| superior dental nerves | Three branches (posterior, middle, and anterior) of the maxillary nerve (or its continuation as the infraorbital nerve) that enter the maxilla to supply the mucosa of the maxillary sinus, upper teeth and gingiva. Synonym: nervi alveolares superiores, superior dental nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |

| decussation of trochlear nerves | The crossing of the two trochlear nerves at their exit through the velum medullare anterius. Synonym: decussatio nervorum trochlearium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep temporal nerves | Two branches, anterior and posterior, from the mandibular nerve, supplying the temporalis muscle and periosteum of the temporal fossa. Synonym: nervi temporales profundi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal digital nerves | Terminal branches of the radial and ulnar nerves in the hand supplying the skin of the dorsal surface of the proximal and middle phalanges of the fingers. Synonym: nervi digitales dorsales, dorsal digital nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal digital nerves of foot | Nerves supplying the skin of the dorsal aspect of the proximal and middle phalanges of the toes. Synonym: nervi digitales dorsales pedis, dorsal nerves of toes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal digital nerves of hand | Terminal branches of the radial and ulnar nerves in the hand supplying the skin of the dorsal surface of the proximal and middle phalanges of the fingers. Synonym: nervi digitales dorsales, dorsal digital nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal nerves of toes | Nerves supplying the skin of the dorsal aspect of the proximal and middle phalanges of the toes. Synonym: nervi digitales dorsales pedis, dorsal nerves of toes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intercostal nerves | The ventral rami of the thoracic nerves from segments t1 through t11. The intercostal nerves supply motor and sensory innervation to the thorax and abdomen. The skin and muscles supplied by a given pair are called, respectively, a dermatome and a myotome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| intercostobrachial nerves | Lateral cutaneous branches of the second and third intercostal nerves which pass to the skin of the medial side of the arm. Synonym: nervi intercostobrachiales, intercostohumeral nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intercostohumeral nerves | Lateral cutaneous branches of the second and third intercostal nerves which pass to the skin of the medial side of the arm. Synonym: nervi intercostobrachiales, intercostohumeral nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| olfactory nerves | Collective term denoting the numerous olfactory filaments: slender fascicles each composed of the thin, unmyelinated axons of 8 to 12 of the bipolar olfactory receptor cells in the olfactory portion of the nasal mucosa; the olfactory filaments pass through the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone and enter the olfactory bulb, where they terminate in synaptic contact with mitral cells, tufted cells, and granule cells. See: olfactory tract. Synonym: nervi olfactorii, fila olfactoria, first cranial nerve, nerve of smell, olfactory fila. (05 Mar 2000) |
| terminal nerves | Delicate plexiform nerve strands passing parallel and medial to the olfactory tracts, distributing peripherally with the olfactory nerves and passing centrally into the anterior perforated substance; they are considered to have an autonomic function but the exact nature of this is unknown. Synonym: terminal nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thoracic cardiac nerves | Part of the cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves from the second to fifth segments of the thoracic sympathetic trunk that pass medially and anteriorly to enter the cardiac plexus; they convey postsynaptic sympathetic fibres to, and visceral afferent (pain) fibres from, the heart. Synonym: nervi cardiaci thoracici, upper thoracic splanchnic nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thoracic nerves | The twelve pairs of spinal nerves that arise from the thoracic segments of the spinal cord, each pair leaving the vertebral column below the correspondingly numbered vertebra. They innervate the body wall of the thorax and abdomen. (12 Dec 1998) |
| thoracic spinal nerves | Twelve nerves on each side, mixed motor and sensory, supplying the muscles and skin of the thoracic and abdominal walls. Synonym: nervi thoracici. (05 Mar 2000) |
