| 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) |
| circumflex fibular artery | <anatomy, artery> The circumflex fibular branch, a branch of the posterior tibial artery which winds around the neck of the fibula and joins the anastomoses around the knee joint. Synonym: ramus circumflexus fibularis arteriae tibialis posterioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common fibular nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of the terminal divisions of the sciatic nerve, diverging from the tibial nerve at the upper end of the popliteal fossa, then coursing with the biceps tendon along the lateral portion of the popliteal space to wind around the neck of the fibula where it divides into the superficial and deep peroneal nerves. The common peroneal nerve, or its deep branch, is the most commonly injured nerve, being located in a lateral subcutaneous position at the fibular neck; a lesion causes a loss of ability to dorsiflex the foot ("foot drop"). Synonym: nervus fibularis communis, nervus peroneus communis, common fibular nerve, lateral popliteal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| short fibular muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lower two-thirds of lateral surface of fibula; insertion, base of fifth metatarsal bone; action, everts foot; nerve supply, superficial peroneal. Synonym: musculus fibularis brevis, musculus peroneus brevis, short fibular muscle, short peroneal muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial fibular nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the common peroneal nerve which passes downward in the lateral compartment of the leg to supply the peroneus longus and brevis muscles and terminate as the intermediate and medial dorsal cutaneous nerves supplying the skin of the dorsum of the foot and toes (except for adjacent sides of great and second toes). Synonym: nervus fibularis superficialis, nervus peroneus superficialis, musculocutaneous nerve of leg, superficial fibular nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep fibular nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of the terminal branches of the common peroneal nerve, arising at the fibular neck and passing into the anterior compartment of the leg; it supplies the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, and peroneus tertius muscles in the leg, then crosses the ankle joint to supply the muscles on the dorsum of the foot (extensors hallucis and digitorum brevis) becoming cutaneous to innervate adjacent sides of the great and second toes. Synonym: nervus fibularis profundus, nervus peroneus profundus, anterior tibial nerve, deep fibular nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibular | Relating to the fibula. Synonym: fibularis. Origin: L. Fibularis (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibular artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, posterior tibial; distribution, soleus, tibialis posterior, flexor longus hallucis, peroneal muscles, inferior tibiofibular articulation, and ankle joint; anastomoses, anterior lateral malleolar, lateral tarsal, lateral plantar, dorsalis pedis. Synonym: arteria peronea, arteria fibularis, fibular artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibular articular surface of tibia | The flat circular articular facet on the inferior and lateral aspect of the lateral condyle of the tibia for articulation with the head of the fibula. Synonym: facies articularis fibularis tibiae. (05 Mar 2000) |
