| right interlobar pulmonary artery | <radiology> Upper limit of normal: 15 mm (12 Dec 1998) |
| right pulmonary artery | <anatomy, artery> The longer of the two terminal branches of the pulmonary trunk, it passes transversely across the mediastinum passing inferior to the aortic arch to enter the hilum of the right lung. Branches are distributed with the bronchi; frequent variations occurs. Typical branches to the superior lobe (rami lobi superioris ) are apical (ramus apicalis ), anterior ascending (rami anterior ascendens ), anterior descending (ramus anterior descendens ), posterior ascending (ramus posterior ascendens ), and posterior descending (ramus posterior descendens ); to the middle lobe (rami lobi medii ) are medial (ramus medialis ) and lateral (ramus lateralis ); and to the inferior lobe (rami lobi inferioris ) are superior (apical) branch of inferior lobe (ramus superior (apicalis) lobi inferioris ), and the anterior, lateral (lateralis), medial (medialis) and posterior basal branches (rami basalis). Synonym: arteria pulmonalis dextra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ascending posterior branch | The ascending posterior branch of the superior lobar branch of the right pulmonary artery. Synonym: ramus posterior ascendens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior basal branch | Posterior basal branch of the basal part of the inferior lobar branch of the left and right pulmonary arteries. Synonym: ramus basalis posterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior branch of great auricular nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Provides general sensory fibres to skin of posterior auricle and over mastoid process. Synonym: ramus posterior nervi auricularis magni. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior branch of lateral cerebral sulcus | 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) |
| posterior branch of obturator nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch supplying obturator externus muscle, then passing posterior to adductor brevis, supplying it and the adductor portion of the adductor magnus muscle. Synonym: ramus posterior nervi obturatorii. (05 Mar 2000) |
