| upper thoracic splanchnic nerves | Part of the cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves from the second to fifth segments of the thoracic sympathetic trunk that pass medially and anteriorly to enter the cardiac plexus; they convey postsynaptic sympathetic fibres to, and visceral afferent (pain) fibres from, the heart. Synonym: nervi cardiaci thoracici, upper thoracic splanchnic nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |

| upper uterine segment | The main portion of the body of the gravid uterus, the contraction of which furnishes the chief force of expulsion in labour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angle of femoral torsion | angle of femoral torsion |
| anterior femoral cutaneous nerves | Anterior cutaneous branches of femoral nerve; supplies distal 3/4 of skin and superficial fascia of anterior and medial thigh. Synonym: rami cutanei anteriores nervi femoralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bilocular femoral hernia | A femoral hernia with two sacs, the first being in the femoral canal, and the second passing through a defect in the superficial fascia and appearing immediately beneath the skin. Synonym: bilocular femoral hernia, Hey's hernia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial circumflex femoral artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, profunda femoris; distribution, hip joint, muscles of thigh; anastomoses, inferior gluteal, superior gluteal, lateral circumflex femoral. Synonym: arteria circumflexa femoris medialis, medial circumflex artery of thigh, medial femoral circumflex artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial circumflex femoral veins | The venae comitantes that parallel the medial circumflex femoral artery. Synonym: venae circumflexae femoris mediales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial femoral circumflex artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, profunda femoris; distribution, hip joint, muscles of thigh; anastomoses, inferior gluteal, superior gluteal, lateral circumflex femoral. Synonym: arteria circumflexa femoris medialis, medial circumflex artery of thigh, medial femoral circumflex artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial femoral tuberosity | The epicondylus located proximal to the medial condyle. Synonym: epicondylus medialis ossis femoris, medial femoral tuberosity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| perineal branches of posterior femoral cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branches of posterior femoral cutaneous nerve which convey sensory fibres to the skin of the lateral-most perineum and adjacent portions of the upper medial thigh. Synonym: rami perineales nervi cutanei femoris posterioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circumflex femoral arteries | See: lateral circumflex femoral artery, medial circumflex femoral artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pistol-shot femoral sound | A shotlike systolic sound heard over the femoral artery in high output states, especially aortic insufficiency; presumably due to sudden stretching of the elastic wall of the artery; pistol-shot sounds may also be heard over other relatively large arteries, e.g., brachial, radial. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior femoral cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the first three sacral nerves, supplies the skin of the posterior surface of the thigh and of the popliteal region (S1 and S2 component); it gives off a perineal branch (S3 component) that passes to the lateral aspect of the scrotum or labia majora. Synonym: nervus cutaneus femoris posterior, posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh, small sciatic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| proximal femoral focal deficiency | A congenital defect in which variable portions of the upper end of the femur are reduced or absent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep branch of the medial femoral circumflex artery | <anatomy, artery> Distributed to posterior aspect of femoral head and neck. Synonym: ramus profundus arteriae circumflexae femoris medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
