Muscles · Whole bodyInferior pharyngeal constrictorConstrictor inferior pharyngisThe thickest and lowest of the three constrictors, curving back from the thyroid and cricoid cartilages to the midline of the pharynx.
Arteries · TrunkInferior phrenic arteryArteria phrenica inferiorA paired artery leaving the aorta or coeliac trunk just below the diaphragm to supply its under surface and the suprarenal glands.
Joints and ligaments · AbdomenInferior pubic ligamentLigamentum pubicum inferiusA thick arched band beneath the pubic symphysis that joins the two pubic bones and rounds off the top of the pubic arch.
Muscles · HeadInferior rectus muscleMusculus rectus inferiorThe inferior rectus is the straight muscle under the eyeball that runs from the back of the orbit and turns the gaze downwards.
Veins · HeadInferior sagittal sinusSinus sagittalis inferiorA small midline dural venous sinus running along the free lower edge of the falx cerebri, above the corpus callosum.
Brain and spinal cord · HeadInferior salivatory nucleusNucleus salivatorius inferiorA small group of parasympathetic nerve cells in the upper medulla that drive secretion from the parotid gland through the glossopharyngeal nerve.
Brain and spinal cord · HeadInferior semilunar lobuleLobulus semilunaris inferiorA large crescent-shaped lobule of each cerebellar hemisphere, lying just below the horizontal fissure on the back of the inferior surface.
Nerves · Upper limbInferior subscapular nerveNervus subscapularis inferiorA branch of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus that supplies the lower part of subscapularis and the teres major muscle.
Lymphatics · Whole bodyInferior superficial inguinal nodesNodi inguinales superficiales inferioresSuperficial lymph nodes of the groin grouped vertically around the end of the great saphenous vein, just below the inguinal ligament.
Arteries · TrunkInferior suprarenal arteryArteria suprarenalis inferiorA paired small artery, usually from the renal artery, that climbs to the lower part of the suprarenal (adrenal) gland on each side.
Joints and ligaments · HeadInferior tarsusTarsus inferiorThe thin plate of dense connective tissue that stiffens the lower eyelid, lying just above its free margin.
Brain and spinal cord · HeadInferior temporal gyrusGyrus temporalis inferiorThe lowest of the three long gyri on the side of the temporal lobe, curving onto its underside and serving visual object recognition.
Brain and spinal cord · HeadInferior temporal sulcusSulcus temporalis inferiorA long groove low on the side of the temporal lobe, separating the middle temporal gyrus above from the inferior temporal gyrus below.
Arteries · NeckInferior thyroid arteryArteria thyreoidea inferior arteria thyroidea inferiorA branch of the thyrocervical trunk that loops medially behind the carotid sheath to supply the lower thyroid and the parathyroid glands.
Lymphatics · Whole bodyInferior tracheobronchial nodesNodi tracheobronchiales inferioresLymph nodes packed into the angle beneath the tracheal bifurcation, between the right and left main bronchi; also called subcarinal nodes.
Joints and ligaments · Upper limbInferior transverse scapular ligamentLigamentum transversum scapulae inferiusA thin band on the back of the scapula bridging the spinoglenoid notch, between the spine of the scapula and the glenoid margin.
Nerves · Upper limbInferior trunk of brachial plexusTruncus inferior plexus brachialisThe lowest of the three trunks of the brachial plexus, formed by the C8 and T1 roots just above the first rib.
Arteries · Upper limbInferior ulnar collateral arteryArteria collateralis ulnaris inferiorA branch of the brachial artery a few centimetres above the elbow, feeding the arterial network around the medial side of the joint.
Organs · TrunkInferior vein of left ventricleVena inferior ventriculi sinistriA vein on the diaphragmatic surface of the left ventricle that drains into the coronary sinus at the back of the heart.
Veins · TrunkInferior vena cava (abdominal part)Vena cava inferior (pars abdominis)The long abdominal stretch of the body's largest vein, rising from L5 on the right of the spine to the caval opening of the diaphragm.
Veins · TrunkInferior vena cava (thoracic part)Vena cava inferior (part thoracica)The very short final segment of the inferior vena cava, running from the diaphragm through the pericardium into the right atrium.
Lymphatics · HeadInfra-auricular nodesNodi infraauricularesA small cluster of parotid lymph nodes lying just below the ear lobe, at the lower pole of the parotid gland near the jaw angle.
Arteries · HeadInfra-orbital arteryArteria infraorbitalisA branch of the maxillary artery that runs in the floor of the orbit and emerges on the face below the eye.
Lymphatics · Whole bodyInfraclavicular nodesNodi infraclaviculares nodi deltopectoralesOne or two small lymph nodes beside the cephalic vein in the groove between deltoid and pectoralis major, just below the clavicle.
