| radial sclerosing lesion | A variant of sclerosing adenosis of the breast with central scar formation and radiating hyperplastic ducts. Synonym: radial scar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radial spoke | The structure that links the outer microtubule doublet of the ciliary axoneme with the sheath that surrounds the central pair of microtubules. The spokes are arranged periodically along the axoneme every 29nm, have a stalk about 32nm long and a bulbous region adjacent to the sheath. at least 17 different polypeptides are associated with the spokes. Spokes are thought to restrict the sliding of doublets relative to one another, digestion of the radial spokes will allow sliding apart of the doublets. (18 Nov 1997) |

| radial tuberosity | An oval projection from the medial surface of the radius just distal to the neck, giving attachment on its posterior half to the tendon of the biceps. Synonym: tuberositas radii, bicipital tuberosity, tuber radii, tuberosity of radius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radial veins | Venae comitantes of the raidal artery continuing from those of the radial aspect of the deep palmar arch, draining into the venae comitantes of the brachial artery in the cubital fossa. Synonym: venae radiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palmar carpal branch of radial artery | <anatomy, artery> A small branch of the radial artery that passes medially across the wrist to supply the carpal joints; it anastomoses with the anterior carpal branch of the ulnar artery. Synonym: ramus carpalis palmaris arteriae radialis, ramus carpeus palmaris arteriae radialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recurrent radial artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, radial; distribution, ascends around lateral side of elbow joint; anastomoses, radial collateral, interosseous recurrent. Synonym: arteria recurrens radialis, recurrent radial artery. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Muller's radial cells | Sustentacular neuroglial cells of the retina running through the thickness of the retina from the internal limiting membrane to the bases of the rods and cones where they form a row of junctional complexes. Synonym: Muller's radial cells, sustentacular fibres of retina. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: musculus extensor carpi radialis brevis, short radial extensor muscle of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial branch of the radial nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Cutaneous terminal branch (with deep branch) which runs under cover of brachioradialis muscle to wrist, then supplies skin of proximal portion of the dorsal aspects of thumb, index, middle and lateral half of ring fingers and the portion of the dorsum of the hand located proximally. Synonym: ramus superficialis nervi radialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial palmar branch of radial artery | <anatomy, artery> The superficial palmar branch of the radial artery which supplies the thenar muscles then enters the palm to communicate with the superficial palmar arch from the ulnar artery. Synonym: ramus palmaris superficialis arteriae radialis, superficial palmar artery, superficial volar artery, superficialis volae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep branch of the radial nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The deep terminal branch of the radial nerve, arises in the cubital region, penetrating and supplying the supinator and continuing with the posterior interosseous artery to supply all the extensor muscles in the forearm. Synonym: nervus interosseus posterior, nervus antebrachii posterior, deep branch of the radial nerve, dorsal interosseous nerve, nervus interosseus dorsalis, posterior antebrachial nerve.
