|---|---|
| medial cutaneous nerve of arm | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus, unites in the axilla with the lateral cutaneous branch of the second intercostal nerve, and supplies the skin of the medial side of the arm. Synonym: nervus cutaneus brachii medialis, lesser internal cutaneous nerve, medial cutaneous nerve of arm, Wrisberg's nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retention arm | A flexible segment of a removable partial denture that engages an undercut on an abutment and is designed to retain the denture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retentive circumferential clasp arm | An arm that is flexible and engages the infrabulge at the terminal end of the arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circumferential clasp arm | A clasp arm which has its origin in a minor connector and which follows the contour of the tooth approximately in a plane perpendicular to the path of insertion of the partial denture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| clasp arm | A portion of a clasp of a removable partial denture which projects from the clasp body and helps retain the partial denture in position in the mouth. See: clasp. (05 Mar 2000) |
| whole-arm fusion | <genetics, molecular biology> A break in the shortest arms of two acrocentric chromosomes followed by the fusion of the long arms into a single chromosome. (13 Nov 1997) |
| control arm | The group of participants in a clinical trial who receive standard treatment or a placebo, against which those receiving the experimental treatment are compared. (09 Oct 1997) |
| posterior cutaneous nerve of arm | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the radial nerve supplying the skin of the posterior surface of the arm. Synonym: nervus cutaneus brachii posterior, posterior cutaneous nerve of arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior region of arm | The back of arm. Synonym: facies brachialis posterior, regio brachialis posterior, posterior brachial region, posterior surface of arm. (05 Mar 2000) |

| deep fascia of arm | The deep fascia of the arm; it is continuous proximally with the pectoral fascia and the fascia covering the deltoid; distally it is continuous with the antebrachial fascia. Synonym: fascia brachii, deep fascia of arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dynein arm | A structure extending clockwise from one tubule of each of the 9 doublet microtubules toward the adjacent doublet seen in the axoneme of cilia or flagella (including human sperm tails); congenital absence of dynein, reflected structurally by absence of dynein arm's, can account for symptoms seen in Kartagener's syndrome and in immotile cilia syndromes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| q arm | <cell biology> The long arm of a chromosome. All human chromosomes have 2 arms: the short (p) arm and the long (q) arms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| triceps muscle of arm | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, long or scapular head: lateral border of scapula below glenoid fossa, lateral head: lateral and posterior surface of humerus below greater tubercle, medial head: posterior surface of humerus below radial groove; insertion, olecranon of ulna; action, extends elbow; nerve supply, radial. Synonym: musculus triceps brachii, triceps muscle of arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
