dorsal root ganglion (배근 신경절, 후근 신경절
| lateral column of spinal cord | A slight protrusion of the gray matter of the spinal cord into the lateral funiculus of either side, especially marked in the thoracic region where it encloses preganglionic motor neurons of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system; it corresponds to the lateral horn appearing in transverse sections of the spinal cord. See: gray columns. Synonym: columna lateralis, lateral column of spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Lissauer's column | A longitudinal bundle of thin, unmyelinated and poorly myelinated fibres capping the apex of the posterior horn of the spinal gray matter, composed of posterior root fibres and short association fibres that interconnect neighboring segments of the posterior horn. Synonym: fasciculus dorsolateralis, tractus dorsolateralis, dorsolateral tract, fasciculus marginalis, Lissauer's bundle, Lissauer's column, Lissauer's fasciculus, Lissauer's marginal zone, Lissauer's tract, marginal fasciculus, Spitzka's marginal tract, Spitzka's marginal zone, Waldeyer's tract, Waldeyer's zonal layer.

| ganglion cells of dorsal spinal root | Pseudounipolar nerve cell bodies in the ganglia of the dorsal spinal nerve roots; the sensory spinal nerves are composed of the peripheral axon branches of these sensory ganglion cell's, whereas the central axon branch of each such cell enters the spinal cord as a component of the dorsal root. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial dorsal cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The medial terminal branch of the superficial peroneal nerve, supplying the dorsum of the foot and dorsal nerves to the toes (except adjacent sides of great and second toes). Synonym: nervus cutaneus dorsalis medialis, dorsal medial cutaneous nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial dorsal sacrococcygeal ligament | <anatomy> The continuation of the supraspinal ligament from the sacrum to the coccyx. Synonym: ligamentum sacrococcygeum posterius superficiale, superficial posterior sacrococcygeal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial dorsal veins of clitoris | A pair of veins on the dorsum of the clitoris, tributary to the external pudendal vein on either side. Synonym: venae dorsales clitoridis superficiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial dorsal veins of penis | A pair of veins on the dorsum of the penis superficial to the fascia penis; they are tributaries of the external pudendal veins on each side. Synonym: venae dorsales penis superficiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep dorsal sacrococcygeal ligament | <anatomy> The continuation of the posterior longitudinal ligament uniting the sacrum and coccyx. Synonym: ligamentum sacrococcygeum posterius profundum, deep posterior sacrococcygeal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep dorsal vein of clitoris | A tributary of the vesical venous plexus; it runs a course deep to the fascia on the dorsum of the clitoris. Synonym: vena dorsalis clitoridis profunda. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep dorsal vein of penis | A vein on the dorsum of the penis deep to the fascia of the penis; it is a tributary to the prostatic venous plexus. Synonym: vena dorsalis penis profunda. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal | 1. Pertaining to the back or to any dorsum. 2. Denoting a position more toward the back surface than some other object of reference, same as posterior in human anatomy, superior in the anatomy of quadrupeds. Origin: L. Dorsalis, from dorsum = back (18 Nov 1997) |
| dorsal accessory olivary nucleus | A detached part of the olivary nucleus dorsal to the latter's main body. Synonym: nucleus olivaris accessorius dorsalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal artery of clitoris | One of the two terminal branches of the internal pudendal artery in the female, the other being the deep artery of the clitoris. Synonym: arteria dorsalis clitoridis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal artery of foot | <anatomy, artery> Continuation of anterior tibial artery after crossing ankle; branches, lateral tarsal, arcuate, dorsal metatarsal; a continuation of the anterior tibial; anastomoses, with the lateral plantar to form the plantar arch. Synonym: arteria dorsalis pedis, dorsal artery of foot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal artery of nose | Origin, ophthalmic; external artery of the nose; distribution, skin of side of root of nose; anastomoses, angular artery. Synonym: arteria dorsalis nasi, arteria nasi externa, dorsal artery of nose, external artery of nose. (05 Mar 2000) |
