| nervus cochlearis | <anatomy, nerve> The cochlear part of the acoustic (8th cranial) nerve. The cochlear nerve fibres originate from neurons of the spiral ganglion and project peripherally to cochlear hair cells and centrally to the cochlear nuclei of the brainstem. They mediate the sense of hearing. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nervus cutaneus | <anatomy, nerve> A mixed nerve supplying a region of the skin, including its sensory endings, blood vessels, smooth muscle and glands. Synonym: nervus cutaneus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus cutaneus antebrachii lateralis | <anatomy, nerve> The terminal cutaneous branch of the musculocutaneous nerve that emerges between bicips brachii and brachialis muscles to supply the skin of the radial side of the forearm. Synonym: nervus cutaneus antebrachii lateralis, lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus cutaneus antebrachii medialis | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus, passes downward in company with the brachial artery and then the basilic vein, and supplies the skin of the anterior and ulnar surfaces of the forearm. Synonym: nervus cutaneus antebrachii medialis, medial cutaneous nerve of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus cutaneus antebrachii posterior | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the radial nerve supplying the skin of the dorsal surface of the forearm. Synonym: nervus cutaneus antebrachii posterior, posterior cutaneous nerve of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus cutaneus brachii lateralis inferior | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the radial nerve supplying the skin of the lower lateral aspect of the arm; it frequently is a branch of the posterior antebrachial nerve. Synonym: nervus cutaneus brachii lateralis inferior, lower lateral cutaneous nerve of arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus cutaneus brachii lateralis superior | <anatomy, nerve> The terminal branch of the axillary nerve supplying the skin over the lower portion of the deltoid and for a distance below its insertion. Synonym: nervus cutaneus brachii lateralis superior, upper lateral cutaneous nerve of arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus cutaneus brachii medialis | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus, unites in the axilla with the lateral cutaneous branch of the second intercostal nerve, and supplies the skin of the medial side of the arm. Synonym: nervus cutaneus brachii medialis, lesser internal cutaneous nerve, medial cutaneous nerve of arm, Wrisberg's nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus cutaneus brachii posterior | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the radial nerve supplying the skin of the posterior surface of the arm. Synonym: nervus cutaneus brachii posterior, posterior cutaneous nerve of arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus cutaneus dorsalis intermedius | Synonym: intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus cutaneus dorsalis lateralis | <anatomy, nerve> The continuation of the sural nerve in the foot, supplying the lateral margin and dorsum. Synonym: nervus cutaneus dorsalis lateralis, dorsal lateral cutaneous nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus cutaneus dorsalis medialis | <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) |
| nervus cutaneus femoris lateralis | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the second and third lumbar nerves, supplies the skin of the anterolateral and lateral surfaces of the thigh. Synonym: nervus cutaneus femoris lateralis, lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus cutaneus femoris posterior | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the first three sacral nerves, supplies the skin of the posterior surface of the thigh and of the popliteal region (S1 and S2 component); it gives off a perineal branch (S3 component) that passes to the lateral aspect of the scrotum or labia majora. Synonym: nervus cutaneus femoris posterior, posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh, small sciatic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
