| superior branch of the superior gluteal artery | <anatomy, artery> Runs between gluteus medius and minimus muscles, supplying both, and continuing to reach tensor fascia lata muscle. Synonym: ramus superior arteriae gluteae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| superior gluteal artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, internal iliac; distribution, gluteal region; anastomoses, lateral sacral, inferior gluteal, internal pudendal, deep circumflex iliac, lateral circumflex femoral. Synonym: arteria glutea superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior gluteal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the fourth and fifth lumbar and first sacral nerves, and supplies the gluteus medius and minimus and tensor fasciae latae muscles (abductors and medial rotators of the hip joint). A lesion of this nerve causes the pelvis to drop on the unsupported side when the foot is lifted off the ground (Trendelenburg sign). Synonym: nervus gluteus superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior gluteal veins | The veins that accompany the superior gluteal artery, entering the pelvis as two veins which unite into one and empty into the internal iliac vein. Synonym: venae gluteae superiores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior branch of superior gluteal artery | <anatomy, artery> Distribution: gluteus medius and minimus muscles; anastomosis: lateral circumflex femoral artery. Synonym: ramus inferior arteriae gluteae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior gluteal artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, internal iliac; distribution, hip joint and gluteal region; anastomoses, branches of internal pudendal, lateral sacral, superior gluteal, obturator, medial and lateral circumflex femoral. Synonym: arteria glutea inferior, arteria ischiadica, arteria ischiatica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior gluteal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the fifth lumbar and first and second sacral nerves, and supplies the gluteus maximus muscle. It is subject to injury by compression and ischemia in sedentary individuals, resulting in difficulty in rising from a sitting position and difficulty climbing stairs. Synonym: nervus gluteus inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior gluteal veins | The venae comitantes of the inferior gluteal artery uniting at the sciatic foramen to form a common trunk which empties into the internal iliac vein. Synonym: venae gluteae inferiores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermuscular gluteal bursa | <anatomy> Two or three small bursae between the tendon of the gluteus maximus and the linea aspera. Synonym: bursa intermuscularis musculorum gluteorum, intermuscular gluteal bursa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior axillary line | A vertical line extending inferiorly from the posterior axillary fold. Synonym: linea axillaris posterior, linea postaxillaris, postaxillary line. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior junction line | Radiographic image of the mediastinal septum between the upper lobes behind the oesophagus, above the aortic arch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior median line | The line of intersection of the midsagittal plane with the posterior surface of the body. Synonym: linea mediana posterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolonasal line | A line connecting the alveolar point and the nasion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Amberg's lateral sinus line | A line dividing the angle formed by the anterior edge of the mastoid process and the temporal line. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anocutaneous line | The line between the simple columnar epithelium of the rectum and the stratified epithelium of the anal canal. Synonym: linea anocutanea, anocutaneous line, dentate line. (05 Mar 2000) |
