| long root of ciliary ganglion | Sensory fibres passing from the eyeball through the ciliary ganglion to their cell bodies in the trigeminal ganglion via the nasociliary nerve. Synonym: radix sensoria ganglii ciliaris, ramus communicans nervi nasociliaris cum ganglio ciliari, radix nasociliaris, long root of ciliary ganglion, nasociliary root, radix longa ganglii ciliaris.

| submandibular | Beneath the mandible or lower jaw. Synonym: inframandibular, submaxillary. (05 Mar 2000) |
| submandibular duct | The duct of the submandibular salivary gland; it opens at the sublingual papilla near the frenulum of the tongue. Synonym: ductus submandibularis, ductus submaxillaris, submaxillary duct, Wharton's duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| submandibular fossa | The depression on the medial surface of the body of the mandible inferior to the mylohyoid line in which the submandibular gland is lodged. Synonym: fovea submandibularis, fossa submandibularis, fovea submaxillaris, submaxillary fossa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| submandibular gland | The second largest of the three major salivary glands. It is located deep to the mandible (jaw bone). (12 Dec 1998) |
| submandibular lymph nodes | Four or five nodes that lie between the mandible and the submandibular gland; they receive vessels from the face below the eye and from the tongue and drain into the superior deep cervical nodes, particularly the jugulodigastric node. Synonym: nodi lymphatici submandibulares. (05 Mar 2000) |
| submandibular triangle | The triangle of the neck bounded by the mandible and the two bellies of the digastric muscle; it contains the submandibular gland. Synonym: trigonum submandibulare, digastric triangle, submaxillary triangle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglia, sensory | Clusters of neurons in the somatic peripheral nervous system which contain the cell bodies of sensory nerve axons. Sensory ganglia may also have intrinsic interneurons and non-neuronal supporting cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| receptors, sensory | Specialised neurons or parts of neurons which transduce sensory information and relay it centrally. Included are receptors for stimuli outside the body (exteroceptors) as well as receptors for stimuli from within the body itself (interoceptors and proprioceptors). Sensory receptors may include accessory structures which condition (e.g., filter) the input received by the receptor neurons themselves. (12 Dec 1998) |
| principal sensory nucleus of the trigeminus | <anatomy, nerve> The term commonly used to designate the nucleus pontis nervi trigeminalis; located in pons lateral to the motor trigeminal nucleus; receives primary sensory (touch and pressure) input via the trigeminal nerve, projects to ventral posteromedial nucleus of thalamus. Synonym: nucleus sensorius principalis nervi trigemini, nucleus sensorius superior nervi trigemini, principal sensory nucleus of the trigeminus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| principal sensory nucleus of trigeminal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The term commonly used to designate the nucleus pontis nervi trigeminalis; located in pons lateral to the motor trigeminal nucleus; receives primary sensory (touch and pressure) input via the trigeminal nerve, projects to ventral posteromedial nucleus of thalamus. Synonym: nucleus sensorius principalis nervi trigemini, nucleus sensorius superior nervi trigemini, principal sensory nucleus of the trigeminus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hereditary sensory radicular neuropathy | Neuropathy characterised by the occurrence of severe, relapsing foot ulcerations of neuropathic origin, destruction of terminal digits of feet and hands, and a loss of sensation; autosomal dominant inheritance is associated with onset in the second decade or later. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary sensory cortex | A cortical region occupying the parietal operculum (upper lip of the lateral sulcus) closely posterior to the foot of the postcentral gyrus; like the primary somatic-sensory cortex of the postcentral gyrus, this region receives sensory impulses originating in face, trunk, and limbs; projections to the s.s.c. Are from the ventral basal complex (ventral posteromedial and posterolateral thalamic nuclei) and from the primary somesthetic cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary sensory nuclei | Nuclei terminales, collective term indicating those nerve cell groups in the rhombencephalon and spinal cord in which the afferent fibres of the spinal and cranial nerves terminate. Synonym: nuclei terminationis, secondary sensory nuclei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory | <otolaryngology> Pertaining to or subserving sensation. Origin: L. Sensorius (18 Nov 1997) |
