| collagen-vascular diseases | A group of generalised disease's affecting connective tissue and frequently characterised by fibrinoid necrosis or vasculitis; in some collagen disease's, auto-immunization, particularly antinuclear antibodies, has been shown and circulating immune complexes are found. The term is not entirely acceptable because there is no evidence that collagen is primarily involved; "collagen" was once synonymous with "connective tissue" rather than describing a specific fibrinous protein in that tissue. See: connective-tissue diseases. (05 Mar 2000) |

| muscle, smooth, vascular | The nonstriated, involuntary muscle tissue of blood vessels. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Haller's vascular tissue | <anatomy> The outer portion of the choroid of the eye containing the largest blood vessels. Synonym: lamina vasculosa choroideae, Haller's vascular tissue, uvaeformis, vascular layer of choroid coat of eye, vascular layer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| skin diseases, vascular | Skin diseases affecting or involving the cutaneous blood vessels and generally manifested as inflammation, swelling, erythema, or necrosis in the affected area. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, vascular tissue | Neoplasms composed of vascular tissue. This concept does not refer to neoplasms located in blood vessels. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dementia, vascular | An organic mental disorder caused by systemic vascular disease such as arteriosclerotic changes in the vessels, valvular heart disease, hypertension, etc., and resulting in cerebral vascular disease with dementia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| systemic vascular resistance | An index of arteriolar compliance or constriction throughout the body; equal to the blood pressure divided by the cardiac output. (05 Mar 2000) |
| encephalotrigeminal vascular syndrome | <syndrome> Angiomatosis of the brain accompanied by nevi in the trigeminal area. See: Sturge-Weber syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endothelium, vascular | Single pavement layer of cells which line the luminal surface of the entire vascular system and regulate the transport of macromolecules and blood components from interstitium to lumen; this function has been most intensively studied in the blood capillaries. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Zinn's vascular circle | <anatomy, nerve> A network of branches of the short ciliary arteries on the sclera around the point of entrance of the optic nerve. Synonym: circulus vasculosus nervi optici, circulus arteriosus halleri, circulus zinnii, Haller's circle, Zinn's corona, Zinn's vascular circle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abdominopelvic splanchnic nerves | Visceral branches of the sympathetic trunks conveying presynaptic sympathetic fibres to and visceral afferent fibres from the prevertebral ganglia and para-aortic/hypogastric plexuses for the innervation of viscera located below the diaphragm. The greater, lesser, lowest, lumbar, and sacral splanchnic nerves belong to this group. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accelerator nerves | Certain of the cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves establishing the sympathetic innervation of the heart; originating from ganglion cells of the superior, middle, and inferior cervical ganglion of the sympathetic trunk, the unmyelinated efferent fibres of the accelerator nerve's stimulate an increase in the heart rate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory phrenic nerves | Accessory nerve strands that arise from the fifth cervical nerve, often as branches of the nerve to the subclavius, passing downward to join the phrenic nerve. Synonym: nervi phrenici accessorii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anococcygeal nerves | Several small nerves arising from the coccygeal plexus, supplying the skin over the coccyx. Synonym: nervi anococcygei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior auricular nerves | Branches of the auriculotemporal nerve that supply the tragus and upper part of the auricle. Synonym: nervi auriculares anteriores. (05 Mar 2000) |
