Synonym: ramus inferior nervi oculomotorii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus infrapatellaris nervi sapheni | Branch of saphenous nerve supplying skin over and below patella. Synonym: ramus infrapatellaris nervi sapheni. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus internus nervi accessorii | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of the accessory nerve trunk which carries fibres from the cranial root and which unites with the vagus nerve in the jugular foramen. See: accessory nerve. Synonym: ramus internus nervi accessorii, internal ramus of accessory nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus internus nervi laryngei superioris | <anatomy, nerve> Terminal branch of superior laryngeal nerve (with external branch) conveying sensory fibres to the supraglottic larynx. Synonym: ramus internus nervi laryngei superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
