| left coronary artery branches | <radiology> Left anterior descending (LAD) artery, diagonal branches, septal branches (short br. at 90' angle), left circumflex artery (LCA), obtuse marginal branches (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| left coronary vein | <anatomy, vein> Begins at the apex of the heart (where it anastomoses with the middle cardiac vein), runs first with the anterior interventricular artery as it ascends the anterior interventricular groove, then turns to the left as it approaches or reaches the coronary groove to run with the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery; it merges with the oblique vein of the left atrium to form the coronary sinus. Synonym: vena cordis magna, left coronary vein, vena cardiaca magna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left crus of atrioventricular bundle | The left leg or branch of the atrioventricular bundle which separates from the atrioventricular bundle just below the membranous portion of the interventricular septum to descend the septal wall of the left ventricle and begins to ramify subendocardially. Synonym: crus sinistrum fasciculi atrioventricularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left crus of diaphragm | The muscular origin of the diaphragm from the upper two or three lumbar vertebrae that ascends to the left of the aorta to reach the central tendon. Synonym: crus sinistrum diaphragmatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left duct of caudate lobe | A tributary to the left hepatic duct draining bile from the left half of the caudate lobe. Synonym: ductus lobi caudati sinister. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left fibrous trigone | The part of the fibrous skeleton of the heart located in the interval between the left side of the left atrioventricular ring and the aortic ring. Synonym: trigonum fibrosum sinistrum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left-footed | Denoting one who uses the left leg by preference. Synonym: left-footed. Origin: sinistro-+ L. Pes (ped-), foot (05 Mar 2000) |
| left gastric artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, coeliac; distribution, cardia of stomach at lesser curvature, abdominal part of the oesophagus, and, frequently, a portion of the left lobe of the liver via an aberrant left hepatic branch; anastomoses, oesophageal, right gastric. Synonym: arteria gastrica sinistra, coronary artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left gastric lymph nodes | Nodes located along the left gastric artery and its branches; they are divided into paracardial, upper and lower groups. Synonym: nodi lymphatici gastrici sinistri, superior gastric lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left gastric vein | <anatomy, vein> Arises from a union of veins from both surfaces of the cardia of the stomach and an oesophageal tributary from the cardiac portion of the oesophagus; it runs in the lesser omentum and empties into the portal vein. See: oesophageal veins. Synonym: vena gastrica sinistra, coronary vein, vena coronaria ventriculi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left gastroepiploic artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, splenic; distribution, greater curvature of stomach and greater omentum; anastomoses, right gastroepiploic and short gastric arteries. Synonym: arteria gastro-omentalis sinistra, arteria gastroepiploica sinistra, left gastro-omental artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left gastroepiploic lymph nodes | Nodes located in the greater omentum along the left gastroepiploic artery that drain part of the greater curvature of the stomach and greater omentum. Synonym: nodi lymphatici gastro-omentales sinistri, left gastro-omental nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left gastroepiploic vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein that accompanies the left gastroepiploic artery along the greater curvature of the stomach; it empties into the splenic vein. Synonym: vena gastro-omentalis sinistra, left gastroomental vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left gastro-omental artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, splenic; distribution, greater curvature of stomach and greater omentum; anastomoses, right gastroepiploic and short gastric arteries. Synonym: arteria gastro-omentalis sinistra, arteria gastroepiploica sinistra, left gastro-omental artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left gastro-omental nodes | Nodes located in the greater omentum along the left gastroepiploic artery that drain part of the greater curvature of the stomach and greater omentum. Synonym: nodi lymphatici gastro-omentales sinistri, left gastro-omental nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
