Synonym: ramus perforantes arteriae thoracicae internae, perforating arteries of internal mammary. (05 Mar 2000) |
| petrous part of internal carotid artery | <anatomy, artery> The part of the internal carotid artery in the carotid canal; its branches are carotidotympanic arteries and the artery of the pterygoid canal. Synonym: pars petrosa arteriae carotidis internae, petrous bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior limb of internal capsule | That subdivision of the internal capsule caudal to the genu between the thalamus and lentiform nucleus. Synonym: crus posterius capsulae internae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior scrotal branch of internal pudendal artery | <anatomy, artery> Branches of perineal artery supplying skin of posterior scrotal sac. Synonym: rami scrotales posteriores arteriae pudendae internae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| haemorrhoids, internal | Haemorrhoids that occur above the dentate line in the anal canal which separates two types of anal skin. The skin above the dentate line is not sensitive to pain. Internal haemorrhoids, being above the dentate line, are therefore usually painless. They can cause bleeding or they may push out of (prolapse) the anal opening when they become quite large.

| sternal branches of internal thoracic artery | <anatomy, artery> Branches of internal thoracic artery which pass medially to supply the transversus thoracis muscle and posterior sternum. Synonym: rami sternales arteriae thoracicae internae, sternal arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sublenticular limb of internal capsule | The part of the internal capsule below the caudal third of the lentiform nucleus that contains the auditory radiation as well as that part of the optic radiation representing the upper part of the contralateral half of the binocular visual field. Synonym: pars sublentiformis capsulae internae, sublenticular limb of internal capsule. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: pars sublentiformis capsulae internae, sublenticular limb of internal capsule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior internal parietal artery | <anatomy, artery> The largest cortical branch of the pericallosal artery supplying the medial and superolateral surface of the parietal lobe posterior to the paracentral lobule; rarely does it extend to supply part of the occipital lobe.
