| communicating branch of glossopharyngeal nerve with auricular branch of vagus nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A small branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve which joins the auricular branch of the vagus, conveying tactile fibres. Synonym: ramus communicans cum nervo glossopharyngeo, ramus communicans nervi glossopharyngei cum ramo auriculari nervi vagalis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| communicating branch of lacrimal nerve with zygomatic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Nerve branch by which postsynaptic parasympathetic (secretomotor) fibres from the pterygopalatine ganglion are transferred from the zygomatic nerve to the lacrimal nerve (heretofore purely sensory) for distribution to the lacrimal gland. Synonym: ramus communicans nervi lacrimalis cum nervo zygomatico. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of median nerve with ulnar nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of median nerve joining the ulnar nerve in the hand; the anterior interosseous branch of the median nerve may also communicate with the ulnar nerve in the proximal forearm. Synonym: ramus communicans nervi mediani cum nervo ulnari. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of otic ganglion to auriculotemporal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the otic ganglion joining the roots of the auriculotemporal nerve to convey postsynaptic parasympathetic fibres to the parotid gland. Synonym: ramus communicans ganglii otici cum nervo auriculotemporali. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of otic ganglion to chorda tympani | A small branch of the otic ganglion conveying sensory fibres to the chorda tympani. Synonym: ramus communicans cum chorda tympani. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of otic ganglion with medial pterygoid nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of otic ganglion joining the nerve to the medial pterygoid muscle. Synonym: ramus communicans ganglii otici cum nervo pterygoideo mediali. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of otic ganglion with meningeal branch of mandibular nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of otic ganglion to the meningeal branch of mandibular nerve conveying postsynaptic parasympathetic fibres which run back to the main stem of the mandibular nerve for distribution to the parotid gland via the auriculotemporal nerve. Synonym: ramus communicans ganglii otici cum ramo meningeo nervi mandibularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of peroneal artery | <anatomy, artery> The communicating branch of the peroneal (fibular) artery. Synonym: ramus communicans arteriae fibularis, ramus communicans arteriae peroneae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of superior laryngeal nerve with recurrent laryngeal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of internal branch of superior laryngeal nerve communicating with the recurrent laryngeal nerve in the wall of the laryngopharynx supplying sensory fibres to the latter. Synonym: ramus communicans nervi laryngei recurrentis cum ramo laryngeo interno, ramus communicans nervi laryngei superioris cum nervo laryngeo recurrenti, Galen's anastomosis, Galen's nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating haematoma | 1. A cavity due to ruptured myocardial infarction that has been contained by an intact parietal pericardium and communicates with the left ventricle by a narrow neck, 2. A dilation of an artery with actual disruption of one or more layers of its walls, as at the site of puncture as a complication of precutaneous arterial catheterization, rather than with expansion of all layers of the wall. Synonym: communicating haematoma, pulsatile haematoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating hydrocele | Associated with patent processus vaginalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating hydrocephalus | Type of hydrocephalus in which there is an abnormality in cerebrospinal fluid absorption; there is no obstruction to cerebrospinal fluid flow in the ventricular system or where the cerebrospinal fluid passes into the spinal canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating junction | <cell biology> Another name for a gap junction. (05 Jan 1998) |
| communicating rami of spinal nerves | The communicating branches of spinal nerves, small bundles of nerve fibres connecting spinal nerves with sympathetic ganglia; the fibres passing from the ganglion to the spinal nerve are nonmyelinated and are called gray rami communicantes, those passing in the reverse direction are myelinated and are called white rami communicantes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating rami of sympathetic trunk | Short nerves arising from the lateral aspect of the sympathetic trunk conducting nonmyelinated postsynaptic sympathetic nerve fibres from the sympathetic trunk to the initial portions of all 31 pairs of ventral primary rami of spinal nerves for distribution by all parts (including the dorsal primary ramus) of the spinal nerve. The gray rami are the parietal branches of the sympathetic trunks since all postsynaptic fibres to be distributed to the body wall (including limbs) must pass through them. Synonym: communicating branches of sympathetic trunk, communicating rami of sympathetic trunk. (05 Mar 2000) |
