| arteria collateralis ulnaris superior | <anatomy, artery> Origin, brachial; distribution, elbow joint; anastomoses, posterior ulnar recurrent and inferior ulnar collateral, as part of the articular vascular network of the elbow. Synonym: arteria collateralis ulnaris superior. (05 Mar 2000) |

| arteria recurrens ulnaris | <anatomy, artery> Origin, ulnar artery; distribution, two branches, anterior and posterior, pass medially in front of and behind the elbow joint; anastomoses, superior and inferior ulnar collateral, i.e., with articular vascular network of elbow. Synonym: arteria recurrens ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria ulnaris | <anatomy, artery> The larger of the two terminal branches of the brachial artery, beginning about one centimeter distal to the bend of the elbow. Like the radial artery, its branches may be divided into three groups corresponding to their locations in the forearm, wrist, and hand. (12 Dec 1998) |

| vagina tendinis musculi extensoris carpi ulnaris | The synovial sheath surrounding the tendon of the extensor carpi ulnaris in its course deep to the extensor retinaculum. Synonym: vagina tendinis musculi extensoris carpi ulnaris, peritenon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami dorsales nervi ulnaris | <anatomy, nerve> Branch arising from the ulnar nerve proximal to the wrist for distribution to the medial side of the dorsum of the hand and proximal portion of the little finger and medial side of ring finger. Synonym: rami dorsales nervi ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| margo ulnaris antebrachii | An alternate term for medial border of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus extensor carpi ulnaris | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lateral epicondyle of humerus (humeral head) and oblique line and posterior border of ulna (ulnar head); insertion, base of fifth metacarpal bone; action, extends and abducts wrist ulnarward; nerve supply, radial (posterior interosseous). Synonym: musculus extensor carpi ulnaris, ulnar extensor muscle of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus flexor carpi ulnaris | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, humeral head from medial condyle of humerus, ulnar head from olecranon and upper three-fifths of posterior border of ulna; insertion, pisiform bone, but is continued to the fifth metacarpal bone via the pisometacarpal ligament; action, flexes and abducts wrist ulnarward; nerve supply, ulnar. Synonym: musculus flexor carpi ulnaris, ulnar flexor muscle of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus ulnaris | <anatomy, nerve> A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans, the fibres of the ulnar nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually c7 to t1), travel via the medial cord of the brachial plexus, and supply sensory and motor innervation to parts of the hand and forearm. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulcus nervi ulnaris | <anatomy, nerve> A furrow on the posterior surface of the medial epicondyle of the humerus, lodging the ulnar nerve. Synonym: sulcus nervi ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| incisura ulnaris | The concave surface on the medial side of the distal end of the radius which articulates with the head of the ulna. Synonym: incisura ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendon sheath of extensor carpi ulnaris muscle | The synovial sheath surrounding the tendon of the extensor carpi ulnaris in its course deep to the extensor retinaculum. Synonym: vagina tendinis musculi extensoris carpi ulnaris, peritenon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eminentia carpi ulnaris | ulnar eminence of wrist |
