| Ricinus communis agglutinin | <protein> Lectin (120 kD) from castor bean, with specificity similar to ricin, but much less toxic. (18 Nov 1997) |
| musculus extensor digitorum communis | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lateral epicondyle of humerus; insertion, by four tendons into the base of the proximal and middle and base of the second and third phalanges of 4 fingers; action, extends fingers and hand; nerve supply, radial (posterior interosseous).

| nervus fibularis communis | <anatomy, nerve> One of the terminal divisions of the sciatic nerve, diverging from the tibial nerve at the upper end of the popliteal fossa, then coursing with the biceps tendon along the lateral portion of the popliteal space to wind around the neck of the fibula where it divides into the superficial and deep peroneal nerves. The common peroneal nerve, or its deep branch, is the most commonly injured nerve, being located in a lateral subcutaneous position at the fibular neck; a lesion causes a loss of ability to dorsiflex the foot ("foot drop"). Synonym: nervus fibularis communis, nervus peroneus communis, common fibular nerve, lateral popliteal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
