| BPN | bacitracin, polymyxin B, neomycin sulfate; brachial plexus neuropathy |
| plx | plexus |
| LSO | lateral superior olive; left salpingo-oophorectomy; left superior oblique; lumbosacral orthosis |
| AMVI | acute mesenteric vascular insufficiency |
| plexus dentalis superior | Formed by branches of the infraorbital nerve, it gives off superior dental branches to the upper and superior gingival branches to the gums. Synonym: plexus dentalis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| plexus hypogastricus superior | The continuation of the aortic plexus inferior to the aortic bifurcation across the fifth lumbar vertebra into the pelvis where it divides into two hypogastric nerves at the sides of the rectum; these join the pelvic splanchnic nerves to form the inferior hypogastric plexus's supplying pelvic viscera. Synonym: plexus hypogastricus superior, nervus presacralis, Latarget's nerve, presacral nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus mesentericus superior | An autonomic plexus, a continuation of the abdominal aortic plexus, sending nerves to the intestines and forming with the vagus the subserous, myenteric, and submucous plexus's; this periarterial plexus is so dense that it results in the appearance of a characteristic perivascular "collar" distinguishing the superior mesenteric artery from the superior mesenteric vein in several imaging modalities such as with ultra sound. Synonym: plexus mesentericus superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus rectalis superior | The autonomic plexus derived as a continuation of the inferior mesenteric plexus that accompanies the superior rectal artery. Synonym: plexus rectalis superior, superior haemorrhoidal plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus thyroideus superior | An autonomic plexus on the artery of the same name, derived from the external carotid plexus. Synonym: plexus thyroideus superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior dental plexus | Formed by branches of the infraorbital nerve, it gives off superior dental branches to the upper and superior gingival branches to the gums. Synonym: plexus dentalis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior haemorrhoidal plexus | The autonomic plexus derived as a continuation of the inferior mesenteric plexus that accompanies the superior rectal artery. Synonym: plexus rectalis superior, superior haemorrhoidal plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior hypogastric plexus | The continuation of the aortic plexus inferior to the aortic bifurcation across the fifth lumbar vertebra into the pelvis where it divides into two hypogastric nerves at the sides of the rectum; these join the pelvic splanchnic nerves to form the inferior hypogastric plexus's supplying pelvic viscera. Synonym: plexus hypogastricus superior, nervus presacralis, Latarget's nerve, presacral nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior rectal plexus | The autonomic plexus derived as a continuation of the inferior mesenteric plexus that accompanies the superior rectal artery. Synonym: plexus rectalis superior, superior haemorrhoidal plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior thyroid plexus | An autonomic plexus on the artery of the same name, derived from the external carotid plexus. Synonym: plexus thyroideus superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior trunk of brachial plexus | The nerve bundle formed by the union of the ventral rami of the fifth and sixth cervical nerves and some fibres from the fourth; it contributes fibres to the posterior and lateral cords (fasciculi) of the brachial plexus. Synonym: truncus superior plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| truncus superior plexus brachialis | The nerve bundle formed by the union of the ventral rami of the fifth and sixth cervical nerves and some fibres from the fourth; it contributes fibres to the posterior and lateral cords (fasciculi) of the brachial plexus. Synonym: truncus superior plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior branch of the superior gluteal artery | <anatomy, artery> Runs between gluteus medius and minimus muscles, supplying both, and continuing to reach tensor fascia lata muscle. Synonym: ramus superior arteriae gluteae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior lingular branch of lingular branch of superior lobar left pulmonary artery | <anatomy, artery> Branch (of the lingular branch) of the left pulmonary artery serving the superior lingular segment of the superior lobe of the left lung. Synonym: ramus lingularis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abdominal aortic plexus | <anatomy, neurology> An autonomic plexus surrounding the abdominal aorta, directly continuous with the thoracic aortic plexus above and continued inferior to the bifurcation of the aorta as the superior hypogastric plexus. Synonym: plexus aorticus abdominalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
