| dorsal carpal branch of ulnar artery | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the ulnar artery that passes to the dorsal side of the carpus to enter the dorsal carpal network. Synonym: ramus carpeus dorsalis arteriae ulnaris, ramus carpalis dorsalis arteriae ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |

| dorsal carpal ligament | A strong fibrous band formed as a thickening of the antebrachial deep fascia, stretching obliquely across the back of the wrist, attaching deeply to ridges on the dorsal aspect of the radius, triquetral and pisiform bones, binding down the extensor tendons of the fingers and thumb. Synonym: retinaculum extensorum, dorsal carpal ligament, ligamentum carpi dorsale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal carpal network | A vascular network over the dorsal surface of the carpal joints, formed by anastomoses of branches of the anterior and posterior interosseous, and dorsal carpal branches of the radial and ulnar arteries. Synonym: rete carpi dorsale, rete carpi posterius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal carpometacarpal ligaments | Fibrous bands that connect the dorsal surfaces of the carpal and metacarpal bones. Synonym: ligamentum carpometacarpalia dorsalia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal column of spinal cord | The pronounced, dorsolaterally oriented ridge of gray matter in each lateral half of the spinal cord, corresponding to the posterior or dorsal horn appearing in transverse sections of the cord. Synonym: columna posterior, dorsal column of spinal cord, posterior column of spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal column stimulation | Electrical stimulation, either percutaneously or by direct application of electrodes to the dorsal columns of the spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal cuboideonavicular ligament | <anatomy> The ligament that unites the dorsal surfaces of the cuboid and navicular bones of the tarsus. Synonym: ligamentum cuboideonaviculare dorsale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal cuneocuboid ligament | <anatomy> The fibrous band that unites the dorsal margins of the lateral cuneiform and cuboid bones. Synonym: ligamentum cuneocuboideum dorsale. (05 Mar 2000) |

| dorsal digital nerves of hand | Terminal branches of the radial and ulnar nerves in the hand supplying the skin of the dorsal surface of the proximal and middle phalanges of the fingers. Synonym: nervi digitales dorsales, dorsal digital nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal digital veins of foot | They receive intercapitular veins from the plantar venous arch, join to form four common dorsal digital veins, and terminate in the dorsal venous arch. Synonym: venae digitales dorsales pedis, dorsal digital veins of toes. (05 Mar 2000) |
