217–240 of 1303
- CulmenThe highest lobule of the vermis in the anterior lobe of the cerebellum, lying just in front of the primary fissure.
- Cuneate fasciculusFasciculus cuneatusThe outer part of the spinal posterior column, carrying fine touch, vibration and position sense from the arm, neck and upper trunk.
- Cuneocuboid interosseous ligamentLigamentum cuneocuboideum interosseumA strong, short ligament deep in the midfoot binding the lateral cuneiform bone to the cuboid across their facing surfaces.
- Cuneometatarsal interosseous ligamentsLigamenta cuneometatarsea interosseaStrong ligaments deep in the tarsometatarsal joints that bind the cuneiform bones to the bases of the metatarsals, the strongest being the Lisfranc ligament.
- CuneusA wedge-shaped area on the medial surface of the occipital lobe, between the parieto-occipital and calcarine sulci.
- Cusps of the aortic valveValvulae semilunares valvae aortaeThe three half-moon cusps of the aortic valve, guarding the outlet from the left ventricle into the aorta and named for the coronary arteries.
- Cusps of the pulmonary valveValvulae semilunares valvae trunci pulmonalisThe three semilunar cusps of the pulmonary valve, closing the outlet of the right ventricle into the pulmonary trunk.
- Cystic nodeNodus cysticusA lymph node at the neck of the gallbladder, beside the cystic duct and cystic artery.
- DecliveA lobule of the cerebellar vermis on the upper surface, lying just behind the primary fissure, below the summit of the culmen.
- Deep brachial arteryArteria profunda brachiiThe largest branch of the brachial artery, winding with the radial nerve behind the humerus towards the outer side of the elbow.
- Deep branch of radial nerveRamus profundus nervi radialisThe motor branch of the radial nerve at the elbow, which winds through supinator to supply the extensor muscles of the forearm.
- Deep branch of ulnar nerveRamus profundus nervi ulnarisThe motor terminal branch of the ulnar nerve in the hand, curving across the deep palm to supply most of the small hand muscles.
- Deep cervical arteryArteria cervicalis profundaA branch of the costocervical trunk that climbs the back of the neck among the deep muscles as high as the axis.
- Deep femoral arteryArteria profunda femorisThe largest branch of the femoral artery, running deep in the thigh close to the femur and providing most of the thigh's blood.
- Deep femoral veinVena profunda femorisA large deep vein of the thigh that follows the deep femoral artery and empties into the femoral vein below the groin.
- Deep fibular nerveNervus fibularis profundusA terminal branch of the common fibular nerve that supplies the muscles of the anterior leg and the first web space of the foot.
- Deep head of flexor pollicis brevisCaput profundum flexoris brevis pollicisFlexor pollicis brevis has a small, inner deep head that lies hidden in the thenar eminence at the base of the thumb.
- Deep head of pronator teresCaput profundum pronatoris teretisThe deep head of pronator teres is the small ulnar portion of the muscle, arising from the coronoid process below the elbow.
- Deep palmar archArcus palmaris profundusAn arterial arch lying deep in the palm on the metacarpal bases, formed mainly by the radial artery with a branch of the ulnar.
- Deep part of masseterPars profunda masseterisThe deep part of the masseter is the smaller inner layer of this chewing muscle, from zygomatic arch to upper mandibular ramus.
- Deep part of tibial collateral ligamentPars profunda ligamenti collateralis tibialisThe short inner layer of the medial collateral ligament of the knee, firmly joined to the capsule and medial meniscus.
- Deep plantar arteryArteria plantaris profundaA short branch of the dorsalis pedis that plunges into the sole through the first intermetatarsal space to complete the plantar arch.
- Deep popliteal nodesNodi poplitei profundiA small group of deep lymph nodes in the fat of the popliteal fossa, around the popliteal artery and vein behind the knee.
- Deep transverse metacarpal ligamentLigamentum metacarpeum transversum profundumA narrow band across the palm that ties together the heads of the second to fifth metacarpals at the knuckles.
