| accessory vertebral vein | <anatomy, vein> A vein that accompanies the vertebral vein but passes through the foramen of the transverse process of the seventh cervical vertebra and opens independently into the brachiocephalic vein. Synonym: vena vertebralis accessoria. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| anterior vertebral scalloping | <radiology> Hodgkin's disease, aortic aneurysm, tuberculosis of the spine (12 Dec 1998) |
| anterior vertebral vein | <anatomy, vein> The small vein that accompanies the ascending cervical artery; it opens below into the vertebral vein. Synonym: vena vertebralis anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| artery, vertebral | A key artery located in the back of the neck that carries blood from the heart to the brain. (12 Dec 1998) |
| atlantic part of vertebral artery | <anatomy, artery> Suboccipital part of vertebral artery. See: vertebral artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| veins of vertebral column | Includes the internal and external vertebral venous plexuses, the basivertebral veins, and the anterior and posterior spinal veins. Synonym: venae columnae vertebralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertebral | <anatomy> Of or pertaining to a vertebra. Origin: L. Vertebralis (18 Nov 1997) |
| vertebral arch | The posterior projection from the body of a vertebra that encloses the vertebral foramen; it consists of paired pedicles and laminae; the spinous, transverse, and articular processes arise from the arch. In aggregate, the venous arches-and the ligamenta flava that unite them-form the posterior wall of the vertebral (spinal) canal. Synonym: arcus vertebrae, neural arch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertebral artery | <anatomy, artery> Paired arteries which supply the muscles of the neck, spinal cord and cerebellum. (27 Sep 1997) |
| vertebral border of scapula | The edge of the scapula closest to the vertebral column, extending from superior angle to inferior angle. Synonym: margo medialis scapulae, vertebral border of scapula. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertebral canal | The canal that contains the spinal cord, spinal meninges, and related structures. It is formed by the vertebral foramina of successive vertebrae of the articulated vertebral column. Synonym: canalis vertebralis, spinal canal, tubus vertebralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertebral column | The series of vertebrae that extend from the cranium to the coccyx, providing support and forming a flexible bony case for the spinal cord. Synonym: columna vertebralis, backbone, dorsal spine, rachis, spina dorsalis, spina, spina, spinal column, spine, vertebrarium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertebral epidural space | Single-layered strong membrane, comparable to and continuous with (at foramen magnum) the meningeal layer of the intracranial dura mater of the brain. It does not (in contrast to the dura mater of brain) adhere to the enveloping bony structures (vertebrae) or their periosteum, being separated from the latter by a considerable space, the vertebral epidural space-a true space containing the internal vertebral venous plexus embedded in a matrix of epidural fat. Synonym: dura mater spinalis, endorrhachis, theca vertebralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertebral foramen | The foramen formed by the union of the vertebral arch with the body; in the articulated vertebral column, the vertebral foramen collectively form the vertebral column. Synonym: foramen vertebrale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertebral formula | A formula indicating the number of vertebrae in each segment of the spinal column; for man it is C. 7, T. 12, L. 5, S. 5, Co. 4 = 33, the letters standing for cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal. (05 Mar 2000) |
