| gluteus medius gait | Compensatory list of body (or throw of trunk) to weak gluteal side, to put centre of gravity over the supporting lower extremity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pedunculus cerebellaris medius | The largest of three paired cerebellar peduncles, composed mainly of fibres that originate in the pontine nuclei, cross the midline in the ventral part of pons, and emerge on the opposite side as a massive bundle arching dorsally along the lateral side of the pontine tegmentum into the cerebellum; its fibres are distributed chiefly to the cortex of the cerebellar hemisphere. Synonym: pedunculus cerebellaris medius, brachium pontis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gyrus frontalis medius | A convolution on the convexity of each frontal lobe of the cerebrum running in an anteroposterior direction between the superior and inferior frontal sulci. Synonym: gyrus frontalis medius, middle frontal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gyrus temporalis medius | A longitudinal gyrus on the lateral surface of the temporal lobe, between the superior and inferior temporal sulci. Synonym: gyrus temporalis medius, middle temporal convolution, second temporal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus sacralis medius | A lymphatic plexus formed of lymph nodes and connecting vessels situated chiefly in the mesorectum anterior and inferior to the sacral promontory. Synonym: plexus sacralis medius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus constrictor pharyngis medius | Origin, stylohyoid ligament, lesser cornu of the hyoid bone (chondropharyngeal part) and greater cornu of the hyoid bone (ceratopharyngeal part); insertion, pharyngeal raphe in the posterior wall of the pharynx; action, narrows pharynx in the act of swallowing; nerve supply, pharyngeal plexus. Synonym: musculus constrictor pharyngis medius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus gluteus medius | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, ilium between anterior and posterior gluteal lines; insertion, lateral surface of greater trochanter; action, abducts and rotates thigh; nerve supply, superior gluteal. Synonym: musculus gluteus medius, mesogluteus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus cardiacus cervicalis medius | <anatomy, nerve> One of the cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves conveying postsynaptic sympathetic fibres running downward, from the middle cervical ganglion along the subclavian artery (on the left) or the brachiocephalic (on the right side) to join the cardiac plexus. Synonym: nervus cardiacus cervicalis medius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodus rectalis medius | A lymph node along the middle rectal artery that receives afferents from the pararectal nodes and sends efferents to the internal iliac nodes. Synonym: middle rectal node, nodus rectalis medius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus frontalis medius | A relatively shallow sagittal fissure of the brain dividing the middle frontal convolution into an upper and lower part; this sulcus is found only in humans and anthropoid apes; at its anterior extremity it bifurcates, the two branches spreading out laterally and constituting the frontomarginal sulcus. Synonym: median frontal sulcus, sulcus frontalis medius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus temporalis medius | The sulcus between the middle temporal gyrus and inferior temporal gyrus. Synonym: sulcus temporalis medius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| digitus medius | Third finger. Synonym: digitus medius, digitus tertius, third finger. (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) |
| lacertus medius | <anatomy> The wide fibrous band interconnecting the anterior surfaces of the vertebral bodies. Synonym: lacertus medius, ligamentum longitudinale anterius. (05 Mar 2000) |
