| palmar carpal branch of radial artery | <anatomy, artery> A small branch of the radial artery that passes medially across the wrist to supply the carpal joints; it anastomoses with the anterior carpal branch of the ulnar artery. Synonym: ramus carpalis palmaris arteriae radialis, ramus carpeus palmaris arteriae radialis. (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) |
| groove for radial nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The shallow groove that passes around the shaft of the humerus; it lodges the radial nerve and deep brachial artery. Synonym: sulcus nervi radialis, musculospiral groove, spiral groove. (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) |

| superficial branch of the radial nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Cutaneous terminal branch (with deep branch) which runs under cover of brachioradialis muscle to wrist, then supplies skin of proximal portion of the dorsal aspects of thumb, index, middle and lateral half of ring fingers and the portion of the dorsum of the hand located proximally. Synonym: ramus superficialis nervi radialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial palmar branch of radial artery | <anatomy, artery> The superficial palmar branch of the radial artery which supplies the thenar muscles then enters the palm to communicate with the superficial palmar arch from the ulnar artery.
