faeces (분, 분변
| elevator muscle of scapula | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, from posterior tubercles of transverse processes of four upper cervical vertebrae; insertion, into superior angle of scapula; action, raises the scapula; nerve supply, dorsal scapular nerve. Synonym: musculus levator scapulae, elevator muscle of scapula, musculus levator anguli scapulae. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| transverse vein of scapula | <anatomy, vein> Vein that accompanies the suprascapular artery and empties into the external jugular vein. Synonym: vena suprascapularis, transverse vein of scapula, vena transversa scapulae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral angle of scapula | The blunt, concave head of the scapula forming the glenoid cavity at the junction of the superior and lateral borders of the bone. Synonym: angulus lateralis scapulae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral border of scapula | The edge of the scapula extending from the glenoid fossa to the inferior angle. Synonym: margo lateralis scapulae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory vertebral vein | <anatomy, vein> A vein that accompanies the vertebral vein but passes through the foramen of the transverse process of the seventh cervical vertebra and opens independently into the brachiocephalic vein. Synonym: vena vertebralis accessoria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior vertebral scalloping | <radiology> Hodgkin's disease, aortic aneurysm, tuberculosis of the spine (12 Dec 1998) |
| anterior vertebral vein | <anatomy, vein> The small vein that accompanies the ascending cervical artery; it opens below into the vertebral vein. Synonym: vena vertebralis anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| artery, vertebral | A key artery located in the back of the neck that carries blood from the heart to the brain. (12 Dec 1998) |
| atlantic part of vertebral artery | <anatomy, artery> Suboccipital part of vertebral artery. See: vertebral artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| veins of vertebral column | Includes the internal and external vertebral venous plexuses, the basivertebral veins, and the anterior and posterior spinal veins. Synonym: venae columnae vertebralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertebral | <anatomy> Of or pertaining to a vertebra. Origin: L. Vertebralis (18 Nov 1997) |
| vertebral arch | The posterior projection from the body of a vertebra that encloses the vertebral foramen; it consists of paired pedicles and laminae; the spinous, transverse, and articular processes arise from the arch. In aggregate, the venous arches-and the ligamenta flava that unite them-form the posterior wall of the vertebral (spinal) canal. Synonym: arcus vertebrae, neural arch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertebral artery | <anatomy, artery> Paired arteries which supply the muscles of the neck, spinal cord and cerebellum. (27 Sep 1997) |
| vertebral-basilar artery disease | <cardiology> 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) |
| vertebral-basilar system | The arterial complex comprising the two vertebral arteries joining to form the basilar artery, and their immediate branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
