- Deep transverse metatarsal ligamentLigamentum metatarseum transversum profundumA narrow band across the sole of the forefoot that ties every metatarsal head to the next.
- Deep venous palmar archArcus venosus palmaris profundusA paired venous arch deep in the palm, running with the deep palmar arterial arch across the bases of the metacarpals.
- Depressor anguli orisThe depressor anguli oris is a triangular muscle beside the chin that pulls the corner of the mouth down in a frown.
- Depressor labii inferiorisThe depressor labii inferioris is a small, four-sided facial muscle below the lower lip that pulls the lip down and turns it outwards.
- Depressor septi nasiThe depressor septi nasi is a small muscle under the upper lip that pulls the nasal septum and nostril margins down, narrowing the nostrils.
- Descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral arteryRamus descendens arteriae circumflexae lateralis femorisThe long downward branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery, running behind rectus femoris on vastus lateralis towards the knee.
- Descending branch of left colic arteryRamus descendens arteriae colicae sinistraeThe lower branch of the left colic artery, running down behind the peritoneum to the descending colon and the sigmoid arteries.
- Descending colonColon descendensThe segment of the colon running down the left flank, from the splenic flexure as far as the pelvic brim.
- Descending palatine arteryArteria palatina descendensA branch of the maxillary artery that drops through the palatine canal to supply the hard and soft palate.
- Descending part of iliofemoral ligamentPars descendens ligamenti iliofemoralisThe medial, nearly vertical limb of the Y-shaped iliofemoral ligament, running from the ilium to the lower intertrochanteric line.
- Descending part of trapezius musclePars descendens musculi trapeziiThe descending part of trapezius is the upper portion of the muscle, sloping from the skull and nuchal ligament to the outer clavicle.
- DiaphragmDiaphragmaThe diaphragm is the dome-shaped sheet of muscle and tendon separating the chest from the abdomen, and the chief muscle of breathing.
- Distal lateral striate branchesThe more lateral of the small striate arteries that rise from the middle cerebral artery into the deep grey matter of the hemisphere.
- Dorsal branch of ulnar nerveRamus dorsalis nervi ulnarisA cutaneous branch of the ulnar nerve that leaves it above the wrist to supply the skin over the medial dorsum of the hand.
- Dorsal calcaneocuboid ligamentLigamentum calcaneocuboideum dorsaleA thin, broad band across the top of the joint between the calcaneus and the cuboid on the outer side of the foot.
- Dorsal carpal anastomosisRete dorsale carpiThe network of small arteries on the back of the wrist, lying on the carpal bones beneath the extensor tendons.
- Dorsal carpal branch of ulnar arteryRamus carpeus dorsalis arteriae ulnarisA small branch of the ulnar artery that winds round the ulnar side of the wrist to join the network on its back.
- Dorsal carpometacarpal ligamentsLigamenta carpometacarpea dorsaliaStrong bands on the back of the hand that bind the distal carpal bones to the bases of the second to fifth metacarpals.
- Dorsal cuboideonavicular ligamentLigamentum cuboideonaviculare dorsaleA short oblique band on the top of the midfoot that ties the navicular bone to the cuboid bone beside it.
- Dorsal cuneocuboid ligamentLigamentum cuneocuboideum dorsaleA short band of fibres on the top of the midfoot joining the lateral cuneiform bone to the cuboid.
- Dorsal cuneonavicular ligamentsLigamenta cuneonavicularia dorsaliaShort fibrous slips on the top of the midfoot joining the navicular bone to each of the three cuneiform bones in front of it.
- Dorsal digital arteries of footArteriae digitales dorsales pedisFine arteries along the backs of the toes, formed where each dorsal metatarsal artery divides at a toe web.
- Dorsal digital arteries of handArteriae digitales dorsales manusSmall arteries on the back of the fingers, formed where each dorsal metacarpal artery splits at the finger cleft.
- Dorsal digital branches of deep fibular nerveRami digitales dorsales nervi fibularis profundiTwo small sensory nerves on the top of the foot that supply the skin of the web space between the big toe and the second toe.
