| colliculus inferior | The ovoid, paired, inferior eminence of the laminae of mesencephalic tectum; it receives the lateral lemniscus and projects by way of the brachium of inferior colliculus to the medial geniculate body of the thalamus, and is thus an essential way-station in the central auditory pathway. Synonym: colliculus inferior, corpus quadrigeminum posterius, inferior nasal colliculus, posterior quadrigeminal body. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| commissure of inferior colliculi | Nerve fibres on the midline between the two inferior colliculi connecting the colliculi and containing some fibres originating from nontectal nuclei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| concha nasalis inferior | A thin, spongy, bony plate with curved margins, on the lateral wall of the nasal cavity, separating the middle from the inferior meatus; it articulates with the ethmoid, lacrimal, maxilla, and palate bones, the above bony plate and its thick mucoperiosteum containing an extensive cavernous vascular bed for heat exchange. Synonym: concha nasalis inferior, inferior turbinated bone, turbinated body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus dentalis inferior | Formed by branches of the inferior alveolar nerve interlacing before they supply the teeth; it gives off interior dental branches to the teeth and inferior gingival branches to the gums. Synonym: plexus dentalis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus hypogastricus inferior | One of the bilateral autonomic plexus in the pelvis distributed to the pelvic viscera; it receives the hypogastric nerves and the pelvic splanchnic nerves. Synonym: plexus hypogastricus inferior, plexus pelvinus, pelvic plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus mesentericus inferior | An autonomic plexus, derived from the abdominal aortic plexus, surrounding the inferior mesenteric artery and sending branches to the descending colon, sigmoid, and rectum. Synonym: plexus mesentericus inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus thyroideus inferior | An autonomic plexus on the artery of this name, derived from the subclavian plexus. Synonym: plexus thyroideus inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus vesicalis inferior | A venous plexus in the female corresponding to the prostatic venous plexus in the male. Synonym: plexus vesicalis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plica duodenalis inferior | A fold of peritoneum bounding the inferior duodenal recess. Synonym: plica duodenalis inferior, plica duodenomesocolica, duodenomesocolic fold. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus constrictor pharyngis inferior | Origin, outer surfaces of thyroid (thyropharyngeal part) and cricoid (cricopharyngeal part, musculus cricopharyngeus; superior or upper oesophageal sphincter muscle) cartilages; insertion, pharyngeal raphe in the posterior portion of wall of pharynx; action, narrows lower part of pharynx in swallowing, the cricopharyngeal part has a sphincteric function for the oesophagus, allowing some voluntary control of eructation and reflux; nerve supply, pharyngeal plexus. Synonym: musculus constrictor pharyngis inferior, cricopharyngeus muscle, laryngopharyngeus, musculus laryngopharyngeus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus gemellus inferior | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, tuberosity of ischium; insertion, tendon of musculus obturator internus; action, rotates thigh laterally; nerve supply, sacral plexus. Synonym: musculus gemellus inferior, gemellus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus longitudinalis inferior | An intrinsic muscle of the tongue, cylindrical in shape, occupying the underpart on either side; action, shortens the lower part of the tongue; nerve supply, motor by hypoglossal, sensory by lingual. Synonym: musculus longitudinalis inferior, inferior lingual muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus obliquus capitis inferior | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, spinous process of axis; insertion, transverse process of the atlas; action, rotates head; origin, spinous process of axis; insertion, transverse process of the atlas; nerve supply, suboccipital. See: suboccipital muscles. Synonym: musculus obliquus capitis inferior, inferior oblique muscle of head. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus obliquus inferior | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, orbital plate of maxilla lateral to the lacrimal groove; insertion, sclera between the superior and lateral recti; action, primary, extorsion; secondary, elevation and abduction; nerve supply, oculomotor (inferior branch). Synonym: musculus obliquus inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus rectus inferior | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, inferior part of the common tendinous ring; insertion, inferior part of sclera of the eye; action, primary, depression; secondary, adduction and extorsion; nerve supply, oculomotor (inferior branch). Synonym: musculus rectus inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
