| foramen bursae omentalis majoris | <anatomy, embryology> A foramen produced by two folds of peritoneum, that covering the common/proper hepatic artery on the right and that covering the left gastric artery on the left, which encroach upon and constrict the omental bursa. It forms a communication between the superior recess of the lesser sac which lies above it and the remainder of the omental bursa. (12 Sep 2002) |

| gluteus | <anatomy> Same as Glutaeus. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| gluteus maximus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, ilium behind posterior gluteal line, posterior surface of sacrum and coccyx, and sacrotuberous ligament; insertion, iliotibial band of fascia lata (superficial three-quarters) and gluteal ridge (deep inferior one-quarter) of femur; action, extends thigh, especially from the flexed position, as in climbing stairs or rising from a sitting position; nerve supply, inferior gluteal. Synonym: musculus gluteus maximus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gluteus maximus gait | Compensatory backward propulsion of trunk to maintain centre of gravity over the supporting lower extremity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gluteus minimus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, ilium between anterior and inferior gluteal lines; insertion, greater trochanter of femur; action, abducts thigh; nerve supply, superior gluteal. Synonym: musculus gluteus minimus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gluteus minimus bursa | <anatomy> A fairly large bursa usually located between the gluteus minimus and the greater trochanter. Synonym: bursa trochanterica musculi glutei minimi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus gluteus maximus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, ilium behind posterior gluteal line, posterior surface of sacrum and coccyx, and sacrotuberous ligament; insertion, iliotibial band of fascia lata (superficial three-quarters) and gluteal ridge (deep inferior one-quarter) of femur; action, extends thigh, especially from the flexed position, as in climbing stairs or rising from a sitting position; nerve supply, inferior gluteal. Synonym: musculus gluteus maximus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus gluteus minimus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, ilium between anterior and inferior gluteal lines; insertion, greater trochanter of femur; action, abducts thigh; nerve supply, superior gluteal. Synonym: musculus gluteus minimus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus gluteus inferior | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the fifth lumbar and first and second sacral nerves, and supplies the gluteus maximus muscle. It is subject to injury by compression and ischemia in sedentary individuals, resulting in difficulty in rising from a sitting position and difficulty climbing stairs. Synonym: nervus gluteus inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus gluteus superior | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the fourth and fifth lumbar and first sacral nerves, and supplies the gluteus medius and minimus and tensor fasciae latae muscles (abductors and medial rotators of the hip joint). A lesion of this nerve causes the pelvis to drop on the unsupported side when the foot is lifted off the ground (Trendelenburg sign). Synonym: nervus gluteus superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus gluteus | A prominent fold that marks the upper limit of the thigh from the lower limit of the buttock; it coincides with the lower border of the gluteus maximus muscle; the furrow between the buttock and thigh. Synonym: sulcus gluteus, gluteal furrow. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus alveolaris superior medius nervi infraorbitalis | Synonym: middle superior alveolar branch of infraorbital nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus meningeus medius nervi maxillaris | <anatomy, nerve> Recurrent branch of maxillary nerve distributed with the anterior branch of the middle meningeal arteyr to the meninges of the anterior portion of the middle cranial fossa. Synonym: ramus meningeus medius nervi maxillaris, middle meningeal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medius | Origin: NL, fr. L. Medius middle. See Medium. <anatomy> The third or middle finger; the third digit, or that which corresponds to it. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| 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) |
