| nervi nervorum | Nerves distributed to the sheaths of nerve trunks. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| nuclei nervorum cranialium | Groups of nerve cells associated with the cranial nerves either as motor nuclei (nuclei originis) or sensory nuclei (nuclei terminationis). Synonym: nuclei nervorum cranialium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| decussatio nervorum trochlearium | The crossing of the two trochlear nerves at their exit through the velum medullare anterius. Synonym: decussatio nervorum trochlearium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| terminationes nervorum liberae | A form of peripheral ending of sensory nerve fibres in which the terminal filaments end freely in the tissue. Synonym: terminationes nervorum liberae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami | Plural of ramus. Origin: L. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami ad pontem | An alternate term for pontine arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami alveolares superiores anteriores nervi infraorbitalis | <anatomy, nerve> The branches of the superior alveolar nerve that supply the incisors, canines, premolars, and first molar by their contributions to the superior dental plexus. Synonym: rami alveolares superiores anteriores nervi infraorbitalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami alveolares superiores posteriores nervi maxillaris | <anatomy, nerve> The branches of the superior alveolar nerves that supply the maxillary sinus and the molar tooth. Synonym: rami alveolares superiores posteriores nervi maxillaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami articulares | Branches distributed to joints. Almost any vessel related to a joint will supply articular rami. Most joints receive articular branches from the intramuscular branches of the motor nerves innervating the muscles crossing the joint (see Hilton's law). at this printing, Nomina Anatomica, however, specifically recognises only the articular branches of the descending genicular artery, ramus articulares arteriae descendentis genicularis; supplying the knee joint. Synonym: rami articulares, joint branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami articulares arteriae descendentis genicularis | See: articular branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami atriales | The atrial branches, the branches of the right coronary artery and the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery distributed to the right and left atrium, respectively. Synonym: rami atriales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami auriculares anteriores arteriae temporalis superficialis | <anatomy, artery> Distribution, auricle, earlobe and external acoustic meatus. Synonym: rami auriculares anteriores arteriae temporalis superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami bronchiales | Left bronchial arteries arise from the thoracic aorta, the right from the first aortic intercostal or the upper left bronchial artery; they supply the bronchi and the lower trachea. (12 Dec 1998) |
| rami bronchiales segmentorum | Branches of segmental bronchi to the bronchopulmonary segments of the lungs. Synonym: rami bronchiales segmentorum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami buccales nervi facialis | <anatomy, nerve> Motor branches of the facial nerve distributed to buccina or muscle and other muscles of facial expression below orbit and above chin. Synonym: rami buccales nervi facialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
