| cervical ligament of uterus | <anatomy> A fibrous band attached to the uterine cervix and the vault of the lateral fornix of the vagina; continuous with the tissue ensheathing the pelvic vessels. Synonym: cervical ligament of uterus, ligamentum transversale colli, Mackenrodt's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |

| cervical longissimus muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, transverse processes of upper thoracic vertebrae; insertion, transverse processes of middle and upper cervical vertebrae; action, extends cervical vertebrae; nerve supply, dorsal primary rami of lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal nerves. Synonym: musculus longissimus cervicis, cervical longissimus muscle, musculus transversalis cervicis, musculus transversalis colli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cervical loop | A loop in the cervical plexus consisting of fibres from the first three cervical nerves. Fibres from a loop between the C-1 and C-2 spinal nerves accompany the hypoglossal nerve for a short distance, leaving it as the superior root of the ansa cervicalis. Fibres from a loop between the C-2 and C-3 spinal nerves form the inferior root of the ansa cervicalis. Most commonly, the roots merge, forming the ansa cervicalis, which gives rise to branches innervating infrahyoid muscles. Synonym: cervical loop, loop of hypoglossal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cervical lymphadenitis | <pathology> Refers to inflammation of the lymph glands in the neck. Often occurs secondary to a viral or bacterial (Streptococcus) infection. Common symptoms include pain and tenderness to the swollen lymph glands in the neck. Cervical lymphadenitis may accompany tonsillitis, pharyngitis and dental infections. (27 Sep 1997) |

| cervical oesophageal web | <radiology> Post-cricoid web, M=F, 5% of UGI patients, anterior (antero-lateral), with or without dysphagia, Treatment: endoscopic disruption (lysis) see: oesophageal webs and rings (12 Dec 1998) |
| cervical oesophagus | The part of the oesophagus that goes through the neck. (09 Oct 1997) |
| cervical osteoarthritis | <pathology> Degenerative joint disease of the cervical (neck) spine. Results in a progressive erosion of the cartilage which line the weight bearing joints in the neck. Progressive bony calcification can lead to obstruction of exiting nerve roots resulting in neurological symptoms. (27 Sep 1997) |
