| nervus cutaneus femoris posterior | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the first three sacral nerves, supplies the skin of the posterior surface of the thigh and of the popliteal region (S1 and S2 component); it gives off a perineal branch (S3 component) that passes to the lateral aspect of the scrotum or labia majora. Synonym: nervus cutaneus femoris posterior, posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh, small sciatic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |

| nervus cutaneus surae lateralis | <anatomy, nerve> It arises from the common peroneal in the popliteal space and is distributed to the skin of the inferolateral surface of the calf. Synonym: nervus cutaneus surae lateralis, lateral cutaneous nerve of calf. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus pectoralis medialis | <anatomy, nerve> A nerve that arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus to supply the pectoral muscles; usually pierces pectoralis minor, then continues to supply mainly the sternocostal portion of pectoralis major. Synonym: nervus pectoralis medialis, medial anterior thoracic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus plantaris medialis | <anatomy, nerve> One of the two terminal branches of the tibial nerve; it courses along the medial aspect of the sole to supply the abductor hallucis and flexor digitorum brevis and, by way of common and proper digital branches, to innervate the skin of the medial part of the foot and medial three and one-half toes. Synonym: nervus plantaris medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus supraclavicularis medialis | <anatomy, nerve> One of several nerves arising from the cervical plexus which supply the skin over the upper medial part of the thorax. Synonym: nervus supraclavicularis medialis, anterior supraclavicular nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aponeurosis musculi bicipitis brachii | Aponeurosis bicipitalis, radiating fibres from the tendon of insertion of the biceps which form a triangular band passing obliquely across the hollow of the elbow to the ulnar side and becoming merged into the deep fascia of the forearm. Formerly called "grace Dieu" fascia, it serves to protect the brachial artery and median nerve during phlebotomy of median cubital vein. Synonym: aponeurosis musculi bicipitis brachii, bicipital fascia, lacertus fibrosus, semilunar fascia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria profunda brachii | <anatomy, artery> Origin, brachial; distribution, humerus and muscles and integument of arm; anastomoses, posterior circumflex humeral, radial recurrent, recurrent interosseous, ulnar collateral, i.e., articular vascular network of elbow. Synonym: arteria profunda brachii, deep brachial artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biceps brachii | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, long head from supraglenoidal tuberosity of scapula, short head from coracoid process; insertion, tuberosity of radius; action, flexes and supinates forearm (it is the primary supinator of the forearm); nerve supply, musculocutaneous. Synonym: musculus biceps brachii, biceps muscle of arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bursa subtendinea musculi tricipitus brachii | <anatomy> The bursa located deep to the tendon of the triceps brachii near its insertion on the olecranon. Synonym: bursa subtendinea musculi tricipitus brachii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caput breve musculi bicipitis brachii | <anatomy> Head of biceps brachii originating from coracoid process of scapula. Synonym: caput breve musculi bicipitis brachii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caput laterale musculi tricipitis brachii | Lateral head of triceps brachii. See: lateral head. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caput longum musculi bicipitis brachii | Long head of biceps brachii muscle. See: long head. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caput longum musculi tricipitis brachii | Long head of triceps brachii muscle. See: long head. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caput mediale musculi tricipitis brachii | Medial head of triceps brachii muscle. See: medial head. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus biceps brachii | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, long head from supraglenoidal tuberosity of scapula, short head from coracoid process; insertion, tuberosity of radius; action, flexes and supinates forearm (it is the primary supinator of the forearm); nerve supply, musculocutaneous. Synonym: musculus biceps brachii, biceps muscle of arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
