| lymph nodes of elbow | Two groups of nodes, superficial and deep, lying along the basilic vein above the medial epicondyle; they receive afferents from the ulnar side of the forearm and hand, and send efferents to the brachial nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici cubitales, epitrochlear nodes, lymph nodes of elbow. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior inferior iliac spine | Spine on the anterior border of the ilium between the anterior superior iliac spine and the acetabulum; site of origin for the direct head of the rectus femoris muscle. Synonym: spina iliaca anterior inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior superior iliac spine | The anterior extremity of the iliac crest, which provides attachment for the inguinal ligament and the sartorius muscle. Synonym: spina iliaca anterior superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circumflex iliac arteries | See: deep circumflex iliac artery, superficial circumflex iliac artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior inferior iliac spine | Spine at the inferior end of the posterior border of the ilium between the posterior superior iliac spine and the greater sciatic notch; it forms the upper margin of the latter. Synonym: spina iliaca posterior inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior superior iliac spine | The posterior extremity of the iliac crest, the uppermost point of attachment of the sacrotuberous and posterior sacroiliac ligaments; a readily apparent dimple occurs in the skin overlying the posterior superior iliac spine which is clinically useful as an indication of the level of the S-2 vertebra, the level of the inferior limit of the subarachnoid space. Synonym: spina iliaca posterior superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| subtendinous iliac bursa | <anatomy> The bursa at the attachment of the iliopsoas muscle into the lesser trochanter. Synonym: bursa subtendinea iliaca, iliac bursa. (05 Mar 2000) |
