| pudendal slit | The cleft between the labia majora. Synonym: rima pudendi, fissura pudendi, pudendal cleavage, pudendal slit, rima vulvae, urogenital cleft, vulvar slit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pudendal ulcer | <disease, microbiology> A rare sexually transmitted disease that is caused by Calymmatobacterium granulomatis. This infection is more common in the tropical and subtropical areas such as India, Guyana and new Guinea. There are approximately 100 cases reported annually in the United States. Men are affected more often than women. It is thought to be most commonly acquired through anal intercourse. Symptoms include a small red nodule on the genitalia that may form elevated masses of reddened tissue (granulation tissue). The lesions gradual spread and destroy genital tissue. Diagnosis is via tissue biopsy or culture. Treatment includes antibiotics. (27 Sep 1997) |
| pudendal veins | See: external pudendal veins, internal pudendal vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| small pudendal lip | One of two narrow longitudinal folds of mucous membrane enclosed in the pudendal cleft within the labia majora; posteriorly, they gradually merge into the labia majora and join to form the frenulum labiorum pudendi (fourchette); anteriorly, each labium divides into two portions which unite with those of the opposite side in front of the glans clitoridis to form the prepuce. Synonym: labium minus pudendi, small pudendal lip. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inguinal branches of external pudendal arteries | Branches to the inguinal region which may arise as branches of external pudendal arteries or as direct branches of the femoral artery. Supply skin and subcutaneous tissues, including inguinal lymph nodes. Synonym: rami inguinales arteriae pudendae externae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| external pudendal arteries | Origin, femoral; distribution, skin over pubis, skin over penis and skin of scrotum or labium majus via anterior scrotal (labial) arteries; anastomoses, dorsal artery of penis or clitoris, posterior scrotal or labial arteries. Synonym: arteriae pudendae externae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| external pudendal veins | These correspond to the arteries of the same name; they empty into the great saphenous vein or directly into the femoral vein, and receive the superficial dorsal vein of the penis (clitoris) and the anterior scrotal (or labial) veins. Synonym: venae pudendae externae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| large pudendal lip | One of two rounded folds of integument forming the lateral boundaries of the pudendal cleft. The labia majora are the female homolog of the scrotum. Synonym: labium majus pudendi, large pudendal lip. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frenulum of pudendal lips | The fold connecting the two labia minora posteriorly. Synonym: frenulum labiorum pudendi, fourchette, frenulum labiorum minorum, frenulum of pudendal lips, frenulum pudendi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abdominal internal oblique muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, iliac fascia deep to lateral part of inguinal ligament, anterior half of crest of ilium, and lumbar fascia; insertion, tenth to twelfth ribs and sheath of rectus; some of the fibres from inguinal ligament terminate in the conjoint tendon; action, diminishes capacity of abdomen, flexes lumbar vertebral column (bends thorax forward); nerve supply, lower thoracic. Synonym: musculus obliquus internus abdominis, abdominal internal oblique muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior intercostal branches of internal thoracic artery | One of the arteries supplying the anterior portions of the intercostal spaces of the thoracic wall. Anterior intercostal arteries 1-6 arise as branches of the internal thoracic artery; 7-11 arise as branches of the musculophrenic artery. Synonym: rami intercostales anteriores, rami intercostalis anteriores arteria thoracica interna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior limb of internal capsule | The portion of the internal capsule between the head of the caudate nucleus and the putamen; it lies anterior to the genu of the internal capsule. Synonym: crus anterius capsulae internae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aponeurosis of internal abdominal oblique muscle | <anatomy> Broad, flat tendinous portion of the internal abdominal oblique muscle. The fleshy fibres of the muscle end in the aponeurosis lateral to the semilunar line. The uppermost portion of the aponeurosis is attached to the outer surfaces and lower borders of the seventh to ninth costal cartilages. Of the portion extending between the costoxiphoid margin and the pubis, the upper two-thirds splits into anterior and posterior laminae at the lateral border of the rectus abdominis muscle to contribute to the anterior and posterior walls of the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle as they extend to the midline linea alba. The lower third of the aponeurosis does not split but joins the aponeuroses of the external abdominal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles to form the anterior wall of the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle. The fibres of the portion of the aponeurosis contributing to the rectus sheath decussate with those of the contralateral aponeurosis in the linea alba. The lowermost portion of the aponeurosis blends with the aponeurosis of the transversus abdominis muscle to form the conjoint tendon, attaching to the pubic crest and often the pecten pubis, thus forming the posterior wall of the inguinal canal at the superficial inguinal ring. See: cremasteric fascia, conjoint tendon, rectus sheath. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal tentorial branch of internal carotid artery | <anatomy, artery> A small branch from the cavernous part of the internal carotid artery to the base of the tentorium. Synonym: ramus basalis tentorii arteriae carotidis internae. (05 Mar 2000) |
