| radial recurrent artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, radial; distribution, ascends around lateral side of elbow joint; anastomoses, radial collateral, interosseous recurrent. Synonym: arteria recurrens radialis, recurrent radial artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| radial reflex | On tapping the lower end of the radius, flexion of the forearm occurs, and sometimes, on strong percussion, flexion of the fingers. See: inverted radial reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radial scar | A variant of sclerosing adenosis of the breast with central scar formation and radiating hyperplastic ducts. Synonym: radial scar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radial sclerosing lesion | A variant of sclerosing adenosis of the breast with central scar formation and radiating hyperplastic ducts. Synonym: radial scar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radial spoke | The structure that links the outer microtubule doublet of the ciliary axoneme with the sheath that surrounds the central pair of microtubules. The spokes are arranged periodically along the axoneme every 29nm, have a stalk about 32nm long and a bulbous region adjacent to the sheath. at least 17 different polypeptides are associated with the spokes. Spokes are thought to restrict the sliding of doublets relative to one another, digestion of the radial spokes will allow sliding apart of the doublets. (18 Nov 1997) |
| radial styloid tendovaginitis | Fibrosis of the sheath of a tendon of the thumb. Synonym: radial styloid tendovaginitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radial tuberosity | An oval projection from the medial surface of the radius just distal to the neck, giving attachment on its posterior half to the tendon of the biceps. Synonym: tuberositas radii, bicipital tuberosity, tuber radii, tuberosity of radius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radial veins | Venae comitantes of the raidal artery continuing from those of the radial aspect of the deep palmar arch, draining into the venae comitantes of the brachial artery in the cubital fossa. Synonym: venae radiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recurrent radial artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, radial; distribution, ascends around lateral side of elbow joint; anastomoses, radial collateral, interosseous recurrent. Synonym: arteria recurrens radialis, recurrent radial artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Muller's radial cells | Sustentacular neuroglial cells of the retina running through the thickness of the retina from the internal limiting membrane to the bases of the rods and cones where they form a row of junctional complexes. Synonym: Muller's radial cells, sustentacular fibres of retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myometrial radial arteries | Continuations of the myometrial arcuate artery's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| short radial extensor muscle of wrist | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lateral epicondyle of humerus; insertion, base of third metacarpal bone; action, extends and abducts wrist radialward; nerve supply, radial. Synonym: musculus extensor carpi radialis brevis, short radial extensor muscle of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| syndrome, radial aplasia-thrombocytopenia | See syndrome, tar. (12 Dec 1998) |
| inverted radial reflex | Flexion of the fingers without flexion of the forearm, on tapping the lower end of the radius; regarded as indicating a lesion of the fifth cervical segment of the spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| keratotomy, radial | A procedure to treat myopia by cutting radial slits into the cornea to flatten it and thereby change its refractive properties. (12 Dec 1998) |
