| intermediate vein of forearm | It begins at the base of the dorsum of the thumb, curves around the radial side, ascends the middle of the forearm, and just below the bend of the elbow divides into the intermediate basilic and intermediate cephalic veins; sometimes it divides lower down, one branch going to the basilic vein, the other to the intermediate vein of the elbow.

| transition state intermediate | In a chemical reaction, an unstable and high-energy configuration assumed by reactants on the way to making products. Enzymes are thought to bindand stabilise the transition state, thus lowering the energy of activation needed to drive the reaction to completion. (09 Oct 1997) |
| uveitis, intermediate | Inflammation of the pars plana, ciliary body, and adjacent structures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, intermediate-grade | One of the three major prognostic groupings for non-hodgkin lymphomas as proposed in the working formulation of the non-hodgkin's lymphoma pathologic classification project sponsored by the national cancer institute (1981). Lymphomas falling within this group have an intermediate survival potential. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ganglion cells of dorsal spinal root | Pseudounipolar nerve cell bodies in the ganglia of the dorsal spinal nerve roots; the sensory spinal nerves are composed of the peripheral axon branches of these sensory ganglion cell's, whereas the central axon branch of each such cell enters the spinal cord as a component of the dorsal root. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial dorsal cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The medial terminal branch of the superficial peroneal nerve, supplying the dorsum of the foot and dorsal nerves to the toes (except adjacent sides of great and second toes). Synonym: nervus cutaneus dorsalis medialis, dorsal medial cutaneous nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial dorsal sacrococcygeal ligament | <anatomy> The continuation of the supraspinal ligament from the sacrum to the coccyx. Synonym: ligamentum sacrococcygeum posterius superficiale, superficial posterior sacrococcygeal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial dorsal veins of clitoris | A pair of veins on the dorsum of the clitoris, tributary to the external pudendal vein on either side. Synonym: venae dorsales clitoridis superficiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial dorsal veins of penis | A pair of veins on the dorsum of the penis superficial to the fascia penis; they are tributaries of the external pudendal veins on each side. Synonym: venae dorsales penis superficiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep dorsal sacrococcygeal ligament | <anatomy> The continuation of the posterior longitudinal ligament uniting the sacrum and coccyx. Synonym: ligamentum sacrococcygeum posterius profundum, deep posterior sacrococcygeal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep dorsal vein of clitoris | A tributary of the vesical venous plexus; it runs a course deep to the fascia on the dorsum of the clitoris. Synonym: vena dorsalis clitoridis profunda. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep dorsal vein of penis | A vein on the dorsum of the penis deep to the fascia of the penis; it is a tributary to the prostatic venous plexus. Synonym: vena dorsalis penis profunda. (05 Mar 2000) |
