(05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse metacarpal ligament | <anatomy> The ligament that interconnects the palmar surface of the heads of the second to fifth metacarpals, being continuous with the palmar ligaments on palmar plates; it lies in the plane of the palmar interosseous fascia. Synonym: ligamentum metacarpale transversum profundum, transverse metacarpal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse metatarsal ligament | <anatomy> The ligament that interconnects the plantar surface of the heads of the metatarsals, being continuous with the plantar ligaments. Synonym: ligamentum metatarsale transversum profundum, transverse metatarsal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse perineal ligament | <anatomy> The thickened anterior border of the urogenital diaphragm, formed by the fusion of its two fascial layers. Synonym: ligamentum transversum perinei, Krause's ligament, ligamentum transversum pelvis, transverse ligament of pelvis, transverse ligament of perineum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse tibiofibular ligament | <anatomy> The distal continuation of the interosseous membrane forming a strong ligament that unites the distal end of the tibia and fibula; it lies deep to the posterior tibiofibular ligament. Synonym: interosseous tibiofibular ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior pelvic exenteration | Removal of the urinary bladder, lower parts of the ureter, vagina, uterus, adnexa, and adjacent lymph nodes; a urinary diversion is necessary. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anteroposterior diameter of the pelvic inlet | Distance from the promontory of the sacrum to the upper posterior edge of the pubic symphysis. Synonym: anteroposterior diameter of the pelvic inlet, conjugata vera, conjugate axis, conjugate diameter of pelvic inlet, diameter mediana, internal conjugate, true conjugate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal pelvic fascia | Including the obturator fascia, covers the muscles that pass from the interior of the pelvis to the thigh. Synonym: fascia pelvis parietalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| visceral pelvic fascia | Covers the pelvic organs and surrounds vessels and nerves in the subperitoneal space. Synonym: endopelvic fascia, fascia pelvis visceralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pelvic | <anatomy> Pertaining to the pelvis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pelvic abscess | An abscess in the pelvic peritoneal cavity, developing as a complication of diffuse peritonitis or of localised peritonitis associated with abdominal or pelvic inflammatory disease, such as salpingitis; the pus frequently collects in the rectovesical or rectouterine pouch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pelvic axis | A hypothetical curved line joining the centre point of each of the four planes of the pelvis, marking the centre of the pelvic cavity at every level. Synonym: axis pelvis, plane of pelvic canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pelvic brim | The upper opening of the true pelvis, bounded anteriorly by the pubic symphysis and the pubic crest on either side, laterally by the iliopectineal lines, and posteriorly by the promontory of the sacrum. Synonym: apertura pelvis superior, aditus pelvis, first parallel pelvic plane, pelvic brim, pelvic inlet, pelvic plane of inlet, plane of inlet. (05 Mar 2000) |
