| ramus posterior nervi auricularis magni | <anatomy, nerve> Provides general sensory fibres to skin of posterior auricle and over mastoid process. Synonym: ramus posterior nervi auricularis magni. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ramus posterior nervi obturatorii | <anatomy, nerve> Branch supplying obturator externus muscle, then passing posterior to adductor brevis, supplying it and the adductor portion of the adductor magnus muscle. Synonym: ramus posterior nervi obturatorii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral posterior intermediate nucleus of thalamus | Intermediate part of the ventrobasal nuclear complex. See: ventral posterior nucleus of thalamus. Synonym: ventral posterior intermediate nucleus of thalamus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral posterior nucleus of thalamus | The large posterior part of the ventral nucleus of the thalamus receiving the somatic sensory lemnisci (medial lemniscus, spinothalamic tract, trigeminal lemniscus) and the ascending gustatory (taste) lemniscus, and projecting in turn by way of the internal capsule to the cortex of the postcentral gyrus. The nucleus is somatotopically organised and subdivided into a ventral posterolateral nucleus of thalamus representing the leg, a ventral posterior intermediate nucleus of thalamus representing the arm, a ventral posteromedial nucleus of thalamus representing the face, and an arcuate nucleus of thalamus receiving the gustatory lemniscus. Synonym: nucleus ventralis posterior thalami, ventrobasal nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior hypothalamic nucleus | A large, periventricular hypothalamic nucleus located dorsal to the mamillary body, continuous with the central gray substance of the mesencephalon. Synonym: nucleus posterior hypothalami. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior medial nucleus of thalamus | Medial part of the ventrobasal nuclear complex. See: ventral posterior nucleus of thalamus. Synonym: nucleus ventralis posteromedialis thalami. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior periventricular nucleus | A nucleus located in the middle hypothalamus in the most ventral part of the third ventricle near the entrance of the infundibular recess. Its small cells are in close contact with the ependyma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nucleus posterior hypothalami | A large, periventricular hypothalamic nucleus located dorsal to the mamillary body, continuous with the central gray substance of the mesencephalon. Synonym: nucleus posterior hypothalami. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nucleus ventralis posterior intermedius thalami | Intermediate part of the ventrobasal nuclear complex. See: ventral posterior nucleus of thalamus. Synonym: ventral posterior intermediate nucleus of thalamus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nucleus ventralis posterior thalami | The large posterior part of the ventral nucleus of the thalamus receiving the somatic sensory lemnisci (medial lemniscus, spinothalamic tract, trigeminal lemniscus) and the ascending gustatory (taste) lemniscus, and projecting in turn by way of the internal capsule to the cortex of the postcentral gyrus. The nucleus is somatotopically organised and subdivided into a ventral posterolateral nucleus of thalamus representing the leg, a ventral posterior intermediate nucleus of thalamus representing the arm, a ventral posteromedial nucleus of thalamus representing the face, and an arcuate nucleus of thalamus receiving the gustatory lemniscus. Synonym: nucleus ventralis posterior thalami, ventrobasal nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| area nervi facialis | <anatomy, nerve> The area in the fundus of the internal acoustic meatus superior to the transverse crest through which the facial nerve passes to enter the facial canal. Synonym: area nervi facialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria comes nervi phrenici | <anatomy, artery> Origin, internal thoracic; distribution, pericardium, diaphragm, and pleura; anastomoses, musculophrenic, inferior phrenic, mediastinal and pericardial branches of the internal thoracic. Synonym: arteria pericardiacophrenica, arteria comes nervi phrenici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria comitans nervi ischiadici | <anatomy, nerve> Origin, inferior gluteal; distribution, sciatic nerve; anastomoses, branches of profunda femoris. Synonym: arteria comitans nervi ischiadici, companion artery to sciatic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria comitans nervi mediani | <anatomy, artery> Origin, anterior interosseous; distribution, accompanies median nerve to palm; anastomoses, branches of superficial palmar arch. Synonym: arteria comitans nervi mediani, arteria mediana. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canalis nervi facialis | The bony passage in the temporal bone through which the facial nerve passes; the facial canal commences at the internal auditory meatus with the horizontal part which passes at first anteriorly (medial crus of facial canal) then turns posteriorly at the geniculum of the facial canal to pass medial to the tympanic cavity (lateral crus of facial canal); finally, it turns downward (descending part of facial canal) to reach the stylomastoid foramen. Synonym: canalis nervi facialis, aqueductus fallopii, fallopian aqueduct, fallopian canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
