| bifurcate ligament | <anatomy> A strong V-shaped ligament on the dorsum of the foot that passes from the calcaneus distal to the tarsal sinus and attaches to cuboid and navicular bones; it is divided into the dorsal calcaneocuboid ligament and the calcaneonavicular ligament. Synonym: ligamentum bifurcatum, bifurcated ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Bigelow's ligament | <anatomy> A triangular ligament attached by its apex to the anterior inferior spine of the ilium and rim of the acetabulum, and by its base to the anterior intertrochanteric line of the femur; the strong medial band is attached to the lower part of the intertrochanteric line; the strong lateral part is fixed to the tubercle at the upper part of this line; the bands diverge, forming a Y-like figure with a weak area between; among the strongest of the body's ligaments, it limits extension at the hip joint. Synonym: ligamentum iliofemorale, Bertin's ligament, Bigelow's ligament, hypsiloid ligament, Y-shaped ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Botallo's ligament | The remains of the ductus arteriosus. Synonym: arterial ligament, Botallo's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bourgery's ligament | <anatomy> Reflected tendon of insertion of semimembranous muscle; a fibrous band that extends across the back of the knee from its separation from the direct tendon of insertion on the medial condyle of the tibia to the lateral condyle of the femur. Synonym: ligamentum popliteum obliquum, Bourgery's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| broad ligament | <anatomy> A broad fold of peritoneum that extends from the side of the uterus to the wall of the pelvis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| broad ligament of the uterus | The peritoneal fold passing from the lateral margin of the uterus to the wall of the pelvis on either side, and in so doing also ensheathing the ovaries and uterine tubes. Synonym: ligamentum latum uteri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Brodie's ligament | <anatomy> A fibrous band running more or less obliquely from the greater to the lesser tuberosity of the humerus, bridging over the bicipital groove. Synonym: Brodie's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Burns' ligament | The upper part of the falciform margin of the opening in the fascia lata through which the greater saphenous vein passes. Synonym: cornu superius marginalis falciformis, Burns' falciform process, Burns' ligament, Hey's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcaneocuboid ligament | <anatomy> The lateral part of the bifurcate ligamentum. Synonym: ligamentum calcaneocuboideum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcaneofibular ligament | <anatomy> The middle of the three fascicles that form the lateral collateral ligament of the ankle joint, reinforcing the lateral side of the ankle joint; the remaining two ligaments of the lateral collateral ligaments are the anterior and posterior talofibular ligaments. Synonym: ligamentum calcaneofibulare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcaneonavicular ligament | <anatomy> The medial part of the ligamentum bifurcatum. Synonym: ligamentum calcaneonaviculare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcaneotibial ligament | <anatomy> The part of the medial or deltoid ligament that extends from the medial malleolus to the sustentaculum tali of the calcaneus. Synonym: pars tibiocalcanea ligamenti medialis, calcaneotibial ligament, ligamentum calcaneotibiale, tibiocalcaneal part of deltoid ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Caldani's ligament | <anatomy> The strong ligament that unites the clavicle to the coracoid process; it is subdivided into the conoid ligamentum and the trapezoid ligamentum. The free upper limb is passively suspended from the clavicular "strut" by the coracoclavicular ligament; the ligament also plays an important role in preventing dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint. Synonym: ligamentum coracoclaviculare, Caldani's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Campbell's ligament | The continuation of the clavipectoral fascia downward to attach to the axillary fascia; it maintains the characteristic hollow of the armpit. Synonym: Campbell's ligament, Gerdy's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Camper's ligament | The layer of fascia extending between the ischiopubic rami inferior to the sphincter urethrae and the deep transverse perineal muscles. Synonym: membrana perinei, fascia diaphragmatis urogenitalis inferior, Camper's ligament, ligamentum triangulare, perineal membrane, triangular ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
