| recessus duodenalis inferior | The variable peritoneal recess which lies behind the inferior duodenal fold and along the ascending part of the duodenum. Synonym: recessus duodenalis inferior, Gruber-Landzert fossa, inferior duodenal fossa. (05 Mar 2000) |

| recessus ileocaecalis inferior | A deep fossa sometimes found between the ileocaecal fold, the mesoappendix, and the caecum. Synonym: recessus ileocaecalis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recessus inferior omentalis | A recess of the omental bursa extending between anterior and posterior layers of the great omentum. Synonym: recessus inferior omentalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paries inferior orbitae | The floor of the orbit; the shortest of the four walls of the orbit, sloping upward from the orbital margin; it is comprised of the maxilla and orbital process of the palatine bone. Synonym: paries inferior orbitae, inferior wall of orbit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars inferior | The lowermost portion of a structure relative to the other parts; portion closest to the soles of the feet. See: inferior part of duodenum, inferior part of lingular branch of left pulmonary vein, inferior part of vestibular ganglion. Synonym: pars inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars inferior duodeni | pars horizontalis duodeni, inferior part of duodenum, pars inferior duodeni |
| pars inferior ganglii vestibularis | The lower part of the vestibular ganglion that receives fibres from the macula of the saccule and the ampulla of the posterior saemicircular duct. Synonym: pars inferior ganglii vestibularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars inferior rami lingularis | An alternate term for inferior part of lingular branch of left pulmonary vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glandular branches of inferior thyroid artery | <anatomy, artery> Branches of inferior thyroid artery to thyroid and parathyroid glands, anastomosing with branches of superior thyroid artery. Synonym: rami glandulares arteriae thyroideae inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| regions of inferior limb | The topographic divisions of the lower limb: gluteal, thigh (or femoral), knee, leg (or crural), ankle, and foot. Synonym: regiones membri inferioris, regions of inferior limb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial inferior genicular artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, popliteal; distribution, knee joint; anastomoses, anterior and posterior tibial recurrent and medial superior genicular, i.e., articular vascular network of knee. Synonym: arteria genus inferior medialis, medial inferior genicular artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pedunculus cerebellaris inferior | Large paired bundles of nerve fibres which develop on the dorsolateral surfaces of the upper medulla, extend under the lateral recesses of the rhomboid fossa and curve dorsally into the cerebellum medial to the middle cerebellar peduncle; composed of a larger (lateral) bundle, the restiform body, and a small (medial) bundle, the juxtarestiform body. Fibres forming this composite bundle originate from spinal neurons and medullary relay nuclei. The largest constituent (restiform body) is crossed fibres from the inferior olive; it also contains the dorsal spinocerebellar tract and cerebellar projections from the lateral reticular nucleus, the accessory cuneate nucleus, the paramedian reticular nuclei and the perihypoglossal nuclei. Vestibulocerebellar fibres are placed medially in the inferior cerebellar peduncle and are usually separately identified as the juxtarestiform body. Synonym: pedunculus cerebellaris inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pedunculus thalami inferior | A large fibre bundle emerging from the anterior part of the thalamus in the ventral direction, in part joining the medial fibres of the internal capsule, in other part curving laterally around the medial margin of the capsule into the innominate substance. Many of its fibres establish a reciprocal connection of the mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus with the orbital gyri of the frontal lobe, but numerous other fibres constitute a conduction system from the amygdala and olfactory cortex to the mediodorsal nucleus. See: ansa peduncularis. Synonym: pedunculus thalami inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mesenteric artery, inferior | The artery supplying nearly all the left half of the transverse colon, the whole of the descending colon, the sigmoid colon, and the greater part of the rectum. It is smaller than the superior mesenteric artery (mesenteric artery, superior) and arises from the aorta above its bifurcation into the common iliac arteries. (12 Dec 1998) |
| right inferior pulmonary vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein returning oxygenated blood from the inferior lobe of the right lung to the left atrium. Synonym: vena pulmonalis inferior dextra. (05 Mar 2000) |
