Synonym: musculus fibularis longus, musculus peroneus longus, long fibular muscle, long peroneal muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| groove for tendon of flexor hallucis longus | Groove for tendon of the flexor hallucis longus; a vertical sulcus on the posterior process of the talus continuous with a similar groove on the underside of the sustentaculum tali of the calcaneus. Synonym: sulcus tendinis musculi flexoris hallucis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| groove for tendon of peroneus longus muscle | <anatomy> The groove below the peroneal trochlea of the calcaneus, the groove distal to the tuberosity of the cuboid bone. Synonym: sulcus tendinis musculi peronei longi, sulcus tendinis musculi fibularis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gyrus longus insulae | The most posterior and longest of the slender straight gyri that compose the insula. Synonym: gyrus longus insulae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plantar tendon sheath of peroneus longus muscle | <anatomy> The synovial sheath surrounding the tendon of the peroneus longus in its course across the sole of the foot. Synonym: vagina tendinis musculi peronei longi plantaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus ciliaris longus | <anatomy, nerve> One of two or three branches of the nasociliary nerve, which by-pass the ciliary ganglion, supplying post-synaptic sympathetic fibres for the dilator pupillae muscle and sensory fibres for the ciliary muscles, iris, and cornea. Synonym: nervus ciliaris longus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus thoracicus longus | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the fifth, sixth, and seventh cervical nerves (roots of brachial plexus), descends the neck behind the brachial plexus, and is distributed to the serratus anterior muscle; it is somewhat unusual in that it courses on the superficial aspect of the muscle is supplies; its paralysis results in "winged scapula". Synonym: nervus thoracicus longus, Bell's respiratory nerve, external respiratory nerve of Bell, posterior thoracic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendon sheath of abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis muscles | The synovial sheath lining the compartment of the extensor retinaculum that contains the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis tendons. Synonym: vagina tendinum musculorum abductoris longi et extensoris brevis pollicis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendon sheath of extensor digitorum longus muscle of foot | The synovial sheath that surrounds the tendons of the extensor digitorum longus muscle and the peroneus tertius in their passage across the ankle. Synonym: vagina tendinum musculi extensoris digitorum pedis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendon sheath of extensor hallucis longus muscle | <anatomy> The synovial sheath that surrounds the tendon of the extensor hallucis longus in its passage across the ankle. Synonym: vagina tendinis musculi extensoris hallucis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendon sheath of extensor pollicis longus muscle | <anatomy> The synovial sheath surrounding the extensor pollicis longus tendon in its passage deep to the extensor retinaculum. Synonym: vagina tendinis musculi extensoris pollicis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendon sheath of flexor digitorum longus muscle of foot | The synovial sheath that envelops the flexor digitorum longus tendons as they pass into the foot deep to the flexor retinaculum. Synonym: vagina tendinum musculi flexoris digitorum pedis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendon sheath of flexor hallucis longus muscle | <anatomy> The synovial sheath that envelops the tendon of the flexor hallucis longus as it passes into the foot deep to the flexor retinaculum. Synonym: vagina tendinis musculi flexoris hallucis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |
