| regio vertebralis | The central region of the back, corresponding to the underlying vertebral column. Synonym: regio vertebralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| chorda vertebralis | An obsolete term for notochord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| columna vertebralis | The series of vertebrae that extend from the cranium to the coccyx, providing support and forming a flexible bony case for the spinal cord. Synonym: columna vertebralis, backbone, dorsal spine, rachis, spina dorsalis, spina, spina, spinal column, spine, vertebrarium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus venosus vertebralis | Any of four interconnected venous networks surrounding the vertebral column; anterior external vertebral venous plexus, the small system around the vertebral bodies; posterior external vertebral venous plexus, the extensive system around the vertebral processes; anterior internal vertebral venous plexus, the system running the length of the vertebral canal anterior to the dura; posterior internal vertebral venous plexus, the system running the length of the vertebral canal posterior to the dura; the latter two constitute the epidural venous plexus. Synonym: plexus venosus vertebralis, Batson's plexus, vertebral venous plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus vertebralis | <anatomy, artery> A plexus of autonomic nerves on the vertebral artery derives from the subclavian plexus. Synonym: plexus vertebralis, vertebral plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus vertebralis | <anatomy, nerve> A branch from the stellate ganglion that ascends along the vertebral artery to the level of the axis or atlas, giving branches to the cervical nerves and meninges. Synonym: nervus vertebralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| incisura vertebralis | One of the two concavities above (superior) and below (inferior) the pedicle of a vertebra; the notches of two adjacent vertebrae (plus the intervertebral disc) form an intervertebral foramen. Synonym: incisura vertebralis, intervertebral notch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| theca vertebralis | Single-layered strong membrane, comparable to and continuous with (at foramen magnum) the meningeal layer of the intracranial dura mater of the brain. It does not (in contrast to the dura mater of brain) adhere to the enveloping bony structures (vertebrae) or their periosteum, being separated from the latter by a considerable space, the vertebral epidural space-a true space containing the internal vertebral venous plexus embedded in a matrix of epidural fat. Synonym: dura mater spinalis, endorrhachis, theca vertebralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tubus vertebralis | The canal that contains the spinal cord, spinal meninges, and related structures. It is formed by the vertebral foramina of successive vertebrae of the articulated vertebral column. Synonym: canalis vertebralis, spinal canal, tubus vertebralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae alveolares superiores anteriores | Origin, infraorbital artery within intraorbital canal; distribution, via anterior alveolar canals to upper incisors and canine teeth, mucus membrane of maxillary sinus. Synonym: arteriae alveolares superiores anteriores, anterior superior dental arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae alveolaris inferioris | <anatomy, artery> Branch of inferior alveolar artery to the mylohyoid muscle. Synonym: ramus mylohyoideus arteriae alveolaris inferioris, arteriae alveolaris inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae arcuatae renis | Curved arteries at the corticomedullary border, arising from interlobar arteries and giving rise to interlobular arteries. Synonym: arteriae arcuatae renis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae atriales | Branches of the right and left coronary arteries distributed to the muscle of the atria. Synonym: arteriae atriales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae centrales anterolaterales | Numerous small branches from the sphenoidal part of the middle cerebral arteries supplying the lateral and anterior parts of the corpus striatum. Synonym: arteriae centrales anterolaterales, arteriae thalamostriatae anterolaterales, anterolateral central arteries, anterolateral striate arteries, anterolateral thalamostriate arteries, arteries of cerebral haemorrhage, lenticulostriate arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae centrales anteromediales | Several small branches of the precommunical part of the anterior cerebral artery; they are distributed to the anteromedial part of the corpus striatum part of the thalamus. Synonym: arteriae centrales anteromediales, arteriae thalamostriatae anteromediales, anteromedial thalamostriate arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
