar artery into hand where it supplies skin of little finger and medial half of ring finger and adjacent parts of palm. Synonym: ramus palmaris nervi ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial collateral | <anatomy> A strong ligament which connects the femur to the tibia, stabilising the inner aspect of the knee joint. (27 Sep 1997) |
| medial collateral ligament, knee | A broad, flat, longitudinal band on the medial side of the knee joint. It is attached superiorly to the medial epicondyle of the femur, inferiorly to the medial surface of the body of the tibia, and in between to the medial meniscus. It is a frequent site of injury, particularly rupture and tear. (12 Dec 1998) |
| medial collateral ligament of elbow | The triangular ligament extending from the medial epicondyle of the humerus to the medial side of the coronoid process and olecranon of the ulna. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale ulnare, medial collateral ligament of elbow, ulnar collateral ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| groove for ulnar nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A furrow on the posterior surface of the medial epicondyle of the humerus, lodging the ulnar nerve. Synonym: sulcus nervi ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| collateral | <anatomy> Situated side by side, adjacent and on the same radius of an axis. (09 Oct 1997) |
| 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) |
| collateral circulation | Compensatory circulation carried on through secondary channels after obstruction of the principal vessel supplying the part. (12 Dec 1998) |
| collateral eminence | A longitudinal elevation of the floor of the collateral trigone of the lateral ventricle of the brain, between the hippocampus and the calcar avis, caused by the proximity of the floor of the collateral fissure. Synonym: eminentia collateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
