| superficial branch of the transverse cervical artery | <anatomy, artery> Branch of transverse cervical artery which accompanies the spinal accessory nerve on the deep surface of the trapezius muscle. Alternatively arises as a direct branch of the thyrocervical trunk, in which case it is called the superficial cervical artery. (05 Mar 2000) |

| transverse | Lying or being across, or in a crosswise direction; athwart; often opposed to longitudinal. <geometry> Transverse axis (of an ellipse or hyperbola), that axis which passes through the foci. <botany> Transverse partition, a partition, as of a pericarp, at right angles with the valves, as in the siliques of mustard. Origin: L. Transversus, p. P. Of transvertere to turn on direct across; trans across + vertere to turn: cf. F. Transverse. See Verse, and cf. Traverse. 1. Anything that is transverse or athwart. 2. <geometry> The longer, or transverse, axis of an ellipse. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
