| triceps muscle of arm | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, long or scapular head: lateral border of scapula below glenoid fossa, lateral head: lateral and posterior surface of humerus below greater tubercle, medial head: posterior surface of humerus below radial groove; insertion, olecranon of ulna; action, extends elbow; nerve supply, radial. Synonym: musculus triceps brachii, triceps muscle of arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral surface of arm | The lateral surface of the arm. Synonym: facies lateralis brachii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lower lateral cutaneous nerve of arm | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the radial nerve supplying the skin of the lower lateral aspect of the arm; it frequently is a branch of the posterior antebrachial nerve. Synonym: nervus cutaneus brachii lateralis inferior, lower lateral cutaneous nerve of arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arterial arch of upper eyelid | Formed by communicating branches of the medial and lateral palpebral arteries. Often two arches are present, one located near the free border of the tarsal plate, the other along the upper border of the tarsus. Synonym: arcus palpebralis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bones of upper extremity | The bones of the upper and lower arm. They include the clavicle and scapula. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bones of upper limb | These include the superior limb girdle (scapula and clavicle) and the skeleton of the free superior limb (humerus, radius, ulna, wrist bones, metacarpus, and bones of the fingers). Synonym: ossa membri superioris, bones of superior limb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| regions of upper limb | The topographic divisions of the upper limb: deltoid, arm, elbow, forearm, carpal region, and hand. Synonym: regiones membri superioris, regions of superior limb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| denture, complete, upper | A complete denture replacing all the natural maxillary teeth and associated maxillary structures. It is completely supported by the oral tissue and underlying maxillary bone. (12 Dec 1998) |
| quadrate muscle of upper lip | Composed of three heads usually described as three separate muscles; they are the caput angulare or levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle; caput infraorbitale or levator labii superioris muscle; caput zygomaticum or zygomaticus minor muscle. Synonym: quadrate muscle of upper lip. (05 Mar 2000) |
| elevator muscle of upper eyelid | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, orbital surface of the lesser wing of the sphenoid, above and anterior to the optic canal; insertion, skin of eyelid, tarsal plate, and orbital walls, by medial and lateral expansions of the aponeurosis of insertion; action, raises the upper eyelid; nerve supply, oculomotor. Synonym: musculus levator palpebrae superioris, elevator muscle of upper eyelid, musculus orbitopalpebralis, palpebralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| elevator muscle of upper lip | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, maxilla below infraorbital foramen; insertion, orbicularis oris of upper lip; action, elevates upper lip; nerve supply, facial. Synonym: musculus levator labii superioris, caput infraorbitale quadrati labii superioris, elevator muscle of upper lip. (05 Mar 2000) |
