| inferior part | The lowermost portion of a structure relative to the other parts; portion closest to the soles of the feet. See: inferior part of duodenum, inferior part of lingular branch of left pulmonary vein, inferior part of vestibular ganglion. Synonym: pars inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior part of duodenum | pars horizontalis duodeni, inferior part of duodenum, pars inferior duodeni |
| inferior part of lingular branch of left pulmonary vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein draining the inferior lingular bronchopulmonary segment of the left lung. Synonym: pars inferior rami lingularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior part of vestibular ganglion | The lower part of the vestibular ganglion that receives fibres from the macula of the saccule and the ampulla of the posterior saemicircular duct. Synonym: pars inferior ganglii vestibularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior part of vestibulocochlear nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The cochlear part of the acoustic (8th cranial) nerve. The cochlear nerve fibres originate from neurons of the spiral ganglion and project peripherally to cochlear hair cells and centrally to the cochlear nuclei of the brainstem. They mediate the sense of hearing. (12 Dec 1998) |
| inferior pelvic aperture | The lower opening of the true pelvis, bounded anteriorly by the pubic arch, laterally by the rami of the ischium and the sacrotuberous ligament on either side, and posteriorly by these ligaments and the tip of the coccyx. Synonym: apertura pelvis inferior, apertura pelvis minoris, fourth parallel pelvic plane, pelvic outlet, pelvic plane of outlet, plane of outlet. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior petrosal groove | A groove lodging the inferior petrosal sinus, formed by union of similarly named grooves in the petrous part of the temporal bone and the basilar part of the occipital bone. Synonym: sulcus sinus petrosi inferioris, inferior petrosal groove, inferior petrosal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior petrosal sinus | A paired dural venous sinus running in the groove on the petrooccipital fissure connecting the cavernous sinus with the superior bulb of the internal jugular vein. Synonym: sinus petrosus inferior, Englisch's sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior petrosal sulcus | A groove lodging the inferior petrosal sinus, formed by union of similarly named grooves in the petrous part of the temporal bone and the basilar part of the occipital bone.

| inferior phrenic artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, the first paired branch from the abdominal aorta inferior to the diaphragm; distribution, diaphragm; anastomoses, superior phrenic, internal thoracic, and musculophrenic. Synonym: arteria phrenica inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior phrenic lymph nodes | Small lymph nodes associated with the inferior phrenic vessels. Synonym: nodi lymphatici phrenici inferiores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior phrenic vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein that drains the substance of the diaphragm and empties on the right side into the inferior vena cava, on the left side into the left suprarenal vein; often a second vein on the left side passes transversely across the diaphragm anterior to the oesophageal hiatus to enter the inferior vena cava. Synonym: vena phrenica inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior pole | For a structure having a vertically-oriented long axis, the point at the lower end of the axis, nearest the soles of the feet; the lowest point of a structure's surface. See: inferior pole of kidney, inferior pole of testis. Synonym: extremitas inferior, inferior extremity. (05 Mar 2000) |
