| superficial temporal artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, a terminal branch of the external carotid (with maxillary artery); branches, transverse facial, middle temporal, orbital, parotid, anterior auricular, frontal, and parietal. Synonym: arteria temporalis superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial temporal branch of auriculotemporal nerve | Branches of auriculotemporal nerve to anterolateral scalp. Synonym: rami temporales superficiales nervi auriculotemporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial temporal plexus | An autonomic plexus of nerves on the artery of this name, derived from the external carotid plexus. Synonym: plexus temporalis superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial temporal veins | Veins that pass from the temporal region to join the maxillary vein to form the retromandibular vein. Synonym: venae temporales superficiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial vein | <anatomy, vein> One of a number of veins that course in the subcutaneous tissue and empty into deep veins; they form prominent systems of vessels in the limbs and are usually not accompanied by arteries. Synonym: vena cutanea, cutaneous vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial volar 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. Synonym: ramus palmaris superficialis arteriae radialis, superficial palmar artery, superficial volar artery, superficialis volae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar communicating branch of superficial radial nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Ulnar communicating branch of superficial branch of radial nerve, joining the dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve in the hand conveying sensation from the dorsal aspect of adjacent sides of the middle and ring fingers.

Synonym: crus laterale anuli inguinalis superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral superficial cervical lymph nodes | One to four nodes lying along the external jugular vein; they drain the skin and superficial structures over the region of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and send efferent vessels to the deep lateral cervical lymph nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici cervicales laterales superficiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frontal branch of superficial temporal artery | <anatomy, artery> Terminal branch of superficial temporal artery (with parietal branch) supplying anterolateral scalp and underlying musculature, periosteum, and outer table of cranium; anastomosis: across midline with contralateral partner; supratrochlear and supraorbital arteries. Synonym: ramus frontalis arteriae temporalis superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lesser superficial petrosal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The parasympathetic root of the otic ganglion, derived from the tympanic plexus; it leaves the tympanic cavity through the canal for the lesser petrosal nerve and passes within the cranium to the sphenopetrosal fissure, or to the foramen ovale, or to the petrosal foramen through which it descends to reach the otic ganglion; conveys presynaptic parasympathetic fibres from the glossopharyngeal nerve concerned with secretomotor innervation of the perotid gland. Synonym: nervus petrosus minor, lesser petrosal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
