| MCLNS, MCLS | mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome |
|---|---|
| MLN | manifest latent nystagmus; membranous lupus nephropathy; mesenteric lymph node; motilin |

| PLN | peripheral lymph node; phospholamban |
| PLND | pelvic lymph node dissection |
| tibial communicating nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the tibial in the popliteal space, passes down the calf between the two heads of the gastrocnemius and unites in the middle of the leg with the communicating branch of the common peroneal to form the sural nerve, distributed to the skin of the distal and lateral surfaces of the leg and ankle. Synonym: nervus cutaneus surae medialis, medial cutaneous nerve of leg, popliteal communicating nerve, tibial communicating nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |

| tibial crest | The sharp subcutaneous ridge of the tibia that extends from the tuberosity to the anterior part of the medial malleolus. Synonym: margo anterior tibiae, anticnemion, shin, tibial crest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tibial intertendinous bursa | <anatomy> The bursa between the tibial collateral ligament of the knee joint and the tendons of the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus muscles. Synonym: bursa anserina, tibial intertendinous bursa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tibial nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The medial terminal branch of the sciatic nerve. The tibial nerve fibres originate in lumbar and sacral spinal segments (l4 to s2). They supply motor and sensory innervation to parts of the calf and foot. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tibial phenomenon | Dorsal flexion of the great toe, sometimes of the entire foot, in a paralysed limb when the extremity is drawn up against the body, flexing both knee and hip. Synonym: tibial phenomenon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tibial tuberosity | An oval elevation on the anterior surface of the tibia about 3 cm distal to the articular surface, giving attachment at its distal part to the patellar ligament. Synonym: tuberositas tibiae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior part of anterior commissure of brain | The anterior part of the anterior or rostral commissure of the brain. Synonym: pars anterior commissurae rostralis, pars anterior commissurae anterioris cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| artery to atrioventricular node | The atrioventricular branches or the nodal branches, the small arteries supplying the atrioventricular node; they usually arise from the right coronary artery where it starts to descend the posterior interventricular sulcus. Synonym: ramus nodi atrioventricularis, atrioventricular nodal branch, branch to atrioventricular node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| artery to the sinuatrial node | Ascending atrial branch, usually (55%) arising from the anterior stem of the right coronary artery (but 35-45% arising from the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery), which runs around the base of the superior vena cava to reach the sinuatrial node. Synonym: ramus nodi sinuatrialis arteriae coronaria dextra, branch to sinuatrial node, sinuatrial nodal branch of right coronary artery, sinuatrial node artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular node | <cardiology> The location in the heart's conduction system, between the atria and the ventricles, which conducts the normal electrical impulse from the atria to the ventricles. (27 Sep 1997) |
| A-V node | <cardiology> The location in the heart's conduction system, between the atria and the ventricles, which conducts the normal electrical impulse from the atria to the ventricles. (27 Sep 1997) |
| axillary node | <anatomy> The lymph nodes in the axilla (underarm) that are cut out and examined during surgery to see if the cancer has spread past the breast. The number of nodes in this area varies. (09 Oct 1997) |
| branch to atrioventricular node | The atrioventricular branches or the nodal branches, the small arteries supplying the atrioventricular node; they usually arise from the right coronary artery where it starts to descend the posterior interventricular sulcus. Synonym: ramus nodi atrioventricularis, atrioventricular nodal branch, branch to atrioventricular node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| branch to sinuatrial node | Ascending atrial branch, usually (55%) arising from the anterior stem of the right coronary artery (but 35-45% arising from the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery), which runs around the base of the superior vena cava to reach the sinuatrial node. Synonym: ramus nodi sinuatrialis arteriae coronaria dextra, branch to sinuatrial node, sinuatrial nodal branch of right coronary artery, sinuatrial node artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| buccal node | One of the chain of facial lymph nodes located superficial to the buccinator muscle. Synonym: nodus buccinatorius, buccinator node, buccal node. (05 Mar 2000) |
