| lumbar part of diaphragm | The portion of the diaphragm that arises from the upper lumbar vertebrae and from the medial and lateral arcuate ligaments. See: right crus of diaphragm, left crus of diaphragm, lateral arcuate ligament, medial arcuate ligament. Synonym: pars lumbalis diaphragmatis, vertebral part of diaphragm. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| lumbar part of spinal cord | Portion of spinal cord which consists of the five lumbar segments (L1-L5) and from which five pairs of lumbar spinal nerves originate; in the adult it is located in the T10-L1 portion of the vertebral canal, and is enlarged relative to other parts of the cord due to its involvement in innervation of the lower limb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lumbar plexus | A nervous plexus, formed by the ventral rami of the first four lumbar nerves; it lies in the substance of the psoas muscle, a lymphatic plexus formed of about twenty lymph nodes and connecting vessels situated along the lower portion of the aorta and the common iliac vessels. Synonym: plexus lumbalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lumbar quadrate muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, iliac crest, iliolumbar ligament, and transverse processes of lower lumbar vertebrae; insertion, twelfth rib and transverse processes of upper lumbar vertebrae; action, abducts trunk; nerve supply, ventral primary rami of upper lumbar spinal nerves. Synonym: musculus quadratus lumborum, lumbar quadrate muscle, quadrate muscle of loins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lumbar radiculopathy | <neurology, orthopaedics> A herniated intervertebral disk (nucleus pulposus) is one which has become displaced (prolapsed) from its normal position in between the vertebral bodies of the spine. Herniated disks often impinge on nearby nerve structures resulting in pain and neurologic symptoms. A clinical situation where the radicular nerve (nerve root) is compressed by the prolapsed disk is referred to as a radiculopathy. This problem tends to occur most commonly in the cervical and lumbar spine. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| lumbar region | The region of the back lateral to the vertebral region and between the rib cage and the pelvis. Synonym: regio lumbalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lumbar rheumatism | <symptom> Pain in the lumbar region. Origin: L. Lumbus = loin (18 Nov 1997) |
| lumbar rib | An occasional rib articulating with the transverse process of the first lumbar vertebra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lumbar rotator muscles | The rotator muscles of the lumbar vertebrae. Synonym: musculi rotatores lumborum, lumbar rotator muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lumbar segments of spinal cord | The five lumbar segments of the spinal cord which give rise to the five pairs of lumbar spinal nerves and constitute the lumbar part of the spinal cord. Synonym: segmenta medullae spinalis lumbaria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lumbar splanchnic nerves | Branches from the lumbar sympathetic trunks that pass anteriorly to convey presynaptic sympathetic fibres to, and visceral afferents from, the coeliac, intermesenteric, aortic, and superior hypogastric plexuses. Synonym: nervi splanchnici lumbales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lumbar triangle | An area in the posterior abdominal wall bounded by the edges of the latissimus dorsi and external oblique muscles and the iliac crest; herniations occasionally occur here. Synonym: trigonum lumbale, Petit's lumbar triangle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lumbar trunks | Two lymphatic ducts conveying lymph from the lower limbs, pelvic viscera and walls, large intestine, kidneys, and suprarenal glands; they discharge into the cisterna chyli. Synonym: trunci lumbales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lumbar veins | Five in number, these veins accompany the lumbar arteries, drain the posterior body wall and the lumbar vertebral venous plexuses, and terminate anteriorly as follows: the first and second in the ascending lumbar vein, the third and fourth in the inferior vena cava, and the fifth in the iliolumbar vein; all communicate via the ascending lumbar veins. Synonym: venae lumbales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lumbar vertebrae | The vertebrae, usually five in number, located in the lumbar region of the back. Synonym: vertebrae lumbales. (05 Mar 2000) |

| lumbar puncture |
(also known as a spinal tap) A procedure that involves removing some of the cerebrospinal fluid from the base of the spine. The physician will first use a local anesthetic on the skin and soft tissues in the lower back. Cerebrospinal fluid is obtained from the spinal area using a small needle and a syringe.

| lumbar puncture |
Cerebro-spinal fluid, the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, can be removed with a needle that is inserted into the spine in the lower back. Examination of the fluid can reveal infection (such as meningitis due to bacteria or tuberculosis) or blood from hemorrhage. In some patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, CT scans are normal, and lumbar punctures are necessary to demonstrate blood from the hemorrhage that has spread throughout the cerebro-spinal fluid.

| lumbar puncture |
A diagnostic procedure that uses a hollow needle (canula) to penetrate the spinal canal at the level of third-fourth or fourth-fifth lumbar vertebrae to remove cerebrospinal fluid for analysis. This procedure is used to examine the cerebrospinal fluid for changes in composition that are characteristic of MS (eg, elevated white cell count, elevated protein content, the presence of oligoclonal bands).
