| brachiocephalic trunk | The first and largest artery branching from the aortic arch. It distributes blood to the right side of the head and neck and to the right arm. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| bronchomediastinal trunk | A lymphatic vessel arising from the union of the efferent lymphatics from the tracheo-bronchial and mediastinal nodes on either side. On the left side, it may be largely replaced by direct drainage into the thoracic duct. Synonym: truncus bronchiomediastinalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vagal trunk | One of the two nerve bundles, anterior and posterior, into which the oesophageal plexus continues as it passes through the diaphragm. Synonym: truncus vagalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| valve of pulmonary trunk | <anatomy, cardiology> The heart valve that divides the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. The pulmonic valve opens when the right ventricle contracts allowing blood to flow into the pulmonary artery. The pulmonic valve on closure prohibits the backwash of unoxygenated blood into the right ventricle. The pulmonic valve has 3 valve cusps. (27 Sep 1997) |
| ganglia of sympathetic trunk | The clusters of postganglionic neurons located at intervals along the sympathetic trunks, including the superior cervical, middle cervical, and cervicothoracic (stellate) ganglion, the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral ganglia, and the ganglion impar. Synonym: ganglia trunci sympathici, paravertebral ganglia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglion of trunk of vagus | <anatomy, nerve> A large sensory ganglion of the vagus, anterior to the internal jugular vein. Synonym: ganglion inferius nervi vagi, ganglion of trunk of vagus, nodose ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gastric branches of anterior vagal trunk | Anterior gastric branches of the vagus; branches of the anterior vagal trunk to the anterior surface of the stomach. Synonym: rami gastrici anteriores nervi vagi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gastric branches of posterior vagal trunk | Posterior gastric branches; branches of the posterior vagal trunk to the posterior surface of the stomach. Synonym: rami gastrici posteriores nervi vagi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle trunk of brachial plexus | The continuation of the ventral ramus of the seventh cervical nerve; it contributes fibres to the posterior and lateral cords (fasciculi) of the brachial plexus. Synonym: truncus medius plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coeliac trunk | Origin, abdominal aorta just below diaphragm; branches, left gastric, common hepatic, splenic. Synonym: truncus coeliacus, arteria coeliaca, coeliac artery, coeliac axis, Haller's tripod. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branches of sympathetic trunk | Short nerves arising from the lateral aspect of the sympathetic trunk conducting nonmyelinated postsynaptic sympathetic nerve fibres from the sympathetic trunk to the initial portions of all 31 pairs of ventral primary rami of spinal nerves for distribution by all parts (including the dorsal primary ramus) of the spinal nerve. The gray rami are the parietal branches of the sympathetic trunks since all postsynaptic fibres to be distributed to the body wall (including limbs) must pass through them. Synonym: communicating branches of sympathetic trunk, communicating rami of sympathetic trunk. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: communicating branches of sympathetic trunk, communicating rami of sympathetic trunk. (05 Mar 2000) |
| costocervical trunk | A short artery that arises from the subclavian artery on each side and divides into deep cervical and superior intercostal branches, the latter dividing usually to form the first and second posterior intercostal arteries. Synonym: truncus costocervicalis, costocervical artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary trunk | Origin, right ventricle of heart; distribution, it divides into the right pulmonary artery and the left pulmonary artery, which enter the corresponding lungs and branch along with the segmental bronchi. Synonym: truncus pulmonalis, arteria pulmonalis, pulmonary artery, venous artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nerve trunk | A collection of funiculi or bundles of nerve fibres enclosed in a connective tissue sheath, the epineurium. (05 Mar 2000) |
