| upper thoracic splanchnic 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) |

| lateral anterior thoracic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A nerve that arises from the lateral cord of the brachial plexus usually passing medial to pectoralis minor to supply the sternoclavicular head of pectoralis major. Synonym: nervus pectoralis lateralis, lateral anterior thoracic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral costal branch of internal thoracic artery | <anatomy, artery> A variable branch of internal thoracic artery that runs lateral and parallel to the internal thoracic artery on the deep surface of the rib cage; anastomosis: posterior intercostal arteries. Synonym: ramus costalis lateralis arteriae thoracicae internae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral cutaneous branches of ventral primary ramus of thoracic spinal nerves | Branches arising in approximately the anterior axillary line at the level of the second through sixth intercostal spaces. Synonym: rami mammarii laterales nervorum intercostalium, lateral cutaneous branches of intercostal nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral mammary branches of lateral cutaneous branches of thoracic spinal nerves | Branches arising from the lateral cutaneous branches of the ventral primary rami of spinal nerves (intercostal nerves) T-3 to T-6 which run anteriorly to supply the lateral aspect of the breast. Synonym: rami mammarii laterales rami cutanei lateralis nervorum thoracicorum, rami mammarii laterales rami cutanei lateralis nervorum intercostalium, lateral mammary branches of lateral cutaneous branches of intercostal nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral mammary branches of lateral thoracic artery | <anatomy, artery> Branches of the lateral thoracic artery which extend around the lateral borders of the pectoral muscles to supply the lateral aspect of the breast and mammary gland. Synonym: rami mammarii laterales arteriae thoracicae lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral thoracic artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, axillary; distribution, muscles of chest and mammary gland. Synonym: arteria thoracica lateralis, external mammary artery, long thoracic artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral thoracic vein | <anatomy, vein> A tributary of the axillary vein that drains the lateral thoracic wall and communicates with the thoracoepigastric and intercostal veins. Synonym: vena thoracica lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| long thoracic artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, axillary; distribution, muscles of chest and mammary gland. Synonym: arteria thoracica lateralis, external mammary artery, long thoracic artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| long thoracic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the fifth, sixth, and seventh cervical nerves (roots of brachial plexus), descends the neck behind the brachial plexus, and is distributed to the serratus anterior muscle; it is somewhat unusual in that it courses on the superficial aspect of the muscle is supplies; its paralysis results in "winged scapula". Synonym: nervus thoracicus longus, Bell's respiratory nerve, external respiratory nerve of Bell, posterior thoracic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| long thoracic vein | <anatomy, vein> Incorrect term for lateral thoracic vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abdominal part of aorta | <anatomy> The largest arterial conduit below the diaphragm. This term refers to the portion of the aorta below the diaphragm to the bifurcation into the right and left common iliac arteries. It supplies blood to the abdominal viscera, pelvic organs and lower extremities. (20 Jun 2000) |
