| cubital bone | A bone on the medial (ulnar) side of the proximal row of the carpus, articulating with the lunate, pisiform, and hamate. Synonym: os triquetrum, cubital bone, os pyramidale, os triangulare, pyramidal bone, pyramidale, three-cornered bone, triquetrum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cubital fossa | The fossa in front of the elbow, bounded laterally and medially by the humeral origins of the extensors and flexors of the forearm, respectively, and superiorly by an imaginary line connecting the humeral condyles. Synonym: fossa cubitalis, antecubital space, chelidon, triangle of elbow. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cubital joint | A compound hinge synovial joint between the humerus and the bones of the forearm; it consists of the articulatio humeroradialis and the articulatio humeroulnaris. Synonym: articulatio cubiti, cubital joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cubital nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans, the fibres of the ulnar nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually c7 to t1), travel via the medial cord of the brachial plexus, and supply sensory and motor innervation to parts of the hand and forearm. (12 Dec 1998) |
| intermediate cubital vein | <anatomy, vein> A vein which passes across the anterior aspect of the elbow from the cephalic vein to the basilic vein; commonly this vein is replaced by intermediate basilic and intermediate cephalic veins. The median cubital vein is often used for venipuncture. Synonym: vena intermedia cubiti, intermediate cubital vein, vena mediana cubiti. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Babes' nodes | Collections of lymphocytes in the central nervous system found in rabies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| big axillary nodes and normal breasts | <radiology> Consider: lymphoma, leukaemia, rheumatoid arthritis (12 Dec 1998) |
| ranvier's nodes | Regularly spaced gaps in the myelin sheaths of peripheral axons. Ranvier's nodes allow saltatory conduction, that is, jumping of impulses from node to node, which is faster and more energetically favourable than continuous conduction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mandibular nodes | One of the facial lymph nodes located by the facial artery near the point it crosses the mandible. Synonym: nodus mandibularis, mandibular nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal nodes | The lymph nodes draining the walls of the abdomen or of the pelvis. Synonym: nodi lymphatici parietales, parietal nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| visceral nodes | The lymph nodes draining the viscera of the abdomen or of the pelvis. Synonym: nodi viscerales, visceral nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retropyloric nodes | A group of lymph nodes located behind the pylorus. Synonym: nodi retropylorici, retropyloric nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| milkers' nodes | An infection of cows' udders by pseudocowpox virus, a member of the Poxviridae, that is transmitted to the fingers and hands of milkers, producing nodules and lymphangitis, and occasionally widespread papular or papulovesicular eruptions; human infection is transferable to uninfected cows. Synonym: milkers' nodes, paravaccinia, pseudocowpox. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Haygarth's nodes | <anatomy> Exostoses from the margins of the articular surfaces and from the periosteum and bone in the neighborhood of the joints of the fingers, leading to ankylosis and associated with lateral deflection of the fingers toward the ulnar side, which occur in rheumatoid arthritis. Synonym: Haygarth's nodosities. (05 Mar 2000) |
