| thyrocervical trunk | A short arterial trunk arising from the subclavian artery, giving rise to the suprascapular (which may instead arise directly from the subclavian artery) and terminating by dividing into the ascending cervical and inferior thyroid arteries. Synonym: truncus thyrocervicalis, thyroid axis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trunk | <botany> The main stem or body of a tree, considered apart from its roots and branches. (09 Oct 1997) |
| trunk of atrioventricular bundle | The singular initial portion (stem) of the atrioventricular bundle which passes from the atrioventricular node into the right trigone of the fibrous skeleton of the heart and along the periphery of the membranous interventricular septum; upon reaching the muscular interventricular septum, the trunk terminates by dividing into the right and left crura of the atrioventricular bundle.

| jugular lymphatic trunk | Lymphatic vessel on each side, conveying the lymph from the head and neck; that on the right side empties into the right lymphatic duct, that on the left into the thoracic duct. Synonym: truncus jugularis, jugular duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| linguofacial trunk | The common trunk by which the lingual and facial arteries frequently arise from the external carotid artery. Synonym: truncus linguofacialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lumbosacral trunk | A large nerve, formed by the union of the fifth lumbar and first sacral nerves, with a branch from the fourth lumbar nerve, which enters into the formation of the sacral plexus. Synonym: truncus lumbosacralis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| peroneal communicating branch | The peroneal (fibular) communicating branch of the common peroneal (fibular) nerve; it arises from the common peroneal nerve in the popliteal space and passes over the lateral head of the gastrocnemius to the middle third of the leg, where it unites with the medial sural cutaneous nerve to form the sural nerve. Synonym: ramus communicans fibularis nervi fibularis communis, ramus communicans peroneus nervi peronei communis, nervus communicans fibularis, nervus communicans peroneus, peroneal anastomotic ramus, peroneal communicating nerve.

| communicating artery | <anatomy, artery> An artery that connects two larger artery's. See: anterior communicating artery, posterior communicating artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch | A bundle of nerve fibres passing from one named nerve to join another. The term "communicating branch" is used in the nervous system to replace the inadequate "anastomosing branch" used for vascular systems. Synonym: ramus communicans. (05 Mar 2000) |
