| transverse ligament of pelvis | <anatomy> The thickened anterior border of the urogenital diaphragm, formed by the fusion of its two fascial layers. Synonym: ligamentum transversum perinei, Krause's ligament, ligamentum transversum pelvis, transverse ligament of pelvis, transverse ligament of perineum. (05 Mar 2000) |

| transverse ligament of perineum | <anatomy> The thickened anterior border of the urogenital diaphragm, formed by the fusion of its two fascial layers. Synonym: ligamentum transversum perinei, Krause's ligament, ligamentum transversum pelvis, transverse ligament of pelvis, transverse ligament of perineum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse ligament of the atlas | Thick, strong, centrally flattened band spanning the vertebral foramen of the atlas as it extends from the medial aspect of one lateral mass to the other, passing dorsal to the dens with which it articulates; it forms the dorsal portion of the opening for the dens, tightly embracing its neck. It forms a part of the "cross-bar" of the cruciform ligament of the atlas. See: cruciform ligament of atlas. Synonym: ligamentum transversum atlantis, Lauth's ligament, transverse atlantal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse metacarpal ligament | <anatomy> The ligament that interconnects the palmar surface of the heads of the second to fifth metacarpals, being continuous with the palmar ligaments on palmar plates; it lies in the plane of the palmar interosseous fascia. Synonym: ligamentum metacarpale transversum profundum, transverse metacarpal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse perineal ligament | <anatomy> The thickened anterior border of the urogenital diaphragm, formed by the fusion of its two fascial layers. Synonym: ligamentum transversum perinei, Krause's ligament, ligamentum transversum pelvis, transverse ligament of pelvis, transverse ligament of perineum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse tibiofibular ligament | <anatomy> The distal continuation of the interosseous membrane forming a strong ligament that unites the distal end of the tibia and fibula; it lies deep to the posterior tibiofibular ligament. Synonym: interosseous tibiofibular ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| base of metatarsal bone | The expanded proximal extremity of each metatarsal bone; it articulates with one or more of the distal row of tarsal bones. Synonym: basis ossis metatarsalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| perforating branches of plantar metatarsal arteries | The perforating branches of the plantar metatarsal arteries, three small arteries that pass dorsally through the second, third, and fourth interosseous spaces of the foot from the plantar metatarsal arteries. Synonym: ramus perforantes arteriarum metatarsearum plantarium, perforating arteries of foot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metatarsal | One of five bones that travel out to each toe in the foot. The metatarsals articulate with the tarsal bones in the hindfoot and the phalanges (toes) in the forefoot. (27 Sep 1997) |
| metatarsal artery | <anatomy, artery> One of four dorsal or four plantar arteries coursing in relation to the metatarsal bones, each dividing distally into a medial and a lateral digital artery, serving the dorsal or plantar aspects of adjacent sides of two toes. See: dorsal metatarsal artery, plantar metatarsal artery. Synonym: arteria metatarsae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metatarsal bone | One of the metatarsal bones; the five long bones numbered I to V beginning with the bone on the medial side forming the skeleton of the anterior portion of the foot, articulating posteriorly with the three cuneiform and the cuboid bones, anteriorly with the five proximal phalanges. Synonym: os metatarsale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metatarsal bones | The five long bones of the metatarsus articulating with the tarsal bones proximally and the toes (phalanges) distally. (12 Dec 1998) |
| metatarsal reflex | Flexion of the toes on tapping over the cuboid bone; almost identical with Guillain-Barre reflex, and fundamentally similar to Rossolimo's reflex. Synonym: metatarsal reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plantar metatarsal artery | <anatomy, artery> One of four branches of the plantar arterial arch that divide into plantar digital arteries to supply the toes. Synonym: arteria metatarsea plantaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plantar metatarsal ligaments | Fibrous bands connecting the plantar aspects of the bases of the metatarsals. Synonym: ligamenta metatarsalia plantaria. (05 Mar 2000) |
