| inferior branches of transverse cervical nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of transverse cervical nerve providing cutaneous innervation in lower part of anterior triangle of neck. Synonym: rami inferiores nervi transversi cervicalis [colli]. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| inferior branch of oculomotor nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of oculomotor nerve providing motor branches to medial and inferior rectus and inferior oblique muscles and carrying presynaptic parasympathetic fibres which pass to the ciliary ganglion via the parasympathetic root. Synonym: ramus inferior nervi oculomotorii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior cervical cardiac branches of vagus nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The most inferior of the cervical branches of vagus nerve conducting presynaptic parasympathetic fibres to, and reflex afferent fibres from, the cardiac plexus; branching from the vagi at root of neck. Synonym: rami cardiaci cervicales inferiores nervi vagi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior cervical cardiac nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A nerve passing from the stellate ganglion to the cardiac plexus. Synonym: nervus cardiacus cervicalis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior dental nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of the terminal branches of the mandibular, it enters the mandibular canal to be distributed to the lower teeth, periosteum, and gingiva of the mandible; a branch, the mental nerve, passes through the mental foramen to supply the skin and mucosa of the lower lip and chin. Synonym: nervus alveolaris inferior, inferior dental nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior ganglion of glossopharyngeal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The lower of two sensory ganglion's on the glossopharyngeal nerve as it traverses the jugular foramen. Synonym: ganglion inferius nervi glossopharyngei, Andersch's ganglion, extracranial ganglia, ganglion extracraniale, petrosal ganglion, petrous ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior ganglion of vagus nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A large sensory ganglion of the vagus, anterior to the internal jugular vein. Synonym: ganglion inferius nervi vagi, ganglion of trunk of vagus, nodose ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior gluteal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the fifth lumbar and first and second sacral nerves, and supplies the gluteus maximus muscle. It is subject to injury by compression and ischemia in sedentary individuals, resulting in difficulty in rising from a sitting position and difficulty climbing stairs. Synonym: nervus gluteus inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior labial branches of mental nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branches of mental nerve to lower lip. Synonym: rami labiales inferiores nervi mentalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior laryngeal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The terminal branch of the recurrent laryngeal nerve; it supplies the laryngeal mucosa inferior to the vocal folds and all laryngeal muscles except the cricothyroid. Synonym: nervus laryngeus inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior maxillary nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the trigeminal (5th cranial) nerve. The mandibular nerve carries motor fibres to the muscles of mastication and sensory fibres to the teeth and gingivae, the face in the region of the mandible, and parts of the dura. (12 Dec 1998) |
| inferior part of vestibulocochlear nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The cochlear part of the acoustic (8th cranial) nerve. The cochlear nerve fibres originate from neurons of the spiral ganglion and project peripherally to cochlear hair cells and centrally to the cochlear nuclei of the brainstem. They mediate the sense of hearing. (12 Dec 1998) |
| inferior root of vestibulocochlear nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of the components of the vestibulocochlear nerve; it is made up of the central processes of the bipolar neurons which compose the spiral (cochlear) ganglion in the spiral canal of the modiolus of the bony cochlea; the cochlear root enters the cranial cavity by passing in fascicles through the spiral foraminous tract at the bottom of the internal auditory meatus; it enters the brainstem through the pontomedullary groove, closely adhering to the caudoventral aspect of the vestibular root, and distributes its fibres to the ventral and dorsal cochlear nuclei in the floor of the lateral recess of the fourth ventricle. Synonym: radix cochlearis, cochlear root of vestibulocochlear nerve, inferior root of vestibulocochlear nerve, radix inferior nervi vestibulocochlearis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branches of auriculotemporal nerve to facial nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branches conveying fibres from the auriculotemporal nerve to the facial nerve. Synonym: rami communicantes nervi auriculotemporalis cum nervo faciali. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branches of lingual nerve to hypoglossal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Communicating branches between the lingual nerve (from mandibular nerve) and hypoglossal nerve forming a plexus on the hypoglossus muscle. Synonym: rami communicantes nervi lingualis cum nervo hypoglosso. (05 Mar 2000) |
