| mesenteric glands | See: mesenteric lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| mesenteric hernia | Hernia through a hole in the mesentery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mesenteric lymphadenitis | A condition clinically resembling acute appendicitis, in which there is inflammation of the mesenteric lymph nodes receiving lymph from the intestine. A septal form, which is frequently fatal, and a milder form, which is self-limited, are caused by yersinia (pasteurella) pseudotuberculosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mesenteric lymph nodes | Nodes located in the mesentery; they are of three classes: mesenteric lymph nodes, juxta-intestinal lymph nodes, and the superior middle group of mesenteric lymph nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici mesenterici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mesenteric portion of small intestine | The freely movable portion of the small intestine supplied with a mesentery, comprising the jejunum and ileum. Synonym: mesenteric portion of small intestine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mesenteric vascular occlusion | Obstruction of the flow in the mesenteric circulation by atherosclerosis, emboli or thrombi, stenosis, trauma, and compression or intrinsic pressure from adjacent tumours. Rare causes are drugs, intestinal parasites, and vascular immunoinflammatory diseases such as periarteritis nodosa and thromboangiitis obliterans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mesenteric veins | Veins which return blood from the intestines; the inferior mesenteric vein empties into the splenic vein, the superior mesenteric vein joins the splenic vein to form the portal vein. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mesenteric vessels | <anatomy> Those arteries and veins that supply the small and large intestines. (27 Sep 1997) |
| middle group of mesenteric lymph nodes | The mesenteric lymph nodes located along the intestinal (jejunal and ileal) branches of the superior mesenteric artery. Synonym: nodi lymphatici superiores centrales, central mesenteric lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior mesenteric ganglion | A paired sympathetic ganglion located at the origin of the superior mesenteric artery from the aorta. Synonym: ganglion mesentericum superius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior mesenteric lymph nodes | The numerous nodes located in the mesentery along the superior mesenteric artery; they receive lymph from the central mesenteric lymph nodes and drain into the intestinal lymph trunk. Synonym: nodi lymphatici mesenterici superiores, nodi lymphatici centrales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior mesenteric plexus | An autonomic plexus, a continuation of the abdominal aortic plexus, sending nerves to the intestines and forming with the vagus the subserous, myenteric, and submucous plexus's; this periarterial plexus is so dense that it results in the appearance of a characteristic perivascular "collar" distinguishing the superior mesenteric artery from the superior mesenteric vein in several imaging modalities such as with ultra sound. Synonym: plexus mesentericus superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior mesenteric vein | <anatomy, vein> Begins at the ileum in the right iliac fossa, ascends in the root of the mesentery, and unites behind the pancreas with the splenic vein to form the hepatic portal vein. Synonym: vena mesenterica superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior dental branches of inferior dental plexus | Branches passing from the inferior dental plexus to the roots of the teeth of the lower jaw. Synonym: rami dentales inferiores plexus dentalis inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior gingival branches of inferior dental plexus | Branches of inferior dental plexus to the gingiva of the lower jaw. Synonym: rami gingivales inferiores plexus dentalis inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
