| ulnar collateral ligament of 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) |
| fibular collateral ligament | <anatomy> The cordlike ligament that passes from the lateral epicondyle of the femur to the head of the fibula. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale fibulare, lateral ligament of knee, Winslow's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibular collateral ligament of ankle | The calcaneofibular ligament, anterior talofibular ligament, and posterior talofibular ligament together maintaining the integrity of the lateral aspect of the talocrural joint. Synonym: fibular collateral ligament of ankle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral collateral | A strong ligament which connects the femur to the tibia, stabilising the outer aspect of the knee joint. (27 Sep 1997) |
| lateral collateral ligament of ankle | The calcaneofibular ligament, anterior talofibular ligament, and posterior talofibular ligament together maintaining the integrity of the lateral aspect of the talocrural joint. Synonym: fibular collateral ligament of ankle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior intercostal arteries | One of the arteries supplying the anterior portions of the intercostal spaces of the thoracic wall. Anterior intercostal arteries 1-6 arise as branches of the internal thoracic artery; 7-11 arise as branches of the musculophrenic artery. Synonym: rami intercostales anteriores, rami intercostalis anteriores arteria thoracica interna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior intercostal branches of internal thoracic artery | One of the arteries supplying the anterior portions of the intercostal spaces of the thoracic wall. Anterior intercostal arteries 1-6 arise as branches of the internal thoracic artery; 7-11 arise as branches of the musculophrenic artery. Synonym: rami intercostales anteriores, rami intercostalis anteriores arteria thoracica interna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior intercostal veins | Tributaries to the musculophrenic or internal thoracic veins from the anterior portions of intercostal spaces. Synonym: venae intercostales anteriores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right superior intercostal vein | <anatomy, vein> A tributary of the azygos vein formed by the union of the right second, third, and fourth posterior intercostal veins. Synonym: vena intercostalis superior dextra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior intercostal arteries | Terminal branches of the superior intercostal artery (from costocervical trunk) supplying upper two intercostal spaces (1-2). Posterior intercostal arteries 3-11, one of nine pairs of arteries arising from the thoracic aorta and distributed to the nine lower intercostal spaces, vertebral column, spinal cord, and muscles and integument of the back; they anastomose with branches of the musculophrenic, internal thoracic, superior epigastric, subcostal and lumbar. Synonym: arteriae intercostales posteriores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior intercostal veins | Veins draining the intercostal spaces posteriorly; those of the first 1-C space drain into the brachiocephalic veins; from spaces 2-3 they drain into right and left superior intercostal veins; from the fourth to the eleventh spaces on the right they are tributaries of the azygos vein; on the left they empty into either the hemiazygos or accessory hemiazygos veins. Synonym: venae intercostales posteriores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| highest intercostal artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, costocervical trunk; distribution, structures of first and second intercostal spaces via its terminal branches, posterior intercostal arteries 1 and 2; anastomoses, anterior intercostal branches of internal thoracic. Synonym: arteria intercostalis suprema, highest intercostal artery, supreme intercostal artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| highest intercostal vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein draining the first intercostal space into either the vertebral or the brachiocephalic vein. Synonym: vena intercostalis suprema, supreme intercostal vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior intercostal artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, costocervical trunk; distribution, structures of first and second intercostal spaces via its terminal branches, posterior intercostal arteries 1 and 2; anastomoses, anterior intercostal branches of internal thoracic.
