- Angular veinVena angularisA short vein at the inner corner of the eye that forms the uppermost part of the facial vein beside the nose.
- Annular ligament of radiusLigamentum anulare radiiA strong ring of ligament around the head of the radius, holding it against the ulna's radial notch at the elbow.
- Anterior axillary nodesNodi axillares anteriores nodi pectoralesThe pectoral group of axillary lymph nodes, lying along the lower border of pectoralis minor beside the lateral thoracic artery.
- Anterior belly of digastric muscleVenter anterior musculi digastriciThe anterior belly of digastric is the short front half of a two-bellied muscle, running from the inside of the chin to the hyoid.
- Anterior branch of medial antebrachial cutaneous nerveRamus anterior nervi cutanei medialis antebrachiiThe larger of the two terminal branches of the medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm, supplying skin on the front of the inner forearm.
- Anterior branch of obturator nerveRamus anterior nervi obturatoriiThe front division of the obturator nerve, running down the medial thigh between the adductors to supply them and the overlying skin.
- Anterior branch of renal arteryRamus anterior arteriae renalisThe larger front division of the renal artery, lying in front of the renal pelvis and giving most of the kidney's segmental arteries.
- Anterior cells of ethmoid boneCellulae anteriores ossis ethmoideiThe front group of air cells in each ethmoidal labyrinth, lying between the nose and the orbit and draining into the middle meatus.
- Anterior cerebral arteryArteria cerebri anteriorThe smaller terminal branch of the internal carotid artery, curving over the corpus callosum to supply the medial surface of the frontal and parietal lobes.
- Anterior chamber of eyeballCamera anterior bulbi oculiThe fluid-filled space at the front of the eye, bounded by the back of the cornea in front and the iris and lens behind.
- Anterior circumflex humeral arteryArteria circumflexa anterior humeriA small branch of the axillary artery that winds round the front of the surgical neck of the humerus to the shoulder.
- Anterior circumflex humeral veinVena circumflexa anterior humeriA small vein that curves around the front of the surgical neck of the humerus and empties into the axillary vein.
- Anterior cochlear nucleusNucleus cochlearis anteriorThe ventral division of the cochlear nuclei at the pontomedullary junction, the first relay of hearing in the brainstem.
- Anterior commissureCommissura anteriorA compact bundle of fibres crossing the midline in front of the fornix, linking the two temporal lobes and olfactory regions.
- Anterior communicating arteryArteria communicans anteriorA short midline vessel linking the two anterior cerebral arteries at the front of the cerebral arterial circle.
- Anterior corticospinal tractTractus corticospinalis anteriorA small descending motor bundle beside the anterior median fissure of the spinal cord, carrying uncrossed cortical fibres for the trunk muscles.
- Anterior cruciate ligamentLigamentum cruciatum anteriusA strong intra-articular knee ligament running from the front of the tibial plateau up and back to the lateral femoral condyle.
- Anterior cutaneous branches of femoral nerveRami cutanei anteriores nervi femoralisSensory branches of the femoral nerve that supply the skin over the front and medial side of the thigh, down to the knee.
- Anterior deep temporal arteryArteria temporalis profunda anteriorA branch of the maxillary artery that climbs between the skull and the front part of temporalis, supplying that muscle from its deep surface.
- Anterior division of inferior trunk of brachial plexusDivisio anterior trunci inferioris plexus brachialisThe front branch of the lowest trunk of the brachial plexus, which passes behind the clavicle and continues as the medial cord.
- Anterior division of internal iliac arteryDivisio anterior arteriae iliacae internaeThe larger of the two divisions of the internal iliac artery, supplying most of the pelvic organs, the perineum, the buttock and the medial thigh.
- Anterior division of mandibular nerveDivisio anterior nervi mandibularisThe smaller front trunk of the mandibular nerve in the infratemporal fossa, mostly motor to the chewing muscles with one sensory branch to the cheek.
- Anterior division of middle trunk of brachial plexusDivisio anterior trunci medii plexus brachialisThe front branch of the middle trunk of the brachial plexus, which unites behind the clavicle with the superior trunk's front branch to make the lateral cord.
- Anterior division of retromandibular veinDivisio anterior venae mandibularisThe forward branch of the retromandibular vein, which leaves the parotid gland to join the facial vein below the jaw.
