| subclavian plexus | The autonomic plexus accompanying the artery of this name, formed by fibres from the stellate ganglion, and giving off secondary plexus's along the branches of the subclavian. Synonym: plexus subclavius, subclavian plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| subclavian steal | Obstruction of the subclavian artery proximal to the origin of the vertebral artery; blood flow through the vertebral artery is reversed and the subclavian artery thus "steals" cerebral blood, causing symptoms of vertebrobasilar insufficiency (subclavian steal syndrome); manifest during vigorous use of an upper extremity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| subclavian steal syndrome | <syndrome> Aortic arch syndrome, also referred to by many as vertebral-basilar artery disease, carotid artery occlusive syndrome and subclavian steal syndrome is characterised by a constellation of signs and symptoms which occur secondary to abnormalities in the major arteries which extend off of the aortic arch. These abnormalities are structural and most often secondary to the effects of atherosclerosis, blood clots, trauma or a congenital abnormality. Symptoms of this condition include various neurologic symptoms, reduction in pulse and changes in blood pressure. (27 Sep 1997) |
| subclavian sulcus | A groove on the inferior surface of the body of the clavicle to which is attached the subclavius muscle. Synonym: sulcus musculi subclavii, subclavian sulcus, sulcus subclavianus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| subclavian triangle | The triangle bounded by the clavicle, the omohyoid muscle, and the sternocleidomastoid muscle; it contains the subclavian artery and vein. Synonym: fossa supraclavicularis major, trigonum omoclaviculare, greater supraclavicular fossa, omoclavicular triangle, subclavian triangle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| subclavian vein | <anatomy, vein> The continuation of the axillary vein which follows the subclavian artery and then joins the internal jugular vein to form the brachiocephalic vein. (12 Dec 1998) |
| afferent lymphatic | A lymphatic vessel entering, or bringing lymph to, a node. Synonym: vas lymphaticum afferens, afferent vessel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aggregated lymphatic follicles | Lymphoid organs located in the sub mucosal tissue of the mammalian gut containing very high proportions of IgA secreting precursor cells. The patches have B and T dependent regions and germinal centres. A specialised epithelium lies between the patch and the intestine. Involved in gut associated immunity. (18 Nov 1997) |
| aggregated lymphatic follicles of vermiform appendix | Masses of lymphoid tissue in the submucous coat of the vermiform appendix. Synonym: folliculi lymphatici aggregati appendicis vermiformis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aggregated lymphatic nodules | Lymphoid organs located in the sub mucosal tissue of the mammalian gut containing very high proportions of IgA secreting precursor cells. The patches have B and T dependent regions and germinal centres. A specialised epithelium lies between the patch and the intestine. Involved in gut associated immunity. (18 Nov 1997) |
| aortic lymphatic plexus | A plexus of lymph nodes and connecting vessels lying along the lower portion of the abdominal aorta. Synonym: plexus aorticus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac lymphatic ring | A group of lymph nodes surrounding the cardia of the stomach. Synonym: annulus lymphaticus cardiae, cardiac lymphatic ring. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gastric lymphatic follicles | Lymphoid tissue within the lamina propria which, especially in early life, collect in small masses similar to intestinal solitary lymphatic follicles. Synonym: folliculi lymphatici gastrici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coeliac (lymphatic) plexus | A network formed of the efferent and afferent lymphatic vessels of the coeliac lymph nodes and related to the coeliac trunk; the afferent lymphatic vessels bring lymph primarily from structures served by the coeliac artery (stomach, duodenum, pancreas, and visceral aspect of the liver); the efferent vessels drain into the cisterna chyli/thoracic duct via the intestinal lymph trunks. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hemic and lymphatic diseases | Haematologic diseases and diseases of the lymphatic system collectively. Hemic diseases include disorders involving the formed elements (e.g., erythrocyte aggregation, intravascular) and chemical components (e.g., blood protein disorders); lymphatic diseases include disorders relating to lymph, lymph nodes, and lymphocytes.
