| ventral primary rami of sacral spinal nerves | See: ventral primary ramus of spinal nerve. Synonym: rami ventrales nervorum sacralium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recurrent meningeal branch of spinal nerves | A branch from the initial (mixed) part of each spinal nerve passing in a recurrent fashion back through the intervertebral foramen to supply spinal meninges, the posterior longitudinal ligament, posterolateral periphery of the intervertebral disc, and periosteum of the vertebrae. Synonym: ramus meningeus nervorum spinalium, recurrent meningeal branch of spinal nerves, sinuvertebral nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous nerves of clitoris | Nerves corresponding to the cavernous nerves of penis in the male, arising from the vesicular portion of the pelvic plexus. Synonym: nervi cavernosi clitoridis, cavernous plexus of clitoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous nerves of penis | Two nerves, major and minor, derived from the prostatic portion of the pelvic plexus supplying sympathetic and parasympathetic fibres to the helicine arteries and arteriorvenous anastomoses of the corpus cavernosum stimulating erection. Synonym: nervi cavernosi penis, cavernous plexus of penis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pectoral and abdominal anterior cutaneous branch of intercostal nerves | The ventral primary rami of spinal nerves T7-T11 (seventh to eleventh intercostal nerves), which supply the abdominal as well as the thoracic wall; innervate intercostal, subcostal, serratus posterior inferior, transversus abdominis, external and internal oblique, and rectus abdominis muscles, and provide sensory branches to the periphery of the diaphragm, and parietal pleura and peritoneum. Synonym: rami cutanei anteriores pectoralis et abdominalis nervorum intercostalium, ramus cutaneus anterior (pectoralis et abdominalis) nervorum thoracicorum, anterior cutaneous nerves of abdomen, pectoral and abdominal anterior cutaneous branch of intercostal nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pelvic splanchnic nerves | Visceral branches from the ventral primary rami of the second, third, and fourth sacral spinal nerves that join the inferior hypogastric plexus, to form the pelvic plexuses to and from which they convey presynaptic parasympathetic and sensory fibres, respectively. Synonym: nervi pelvici splanchnici, nervi erigentes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cervical nerves | Nerves arising from the cervical segments of the spinal cord. Synonym: nervi cervicales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cervical splanchnic nerves | Segments of the visceral branches arising from the superior, middle, and inferior (stellate) cervical ganglia; they are part of the cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves. Synonym: augmentor nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| meningeal branch of spinal nerves | A branch from the initial (mixed) part of each spinal nerve passing in a recurrent fashion back through the intervertebral foramen to supply spinal meninges, the posterior longitudinal ligament, posterolateral periphery of the intervertebral disc, and periosteum of the vertebrae. Synonym: ramus meningeus nervorum spinalium, recurrent meningeal branch of spinal nerves, sinuvertebral nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
