| plexus brachialis | A network of lower cervical and upper dorsal spinal nerves supplying the arm, forearm and hand. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| musculus brachialis | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lower two-thirds of anterior surface of humerus; insertion, coronoid process of ulna; action, flexes elbow; nerve supply, musculocutaneous, usually with a minor contribution from the radial. Synonym: musculus brachialis, brachial muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trunci plexus brachialis | The superior, middle, and inferior trunks; they divide distally to form the cords (fasciculi) of the plexus. Synonym: trunci plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| truncus inferior plexus brachialis | The nerve bundle formed by the union of the ventral rami of the eighth cervical and first thoracic nerves; it provides fibres to the posterior and medial cords (fasciculi) of the brachial plexus. Synonym: truncus inferior plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| truncus medius plexus brachialis | The continuation of the ventral ramus of the seventh cervical nerve; it contributes fibres to the posterior and lateral cords (fasciculi) of the brachial plexus. Synonym: truncus medius plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| truncus superior plexus brachialis | The nerve bundle formed by the union of the ventral rami of the fifth and sixth cervical nerves and some fibres from the fourth; it contributes fibres to the posterior and lateral cords (fasciculi) of the brachial plexus. Synonym: truncus superior plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facies brachialis anterior | Area between deltoid region superiorly and anterior region of elbow inferiorly. Synonym: facies brachialis anterior, regio brachialis anterior, anterior surface of arm, facies anterior brachii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fasciculus lateralis plexus brachialis | In the brachial plexus, the bundle of nerve fibres formed by the anterior divisions of the superior and middle trunks which is located lateral to the axillary artery. This cord gives off the lateral pectoral nerve and terminates by dividing into the musculocutaneous nerve and the lateral root of the median nerve. Synonym: fasciculus lateralis plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fasciculus medialis plexus brachialis | In the brachial plexus, the bundle of nerve fibres formed by the anterior division of the inferior trunk which lies medial to the axillary artery; it gives off the medial pectoral nerve, the medial brachial cutaneous, and medial antebrachial cutaneous, nerves and end by dividing into the medial root of the median nerves and the ulnar nerve. Synonym: fasciculus medialis plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| regio | Synonym: region. Origin: L. (05 Mar 2000) |
| regio analis | The posterior portion of the perineal region through which the anal canal opens; bounded by a line through both isehial tuberosities, the sacrotuberous ligaments and the coccyx. Synonym: regio analis, anal region. (05 Mar 2000) |
| regio antebrachialis anterior | The area between the radial and ulnar borders of the forearm anteriorly. Synonym: facies antebrachialis anterior, regio antebrachialis anterior, anterior antebrachial region, anterior surface of forearm, facies anterior antebrachii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| regio axillaris | The region of the axilla, including the axillary fossa. Synonym: regio axillaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| regio buccalis | The region of the cheek, corresponding approximately to the outlines of the underlying buccinator muscle. Synonym: regio buccalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| regio calcanea | The region of the heel. Synonym: regio calcanea. (05 Mar 2000) |
