| ligamentum costotransversarium superius | <anatomy> The fibrous band that extends upward from the neck of a rib to the transverse process of the next higher vertebra. Synonym: ligamentum costotransversarium superius, anterior costotransverse ligament, ligamentum costotransversarium anterius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum epididymidis superius | The uppermost of the two folds of the tunica vaginalis between the head of the epididymis and the testis. Synonym: ligamentum epididymidis superius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum incudis superius | Connects the body of the incus with the roof of the tympanic recess. Synonym: ligamentum incudis superius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum mallei superius | A ligament extending from the head of the malleus to the roof of the epitympanic recess. Synonym: ligamentum mallei superius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum pubicum superius | <anatomy> Fibres that pass transversely above the pubic symphysis. Synonym: ligamentum pubicum superius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum transversum scapulae superius | <anatomy> The strong fibrous band that bridges the scapular notch creating a foramen that gives passage to the suprascapular nerve, while the suprascapular vessels pass over the ligament superiorly. Synonym: ligamentum transversum scapulae superius, suprascapular ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aberrant ganglion | A collection of nerve cells sometimes found on a posterior spinal nerve root between the spinal ganglion and the spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acousticofacial ganglion | A primordial ganglionic cell mass in young embryos which later separates into the acoustic or spiral ganglion of the vestibulocochlear (eighth cranial) nerve and the geniculate ganglion of the facial (seventh cranial) nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Acrel's ganglion | Pseudoganglion on the posterior interosseous nerve on the dorsal aspect of the wrist joint, a cyst on a tendon of an extensor muscle at the level of the wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Andersch's ganglion | <anatomy, nerve> The lower of two sensory ganglion's on the glossopharyngeal nerve as it traverses the jugular foramen.

| Arnold's ganglion | An autonomic ganglion situated below the foramen ovale medial to the mandibular nerve; its postganglionic, parasympathetic fibres are distributed to the parotid gland. Synonym: ganglion oticum, Arnold's ganglion, auricular ganglion, otoganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| auditory ganglion | An elongated ganglion of bipolar sensory nerve cell bodies on the cochlear part of the vestibulocochlear nerve in the spiral canal of the modiolus; each ganglion cell gives rise to a peripheral process that passes between the layers of the bony spiral lamina to the organ of Corti, and a central axon that enters the hindbrain as a component of the inferior (cochlear) root of the eighth nerve. Synonym: ganglion spirale cochleae, auditory ganglion, cochlear ganglion, Corti's ganglion, spiral cochlear ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
