| transverse atlantal ligament | Thick, strong, centrally flattened band spanning the vertebral foramen of the atlas as it extends from the medial aspect of one lateral mass to the other, passing dorsal to the dens with which it articulates; it forms the dorsal portion of the opening for the dens, tightly embracing its neck. It forms a part of the "cross-bar" of the cruciform ligament of the atlas. See: cruciform ligament of atlas. Synonym: ligamentum transversum atlantis, Lauth's ligament, transverse atlantal ligament.

| transverse auricular muscle | <anatomy> A band of sparse muscular fibres on the cranial surface of the auricle, extending from the eminence of the concha to the eminence of the scapha. Synonym: musculus transversus auriculae, transverse muscle of auricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse branches | Branches which run transversly. Nomina Anatomica lists transverse branches of 1) lateral femoral circumflex artery (ramus transversus arteriae circumflexae femoris lateralis ); and 2) medial femoral circumflex artery (ramus transversus arteriae circumflexae femoris medialis ). Synonym: ramus transversus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse carpal ligament | <anatomy> A strong fibrous band crossing the front of the carpus and binding down the flexor tendons of the digits and the flexor carpi radialis tendon and the median nerve; in so doing it creates the carpal tunnel. Synonym: retinaculum flexorum, deep part of flexor retinaculum, flexor retinaculum, ligamentum carpi transversum, ligamentum carpi volare, volar carpal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |

| transverse cervical nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the cervical plexus that supplies the skin over the anterior triangle of the neck. Synonym: nervus transversus colli, cutaneous cervical nerve, nervus cervicalis superficialis, superficial cervical nerve, transverse nerve of neck. (05 Mar 2000) |

| transverse crest | A horizontal ridge that divides the fundus of the internal acoustic meatus into a superior and an inferior area. In the former are the introitus of the facial canal and openings for the branches of the vestibular nerve to the utricle and to the ampullae of the anterior and lateral saemicircular canals. In the latter are openings for the cochlear nerve, and for branches of the vestibular nerve to the saccule and to the ampulla of the posterior saemicircular canal. Synonym: crista transversa, falciform crest, transverse crest. (05 Mar 2000) |
