| rami oesophagei nervi laryngei recurrentis | <anatomy, nerve> Supply motor and sensory fibres to cervical oesophagus on right side and to cervical and upper thoracic oesophagus on left. Synonym: rami oesophagei nervi laryngei recurrentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami oesophagei nervi vagi | <anatomy, nerve> Includes both branches passing directly from vagi and the branches from the recurrent laryngeal nerves that form the oesophageal nerve plexus which surrounds oesophagus, supplying it and adjacent portions of the pericardium. Synonym: rami oesophagei nervi vagi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami omentales | Branches to the greater omentum; epiploic branches arise from the left and right gastroepiploic arteries (rami omentales arteriae gastro-omentalis sinistrae et dextrae ) opposite the gastric branches (rami gastrici ) along the greater curvature of the stomach. Synonym: rami omentales, omental branches, rami epiploicae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami palpebrales nervi infratrochlearis | <anatomy, nerve> Branches of infratrochlear nerve supplying skin of medial aspects of upper and lower eyelids. Synonym: rami palpebrales nervi infratrochlearis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami pancreatici | Branches to the pancreas. Nomina Anatomica lists pancreatic branches of 1) splenic artery, rami pancreatici arteriae splenicae; 2) superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries, rami pancreatici arteriae pancreaticoduodenalis superioris. Synonym: rami pancreatici. (05 Mar 2000) |

| rami parietales | Branches coursing in relationship to and supplying the parietal bone or parietal lobe of cerebrum, branches distributed to the body wall and limbs (the "parities") as opposed to visceral branches distributed to the body cavities. For example, the gray rami communicantes are the parietal branches of the sympathetic trunks (vs. The splanchnic nerves, which are visceral branches of the trunks). Synonym: rami parietales.
