Intra-articular ligament of head of rib
The intra-articular ligament of head of rib (interarticular in older texts) is situated in the interior of the articulation of head of rib. It consists of a short band of […]
Anterior superior alveolar arteries
The anterior superior alveolar arteries originate from the infraorbital artery; they supply the upper incisors and canines; they also supply the mucous membrane of the maxillary sinus.
Incisura apicis cordis
The anterior longitudinal sulcus and posterior longitudinal sulcus extend from the base of the ventricular portion to a notch the incisura apicis cordis (or notch of cardiac apex) on the […]
Left marginal artery
The left marginal artery (or obtuse marginal artery) is a branch of the circumflex artery originating at the posterior interventricular sulcus traveling along the left margin of heart towards the […]
General somatic efferent fibers
The *spinal* somatic efferent neurons (GSE ‘somatomotor or somatic motor fibers) arise from motor neuron cell bodies in the ventral horns of the gray matter within the spinal cord. They […]
General visceral afferent fibers
The general visceral afferent fibers (GVA) conduct sensory impulses (usually pain or reflex sensations) from the viscera glands and blood vessels to the central nervous system. They are considered to […]
General somatic afferent fibers
The general somatic afferent fibers (GSA or somatic sensory fibers) afferent fibers arise from cells in the spinal ganglia and are found in all the spinal nerves except occasionally the […]
Atrioventricular nodal branch
The atrioventricular nodal branch most frequently arises as a distal branch from the right coronary artery but occasionally the atrioventricular node receives blood from the circumflex branch of the left […]
Atrial branches of coronary arteries
The atrial branches of right coronary artery derive from the right coronary artery and provide part of the blood supply to the right atrium and left atrium.Although named for the […]
