| rami nasales posteriores inferiores nervi palatini majoris | <anatomy, nerve> Branches of greater palatine nerve to posterior inferior lateral wall of nasal cavity, including posterior aspect of mucosa over posterior portion of inferior nasal concha and meatus; may arise independently from pterygopalatine ganglion. Synonym: rami nasales posteriores inferiores nervi palatini majoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus pharyngeus arteriae palatini descendens | <anatomy, artery> May arise as a separate branch or as a continuation of lesser palatine artery. Synonym: ramus pharyngeus arteriae palatini descendens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus levator veli palatini | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, apex of petrous portion of temporal bone and lower part of cartilaginous auditory (eustachian) tube; insertion, aponeurosis of soft palate; action, raises soft palate; through the expansion of its fleshy belly during contraction, it helps to "push" open the auditory tube; nerve supply, pharyngeal plexus (cranial root of accessory nerve). Synonym: musculus levator veli palatini, elevator muscle of soft palate, levator palati muscle, musculus levator palati, musculus petrostaphylinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus tensor veli palatini | <anatomy> Tensor muscle of soft palate, musculus tensor palati; musculus palatosalpingeus; musculus sphenosalpingostaphylinus; dilator tubae; origin, scaphoid fossa of sphenoid, cartilaginous and membranous part of auditory (eustachian) tube and spine of sphenoid; insertion, posterior border of hard palate and aponeurosis of soft palate; action, tenses the soft palate; contributes to opening of auditory tube; nerve supply, branches of trigeminal nerve through the otic ganglion. Synonym: musculus tensor veli palatini, dilator tubae, musculus palatosalpingeus, musculus sphenosalpingostaphylinus, musculus tensor palati, palatosalpingeus, tensor muscle of soft palate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nerve of tensor veli palatini muscle | <anatomy> A branch of the mandibular nerveconveying fibres from the motor root of the trigeminal nerve which pass through the otic ganglion without synapse to supply the tensor veli palatini muscle. Synonym: nervus tensoris veli palatini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervi palatini minores | Usually two, these nerves emerge through the lesser palatine foramina and supply the mucosa and glands of the soft palate and uvula; they are branches of the pterygopalatine ganglion and contain postsynaptic parasympathetic and sensory fibres of the maxillary nerve. Synonym: nervi palatini minores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus tensoris veli palatini | <anatomy> A branch of the mandibular nerveconveying fibres from the motor root of the trigeminal nerve which pass through the otic ganglion without synapse to supply the tensor veli palatini muscle. Synonym: nervus tensoris veli palatini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| levator veli palatini | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, apex of petrous portion of temporal bone and lower part of cartilaginous auditory (eustachian) tube; insertion, aponeurosis of soft palate; action, raises soft palate; through the expansion of its fleshy belly during contraction, it helps to "push" open the auditory tube; nerve supply, pharyngeal plexus (cranial root of accessory nerve). Synonym: musculus levator veli palatini, elevator muscle of soft palate, levator palati muscle, musculus levator palati, musculus petrostaphylinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ala major ossis sphenoidalis | Strong squamous processes extending in a broad superolateral curve from the body of the sphenoid bone. The greater wing presents these suraces (facies): 1) cerebral surface: forms anterior third of the floor of the lateral portions of the middle cranial fossa; 2) temporal surface: forms the deepest portion of the temporal fossa; 3) infratemporal surface, forms the "roof" of the infratemporal fossa; 4) orbital surface: forms posterolateral wall of orbit. The greater wing forms the inferior border of the supraorbital fissure, and is perforated at its root by foramina rotundum ovale, and spinosum and the pterygoid canal. Synonym: ala major ossis sphenoidalis, ala temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ala minor ossis sphenoidalis | One of a bilateral pair of triangular, pointed plates extending laterally from the anterolateral body of the sphenoid bone. Forming the posteriormost portion of the floor of the anterior cranial fossa, their sharp posterior edge forms the sphenoidal ridge separating anterior and middle cranial fossae. The medial end of the lesser wing attaches to the body by means of two pedicles, thus forming the optic canal. The wing itself forms the superior margin of the supraorbital fissure. Synonym: ala minor ossis sphenoidalis, ala orbitalis, Ingrassia's apophysis, Ingrassia's wing. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ala ossis ilii | The upper flaring portion of the ilium. Synonym: ala ossis ilii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angulus frontalis ossis parietalis | The anterior superior angle of the parietal bone. Synonym: angulus frontalis ossis parietalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angulus mastoideus ossis parietalis | The posteroinferior point of the parietal bone. Synonym: angulus mastoideus ossis parietalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angulus occipitalis ossis parietalis | An angle formed by the junction, at the opisthion, of lines coming from the basion and from the projection in the median plane of the lower border of the orbits. See: Daubenton's line, Daubenton's plane. Synonym: angulus occipitalis ossis parietalis, occipital angle of parietal bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
