| common palmar digital artery | <anatomy, artery> One of three arteries arising from the superficial palmar arch and running to the interdigital clefts where each divides into two proper palmar digital arteries. Synonym: arteria digitalis palmaris communis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common palmar digital nerves | Four nerves in the palm that send branches (proper palmar digital nerves) to adjacent sides of two digits; three are branches of the median, one is from the ulnar. Synonym: nervi digitales palmares communes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common plantar digital artery | <anatomy, artery> One of four arteries arising from a superficial plantar arch, when present as a variation. They unite with the plantar metatarsal arteries. Synonym: arteria digitalis plantaris communis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common plantar digital nerves | Three nerves derived from the medial plantar and one from the lateral plantar that supply the skin overlying the metatarsals and terminate as proper plantar digital nerves to the side of each toe. Synonym: nervi digitales plantares communes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| white pulp | That part of the spleen that consists of nodules and other lymphatic concentrations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plantar digital veins | Drain the plantar and distal dorsal aspects (nail beds) of the toes and pass back to form four metatarsal veins that in turn empty into the plantar venous arch. Synonym: venae digitales plantares. (05 Mar 2000) |

| proper palmar digital nerves | The palmar nerves of the digits of the hand derived from common palmar digital nerves; each nerve supplies a palmar quadrant of a digit and a part of the dorsal surface of the distal phalanx. Synonym: nervi digitales palmares proprii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| proper plantar digital artery | <anatomy, artery> One of the digital branches of the plantar metatarsal arteries. Synonym: arteria digitalis plantaris propria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| proper plantar digital nerves | The ten nerves derived from the common plantar digital nerves; each nerve supplies a plantar quadrant of a toe and part of the dorsal surface of the distal phalanx. Synonym: nervi digitales plantares proprii. (05 Mar 2000) |
