| dorsal metatarsal ligaments | Fibrous bands that connect the dorsal aspects of the bases of the metatarsals. Synonym: ligamenta metatarsalia dorsalia. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| dorsal metatarsal veins | Veins arising from the dorsal digital veins forming the dorsal venous arch of the foot. Synonym: venae metatarseae dorsales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interosseous metatarsal ligaments | Fibrous bands that connect the bases of the metatarsals; they extend between the dorsal and plantar metatarsal ligaments. Synonym: ligamenta metatarsalia interossea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interosseous metatarsal spaces | The spaces between the metatarsal bones in the foot. Synonym: spatia interossea metatarsi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse metatarsal ligament | <anatomy> The ligament that interconnects the plantar surface of the heads of the metatarsals, being continuous with the plantar ligaments. Synonym: ligamentum metatarsale transversum profundum, transverse metatarsal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bicipital tuberosity | An oval projection from the medial surface of the radius just distal to the neck, giving attachment on its posterior half to the tendon of the biceps. Synonym: tuberositas radii, bicipital tuberosity, tuber radii, tuberosity of radius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| burns, first degree | A first degree burn is superficial and has similar characteristics to a typical sun burn. The skin is red in colour and sensation is intact. In fact, it is usually somewhat painful. (12 Dec 1998) |
| calcaneal tuberosity | The posterior extremity of the calcaneus, or os calcis, forming the projection of the heel. Synonym: tuber calcanei, calcaneal tuber, tuber calcis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radial tuberosity | An oval projection from the medial surface of the radius just distal to the neck, giving attachment on its posterior half to the tendon of the biceps. Synonym: tuberositas radii, bicipital tuberosity, tuber radii, tuberosity of radius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventriculography, first-pass | Radionuclide ventriculography where a bolus of radionuclide is injected and data are recorded from one pass through the heart ventricle. Left and right ventricular function can be analyzed independently during this technique. First-pass ventriculography is preferred over gated blood pool imaging for assessing right ventricular function. (12 Dec 1998) |
| masseteric tuberosity | A roughened surface on the external aspect of the angle of the mandible, giving attachment to fibres of the masseter muscle. Synonym: tuberositas masseterica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| maxillary tuberosity | The bulging lower extremity of the posterior surface of the body of the maxilla, behind the root of the last molar tooth. Synonym: tuber maxillae, eminentia maxillae, maxillary eminence. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial femoral tuberosity | The epicondylus located proximal to the medial condyle. Synonym: epicondylus medialis ossis femoris, medial femoral tuberosity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial process of calcaneal tuberosity | The medial projection from the posterior part of the calcaneus. Synonym: processus medialis tuberis calcanei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gluteal tuberosity | The point of insertion on the upper portion of the shaft of the femur of the greater part of the gluteus maximus muscle; when markedly developed this tuberosity is called the third trochanter. Synonym: trochanter tertius, tuberositas glutea, crista glutea, gluteal crest, gluteal ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
