| superior gluteal artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, internal iliac; distribution, gluteal region; anastomoses, lateral sacral, inferior gluteal, internal pudendal, deep circumflex iliac, lateral circumflex femoral. Synonym: arteria glutea superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| superior gluteal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the fourth and fifth lumbar and first sacral nerves, and supplies the gluteus medius and minimus and tensor fasciae latae muscles (abductors and medial rotators of the hip joint). A lesion of this nerve causes the pelvis to drop on the unsupported side when the foot is lifted off the ground (Trendelenburg sign). Synonym: nervus gluteus superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior gluteal veins | The veins that accompany the superior gluteal artery, entering the pelvis as two veins which unite into one and empty into the internal iliac vein. Synonym: venae gluteae superiores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior branch of superior gluteal artery | <anatomy, artery> Distribution: gluteus medius and minimus muscles; anastomosis: lateral circumflex femoral artery. Synonym: ramus inferior arteriae gluteae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior gluteal artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, internal iliac; distribution, hip joint and gluteal region; anastomoses, branches of internal pudendal, lateral sacral, superior gluteal, obturator, medial and lateral circumflex femoral. Synonym: arteria glutea inferior, arteria ischiadica, arteria ischiatica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior gluteal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the fifth lumbar and first and second sacral nerves, and supplies the gluteus maximus muscle. It is subject to injury by compression and ischemia in sedentary individuals, resulting in difficulty in rising from a sitting position and difficulty climbing stairs. Synonym: nervus gluteus inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior gluteal veins | The venae comitantes of the inferior gluteal artery uniting at the sciatic foramen to form a common trunk which empties into the internal iliac vein. Synonym: venae gluteae inferiores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermuscular gluteal bursa | <anatomy> Two or three small bursae between the tendon of the gluteus maximus and the linea aspera. Synonym: bursa intermuscularis musculorum gluteorum, intermuscular gluteal bursa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acoustic crest | An elevation on the inner surface of the ampulla of each saemicircular duct; filaments of the vestibular nerve pass through the crista to reach hair cells on its surface; the hair cells are capped by the cupula, a gelatinous protein-polysaccharide mass. Synonym: crista ampullaris, acoustic crest, transverse septum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acousticofacial crest | The part of the neural crest from which the ganglia of the seventh and eighth cranial nerves develop. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar crest | The portion of the alveolar bone extending beyond the periphery of the socket, lying interproximally, the top of the residual alveolar bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ampullary crest | An elevation on the inner surface of the ampulla of each saemicircular duct; filaments of the vestibular nerve pass through the crista to reach hair cells on its surface; the hair cells are capped by the cupula, a gelatinous protein-polysaccharide mass. Synonym: crista ampullaris, acoustic crest, transverse septum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior lacrimal crest | A vertical ridge on the lateral surface of the frontal process of the maxilla that forms part of the medial rim of the orbit. Synonym: crista lacrimalis anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arched crest | The ridge on the anterior surface of the arytenoid cartilage that separates the triangular from the oblong fovea. Synonym: crista arcuata cartilaginis arytenoideae, arched crest, arcuate crest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arcuate crest | The ridge on the anterior surface of the arytenoid cartilage that separates the triangular from the oblong fovea. Synonym: crista arcuata cartilaginis arytenoideae, arched crest, arcuate crest. (05 Mar 2000) |
