| ramus lateralis ramorum lobaris medium arteriorum pulmonalium dextrorum | Lateral branch of middle lobe branch of right pulmonary artery. See: lateral branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus orbitofrontalis lateralis | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the insular part of the middle cerebral artery distributed to the cortex of the lateral, inferior part of the frontal lobe. Synonym: arteria frontobasalis lateralis, ramus orbitofrontalis lateralis, lateral orbitofrontal branch, orbitofrontal artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena atrii lateralis | A vein draining deep portions of the temporal and parietal lobes; it runs in the lateral wall of the lateral ventricle to terminate in the superior thalamostriate vein. Synonym: vena ventriculi lateralis lateralis, lateral atrial vein, lateral vein of lateral ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus posterior sulci lateralis cerebri | The long, posteriorly-directed continuation of the lateral cerebral sulcus which extends between the temporal lobe inferiorly and the parietal lobe superiorly, its termination surrounded by the supramarginal gyrus. Synonym: ramus posterior sulci lateralis cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus profundus nervi plantaris lateralis | <anatomy, nerve> Motor branch of lateral plantar nerve supplying lumbricals 2-4, plantar and dorsal interossei, and the adductor hallucis muscles. Synonym: ramus profundus nervi plantaris lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus superficialis nervi plantaris lateralis | <anatomy, nerve> Mostly cutaneous branch to skin of small and lateral half of fourth toes and lateral side of sole of foot, but also supplies the flexor digiti minimi brevis muscle and the most lateral dorsal and plantar interosseous muscles. Synonym: ramus superficialis nervi plantaris lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus transversus arteriae circumflexae femoris lateralis | Transverse branches of lateral femoral circumflex artery. See: transverse branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| raphe palpebralis lateralis | A narrow fibrous band in the lateral part of the orbicularis oculi muscle formed by the interlacing of fibres passing through the upper and lower eyelids. Synonym: raphe palpebralis lateralis, palpebral raphe. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena recessus lateralis ventriculi quarti | A small vein originating in the cerebellar tonsil, coursing by the lateral recess of the fourth ventricle on its way to terminate in the petrosal vein. Synonym: vein of lateral recess of fourth ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena thoracica lateralis | <anatomy, vein> A tributary of the axillary vein that drains the lateral thoracic wall and communicates with the thoracoepigastric and intercostal veins. Synonym: vena thoracica lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena ventriculi lateralis medialis | A vein that drains deep portions of the parietal and occipital lobes; it runs in the medial wall of the lateral ventricle to empty into the internal cerebral vein or the great cerebral vein. Synonym: vena ventriculi lateralis medialis, medial atrial vein, medial vein of lateral ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| geniculatus lateralis nucleus | The lateral one of a pair of small oval masses that protrude slightly from the posteroinferior aspects of the thalamus; its main (dorsal) subdivision serves as a processing station in the major pathway from the retina to the cerebral cortex, receiving fibres from the optic tract and giving rise to the geniculocalcarine radiation to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe. Synonym: corpus geniculatum laterale, corpus geniculatum externum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventriculus lateralis | A cavity shaped somewhat like a horseshoe in conformity with the general shape of the hemisphere; each lateral ventricle communicates with the third ventricle through the interventricular foramen of Monro, and expands from there forward into the frontal lobe as the anterior horn as well as caudally over the thalamus as the central part or cella media which, behind the thalamus, curves ventrally and laterally, then forward into the temporal lobe as the inferior horn; from the apex of the curve a variably sized posterior horn extends back into the white matter of the occipital lobe. The large choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle invades the cella media and the inferior horn (but not the anterior and posterior horn) from the medial side. Synonym: ventriculus lateralis, ventricle of cerebral hemisphere. (05 Mar 2000) |
