| flexor retinaculum of lower limb | A wide band passing from the medial malleolus to the medial and upper border of the calcaneus and to the plantar surface as far as the navicular bone; it holds in place the tendons of the tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus, and flexor hallucis longus. Synonym: retinaculum musculorum flexorum, laciniate ligament, ligamentum laciniatum, retinaculum of flexor muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral surface of lower limb | The lateral surface of the inferior limb. Synonym: facies lateralis membri inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lower abdominal periosteal reflex | A deep abdominal reflex in which there is a contraction of the abdominal muscles on tapping the anterior superior iliac spine. Synonym: lower abdominal periosteal reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lower airway | The portion of the respiratory tract that extends from the subglottis to and including the terminal bronchioles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lower alveolar point | In craniometrics, the apex of the septum between the mandibular central incisors. Synonym: lower alveolar point. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lower body negative pressure | External decompression applied to the lower body. It is used to study orthostatic intolerance and the effects of gravitation and acceleration, to produce simulated haemorrhage in physiologic research, to assess cardiovascular function, and to reduce abdominal stress during childbirth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lower extremity | The hip, thigh, leg, ankle, and foot. Synonym: membrum inferius, inferior limb, lower extremity, pelvic limb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lower eyelid | The inferior, smaller and less mobile of the two eyelids; a check ligament from the inferior rectus muscle extends into it, pulling the lid inferiorly when the gaze is directed downward. Synonym: palpebra inferior, lower lid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lower GI series | <investigation, radiology> A radiographic diagnostic procedure that involves the introduction of a barium containing contrast material into the lower gastrointestinal tract via the anus. X-rays taken after instillation of the barium will outline the course and anatomy of the lower GI tract. (27 Sep 1997) |
| lower heating value | (LHV) The potential energy in a fuel if the water vapour from combustion of hydrogen is not condensed. (05 Dec 1998) |
| lower hybrid waves | <physics> Electrostatic ion oscillations at a frequency intermediate to the electron extraordinary wave (high frequency) and the magnetosonic wave (low frequency). (09 Oct 1997) |
| lower jaw | The jaw bone. (27 Sep 1997) |
| lower lateral cutaneous nerve of arm | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the radial nerve supplying the skin of the lower lateral aspect of the arm; it frequently is a branch of the posterior antebrachial nerve. Synonym: nervus cutaneus brachii lateralis inferior, lower lateral cutaneous nerve of arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lower lid | The inferior, smaller and less mobile of the two eyelids; a check ligament from the inferior rectus muscle extends into it, pulling the lid inferiorly when the gaze is directed downward. Synonym: palpebra inferior, lower lid. (05 Mar 2000) |
