| rami temporales nervi facialis | <anatomy, nerve> <anatomy, neurology> Branches of facial nerve innervating the superior portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle and other muscles of facial expression above the eye. Synonym: rami temporales nervi facialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami temporales superficiales nervi auriculotemporalis | Branches of auriculotemporal nerve to anterolateral scalp. Synonym: rami temporales superficiales nervi auriculotemporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami tonsillares nervi glossopharyngei | <anatomy, nerve> Branches of glossopharyngeal nerve conducting sensory fibres from the palatine tonsillar fossa. Synonym: rami tonsillares nervi glossopharyngei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami tracheales nervi laryngei recurrentis | Tracheal branches of recurrent laryngeal nerve. See: tracheal branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami zygomatici nervi facialis | Branches of facial nerve crossing upper cheek to supply orbicularis oculi muscle. Synonym: rami zygomatici nervi facialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus cutaneus rami anterioris nervi obturatorii | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of the anterior branch of obturator nerve supplying skin of medial thigh above knee. Synonym: ramus cutaneus rami anterioris nervi obturatorii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus communicans nervi glossopharyngei cum ramo auriculari nervi vagalis | <anatomy, nerve> A small branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve which joins the auricular branch of the vagus, conveying tactile fibres. Synonym: ramus communicans cum nervo glossopharyngeo, ramus communicans nervi glossopharyngei cum ramo auriculari nervi vagalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami | Plural of ramus. Origin: L. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami ad pontem | An alternate term for pontine arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami articulares | Branches distributed to joints. Almost any vessel related to a joint will supply articular rami. Most joints receive articular branches from the intramuscular branches of the motor nerves innervating the muscles crossing the joint (see Hilton's law). at this printing, Nomina Anatomica, however, specifically recognises only the articular branches of the descending genicular artery, ramus articulares arteriae descendentis genicularis; supplying the knee joint. Synonym: rami articulares, joint branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami articulares arteriae descendentis genicularis | See: articular branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
