| common iliac artery | <anatomy, artery> One of the two terminal branches of the abdominal aorta; opposite the lumbosacral joint, it bifurcates to form the internal iliac and the external iliac. Synonym: arteria iliaca communis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common iliac lymph nodes | Nodes located in association with the common iliac vein; they are subdivided into five groups: intermediate (anterior) common iliac lymph nodes, between the common iliac artery and vein; lateral common iliac lymph nodes lateral to the vein; medial common iliac lymph nodes, medial to the vein; promontory common iliac lymph nodes at the sacral promontory; and subaortic common iliac lymph nodes, at the bifurcation of the aorta; they all receive afferent vessels from the external and internal iliac nodes and send efferent vessels to the lumbar nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici iliaci communes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common iliac vein | <anatomy, vein> Formed by the union of the external and internal iliac veins at the brim of the pelvis and passes upward behind the internal iliac artery to the right side of the body of the fifth lumbar vertebra where it unites with its fellow of the opposite side to form the inferior vena cava; the left common iliac vein is submitted to a pulsating compression by the right common iliac artery against the vertebral column which may result in partial obstruction of the vein. Synonym: vena iliaca communis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common intermediate | <biochemistry, chemistry> A molecule that is shared by two chemical reactions as a product of the first and a reactant in the second. (09 Oct 1997) |

| common migraine | A form of migraine headache without the visual prodrome, that is not limited on one side of the head but nevertheless is recognizable as migraine because of the stereotyped course; the tendency to nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia; and the relief produced by sleep.

| common opsonin | That normally present in the blood, i.e., without stimulation by a known, specific antigen such as certain complement components; it is relatively thermolabile and reacts with various organisms. Synonym: common opsonin, thermolabile opsonin. Specific opsonin, antibodies formed in response to stimulation by a specific antigen, either as a result of an attack of a disease, or injections with a suitably prepared suspension of the specific microorganism. Synonym: immune opsonin, thermostable opsonin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common palmar digital artery | <anatomy, artery> One of three arteries arising from the superficial palmar arch and running to the interdigital clefts where each divides into two proper palmar digital arteries. Synonym: arteria digitalis palmaris communis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common palmar digital nerves | Four nerves in the palm that send branches (proper palmar digital nerves) to adjacent sides of two digits; three are branches of the median, one is from the ulnar. Synonym: nervi digitales palmares communes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common peroneal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of the terminal divisions of the sciatic nerve, diverging from the tibial nerve at the upper end of the popliteal fossa, then coursing with the biceps tendon along the lateral portion of the popliteal space to wind around the neck of the fibula where it divides into the superficial and deep peroneal nerves. The common peroneal nerve, or its deep branch, is the most commonly injured nerve, being located in a lateral subcutaneous position at the fibular neck; a lesion causes a loss of ability to dorsiflex the foot ("foot drop"). Synonym: nervus fibularis communis, nervus peroneus communis, common fibular nerve, lateral popliteal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common peroneal tendon sheath | The sheath that surrounds the tendons of the peroneus longus and brevis muscles in their passage across the ankle. Synonym: vagina tendinum musculorum peroneorum communis, vagina tendinum musculorum fibularium communis. (05 Mar 2000) |
