| collateral ligament | <anatomy> One of a number of ligaments on either side of, and serving as a radius of movement of, a joint having a hingelike movement; they occur at the following joints: elbow, knee, wrist, and the metacarpo-or metatarsophalangeal, proximal interphalangeal, and distal interphalangeal joints of the hands and feet. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale. (05 Mar 2000) |

| collateral sulcus | A long, deep sagittal fissure on the undersurface of the temporal lobe, marking the border between the fusiform gyrus laterally and the hippocampal and lingual gyri medially; the great depth of the collateral sulcus results in a bulging of the floor of the occipital and temporal horn of the lateral ventricle, the collateral eminence. Synonym: sulcus collateralis, sulcus occipitotemporalis, collateral fissure, fissura collateralis, occipitotemporal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| collateral trigone | A triangular prominence of the floor of the lateral ventricle at the transition between occipital and temporal horn, continuous rostrally with the collateral eminence and, like the latter, caused by the deep penetration of the collateral sulcus from the ventral surface of the temporal lobe. Synonym: trigonum collaterale, trigone of lateral ventricle, trigonum ventriculi, ventricular trigone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| collateral vessel | A branch of an artery running parallel with the parent trunk, a vessel that runs in parallel with another vessel, nerve, or other long structure. Synonym: vas collaterale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of median nerve with ulnar nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of median nerve joining the ulnar nerve in the hand; the anterior interosseous branch of the median nerve may also communicate with the ulnar nerve in the proximal forearm. Synonym: ramus communicans nervi mediani cum nervo ulnari. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial branch of the ulnar nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch supplying skin of palmar aspect of little and medial half of ring fingers, the portion of the palm proximal to them and the palmaris brevis muscle. Synonym: ramus superficialis nervi ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep branch of the ulnar nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Accompanies deep palmar branch of ulnar artery and deep palmar arch to supply wrist joint, lumbricals 3 & 4, palmar and dorsal interossei adductor pollicis and deep head of flexor pollicis brevis muscles. Synonym: ramus profundus nervi ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch arising from the ulnar nerve proximal to the wrist for distribution to the medial side of the dorsum of the hand and proximal portion of the little finger and medial side of ring finger. Synonym: rami dorsales nervi ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal collateral ligament of the wrist | A ligament that passes from the styloid process of the ulna to the pisiform and triquetrum. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale carpi ulnare, internal collateral ligament of the wrist, medial ligament of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tibial collateral ligament | <anatomy> The broad fibrous band that passes from the medial epicondyle of the femur to the medial margin and medial surface of the tibia; the medial meniscus is attached to its deep surface; it is continuous with (a thickening of) the fibrous capsule of the knee joint. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale tibiale, medial ligament of knee. (05 Mar 2000) |
| external collateral ligament of wrist | The ligament that extends distally from the styloid process of the radius to the carpal bones. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale carpi radiale, external collateral ligament of wrist, lateral ligament of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar | <anatomy> Of or pertaining to the ulna, or the elbow; as, the ulnar nerve. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| ulnar branch of medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve supplying the skin of the medial portion of the proximal two-thirds of the dorsal side of the forearm. Synonym: ramus ulnaris nervi cutanei antebrachii medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar bursa | The synovial sheath that surrounds the eight tendons of the superficial and deep flexors of the digits of the hand as they pass through the carpal canal; it is commonly continuous with the digital sheath of the little finger. Synonym: vagina communis musculorum flexorum, ulnar bursa. (05 Mar 2000) |
