| dorsal digital veins of foot | They receive intercapitular veins from the plantar venous arch, join to form four common dorsal digital veins, and terminate in the dorsal venous arch. Synonym: venae digitales dorsales pedis, dorsal digital veins of toes. (05 Mar 2000) |

| dorsal digital veins of toes | They receive intercapitular veins from the plantar venous arch, join to form four common dorsal digital veins, and terminate in the dorsal venous arch. Synonym: venae digitales dorsales pedis, dorsal digital veins of toes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| indirect pulp capping | The application of a suspension of calcium hydroxide to a thin layer of dentin overlying the pulp (near exposure) in order to stimulate secondary dentin formation and protect the pulp. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infantile digital fibromatosis | Multiple fibrous flesh-coloured nodules on the extensor aspect of the terminal phalanges of adjacent digits of infants and young children which often recur after attempted excision, do not metastasize, and may spontaneously regress in two to three years; composed of spindle cells containing cytoplasmic inclusions believed to be derived from myofibrils. Synonym: infantile digital fibromatosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendinous chiasm of the digital tendons | Crossing of the tendons, the passage of the tendons of the flexor digitorum profundus (flexor digitorum longus in the foot) through the interval left by the decussation of the fibres of the tendons of the flexor digitorum superficialis (flexor digitorum brevis in the foot). Synonym: chiasma tendinum, Camper's chiasm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tooth pulp | <dentistry> A richly vascularised and innervated connective tissue of mesodermal origin, contained in the central cavity of a tooth and delimited by the dentin, and having formative, nutritive, sensory, and protective functions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| enamel pulp | A layer of stellate cells in the enamel organ. (05 Mar 2000) |
| exposed pulp | Pulp that has been exposed or laid bare by a pathologic process, trauma, or a dental instrument. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extensor digital expansion | A triangular tendinous aponeurosis including the tendon of the extensor digitorum centrally, interosseus tendons on each side, and a lumbrical tendon laterally. It covers the dorsal aspect of the metacarpophalangeal joint and the proximal phalanx. Synonym: dorsal hood, extensor aponeurosis, extensor expansion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrous digital sheaths of foot | Fibrous sheaths of the toes, the tubular fibrous layer enclosing the synovial sheath and the tendons of the long and short flexors of the toes and the flexor hallucis longus in the digits; they are composed of annular and cruciform parts. Synonym: vaginae fibrosae digitorum pedis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrous digital sheaths of hand | Fibrous sheaths of the digits of the hand, the tubular fibrous layers that enclose the synovial sheaths and the superficial and deep flexor tendons and the tendon of the flexor pollicis longus in their passage along their respective digits; they are composed of annular and cruciform parts. Synonym: vaginae fibrosae digitorum manus. (05 Mar 2000) |
