| SMABF | superior mesenteric artery blood flow |
| SMAE | superior mesenteric artery embolism |
| superior haemorrhoidal vein | <anatomy, vein> Outmoded term for superior rectal vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| superior intercostal vein | <anatomy, vein> See: left superior intercostal vein, right superior intercostal vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior labial vein | <anatomy, vein> Veins taking blood from the upper lip and discharging into the facial vein. Synonym: vena labialis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior laryngeal vein | <anatomy, vein> Vein which accompanies the superior laryngeal artery and empties into the superior thyroid vein. Synonym: vena laryngea superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior ophthalmic vein | <anatomy, vein> Begins anteriorly from the nasofrontal vein, passes along the upper part of the medial wall of the orbit, passes through the superior orbital fissure, to empty into the cavernous sinus. Synonym: vena ophthalmica superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior part of lingular branch of left pulmonary vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein that drains the superior lingular bronchopulmonary segment of the left lung. Synonym: pars superior rami lingularis venae pulmonis sinistri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior rectal vein | <anatomy, vein> It drains the greater part of the rectal venous plexus, and ascends between the layers of the mesorectum to the brim of the pelvis, where it becomes the inferior mesenteric vein. As a tributary of the portal vein, it forms a portocaval anastomosis with the middle and inferior rectal veins (caval tributaries) via the rectal venous plexus. Synonym: vena rectalis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior thalamostriate vein | <anatomy, vein> A long vein passing forward in the groove between the thalamus and caudate nucleus, covered by the lamina affixa, receiving the transverse caudate veins along its lateral side, and joining at the caudal wall of Monro's foramen with the choroidal vein and vein of septum pellucidum to form the internal cerebral vein. Synonym: vena terminalis, vena thalamostriata superior, terminal vein, vein of corpus striatum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior thyroid vein | <anatomy, vein> Receives blood from the upper part of the thyroid gland and larynx, accompanies the artery of the same name, and empties into the internal jugular vein. Synonym: vena thyroidea superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior vein of vermis | A vein draining part of the superior part of the cerebellum; it runs on the superior surface of the vermis to terminate in the internal cerebral vein. Synonym: vena vermis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intralobar part of the right superior pulmonary vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein draining the apical and posterior segments of the right lung; tributary to the posterior branch of the right superior pulmonary vein. Synonym: pars intralobaris venae pulmonalis dextrae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left superior intercostal vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein formed by the union of the left second, third, and fourth intercostal veins; it passes forward across the arch of the aorta to empty into the left brachiocephalic vein and frequently communicates also with the accessory hemiazygos vein. Synonym: vena intercostalis superior sinistra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left superior pulmonary vein | The vein returning oxygenated blood from the left superior lobe of the lung to the left atrium. Synonym: vena pulmonalis superior sinistra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ascending branch of the inferior mesenteric artery | <anatomy, artery> Branch of the left colic artery (from inferior mesenteric artery) that passes anteriorly to the left kidney into the transverse mesocolon, where it anastomoses with the middle colic artery. It thus forms an anastomosis between superior and inferior mesenteric arteries, and is a component of the marginal artery (Drummond) of the colon. Synonym: arteria ascendens, arteria intermesenterica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central 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) |
