| BAVCP | bilateral abductor vocal cord paralysis |
| umbilical cord | The flexible structure, giving passage to the umbilical arteries and vein, which connects the embryo or foetus to the placenta. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| lateral cord of brachial plexus | In the brachial plexus, the bundle of nerve fibres formed by the anterior divisions of the superior and middle trunks which is located lateral to the axillary artery. This cord gives off the lateral pectoral nerve and terminates by dividing into the musculocutaneous nerve and the lateral root of the median nerve. Synonym: fasciculus lateralis plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lumbar cord | That part of the cord that consists of the five lumbar segments and gives rise to the five pairs of lumbar nerves. Synonym: pars lumbalis medullae spinalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior intercostal branches of internal thoracic artery | One of the arteries supplying the anterior portions of the intercostal spaces of the thoracic wall. Anterior intercostal arteries 1-6 arise as branches of the internal thoracic artery; 7-11 arise as branches of the musculophrenic artery. Synonym: rami intercostales anteriores, rami intercostalis anteriores arteria thoracica interna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aorta, thoracic | The portion of the descending aorta proceeding from the arch of the aorta and extending to the diaphragm. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aortic aneurysm, thoracic | An aneurysm in the proximal portion of the descending aorta proceeding from the arch of the aorta and giving rise to the bronchial, oesophageal, pericardiac, and mediastinal branches. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arch of thoracic duct | See: thoracic duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arterial thoracic outlet syndrome | <syndrome> A rare disorder due to compression of the subclavian artery (with resultant poststenotic dilation) by a fully formed cervical rib; thrombi form in the dilated distal arterial segment, and distal limb ischemia may occur due to thromboembolic events. (05 Mar 2000) |
| asphyxiating thoracic chondrodystrophy | Hereditary hypoplasia of the thorax, associated with pelvic skeletal abnormality. Synonym: asphyxiating thoracic chondrodystrophy, Jeune's syndrome, thoracic-pelvic-phalangeal dystrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| asphyxiating thoracic dysplasia | Hereditary hypoplasia of the thorax, associated with pelvic skeletal abnormality. Synonym: asphyxiating thoracic chondrodystrophy, Jeune's syndrome, thoracic-pelvic-phalangeal dystrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiography, thoracic | X-ray visualization of the chest and organs of the thoracic cavity. It is not restricted to visualization of the lungs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| video-assisted thoracic surgery | A less morbid alternative to "open" thoracotomy that employs cameras, optic systems, percutaneous stapling devices, and assorted endoscopic graspers, retractors, and forceps. Also called video thoracoscopic surgery, it can be selectively applied to various pulmonary, pleural, and pericardial lesions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial anterior thoracic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A nerve that arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus to supply the pectoral muscles; usually pierces pectoralis minor, then continues to supply mainly the sternocostal portion of pectoralis major. Synonym: nervus pectoralis medialis, medial anterior thoracic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mediastinal branches of internal thoracic artery | <anatomy, artery> Small twigs supplying anterior mediastinal structures: mainly thymus and lymph nodes. Synonym: rami mediastinales arteriae thoracicae internae, rami thymici, anterior mediastinal arteries, arteriae thymicae, thymic arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mediastinal branches of thoracic aorta | Numerous small arteries supplying the pleura and lymph nodes of the posterior mediastinum. Synonym: rami mediastinales aortae thoracicae, posterior mediastinal arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
