| inferior trunk of brachial plexus | The nerve bundle formed by the union of the ventral rami of the eighth cervical and first thoracic nerves; it provides fibres to the posterior and medial cords (fasciculi) of the brachial plexus. Synonym: truncus inferior plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| infraclavicular part of brachial plexus | The part of the brachial plexus that extends from the level of the clavicle downward into the axilla; it includes the cords of the plexus and their branches. Synonym: pars infraclavicularis plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trunks of brachial plexus | The superior, middle, and inferior trunks; they divide distally to form the cords (fasciculi) of the plexus. Synonym: trunci plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral cord of brachial plexus | In the brachial plexus, the bundle of nerve fibres formed by the anterior divisions of the superior and middle trunks which is located lateral to the axillary artery. This cord gives off the lateral pectoral nerve and terminates by dividing into the musculocutaneous nerve and the lateral root of the median nerve. Synonym: fasciculus lateralis plexus brachialis.

| accessory hemiazygos vein | <anatomy, vein> Formed by the union of the fourth to seventh left posterior intercostal veins, passes along the side of the bodies of the fifth, sixth, and seventh thoracic vertebrae, then crosses the midline behind the aorta, oesophagus, and thoracic duct, and empties into the azygos vein, sometimes in common with the hemiazygos vein. Synonym: vena hemiazygos accessoria, vena azygos minor superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory saphenous vein | <anatomy, vein> An occasional vein running in the thigh parallel to the great saphenous vein which it joins just before the latter empties into the femoral vein. Synonym: vena saphena accessoria. (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) |
| accompanying vein | A vein accompanying another structure. Synonym: accompanying vein, companion vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accompanying vein of hypoglossal nerve | Runs with the hypoglossal nerve below and lateral to the hyoglossus muscle, emptying usually into the lingual vein. Synonym: accompanying vein of hypoglossal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angular vein | <anatomy, vein> A short vein at the medial angle of the eye, formed by the supraorbital and supratrochlear veins's and continuing as the facial vein. Synonym: vena angularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior auricular vein | <anatomy, vein> One of several veins draining the auricle and acoustic meatus and emptying into the retromandibular vein. Synonym: vena auricularis anterior, vena preauricularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior cerebral vein | <anatomy, vein> A small vein that parallels the anterior cerebral artery and drains into the basal vein. Synonym: vena cerebri anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior facial vein | <anatomy, vein> A continuation of the angular vein at the medial angle of the eye. It passes diagonally downward and outward, joining with the retromandibular vein below the border of the lower jaw before emptying into the internal jugular vein. Synonym: anterior facial vein, vena facialis anterior, vena facialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior jugular vein | <anatomy, vein> It arises below the chin from veins draining the lower lip and mental region, descends the anterior portion of the neck superficially, and terminates in the external jugular vein at the lateral border of the scalenus anterior muscle.
