- Intrarenal veins of left kidneyVenae intrarenales renis sinistriThe network of veins inside the left kidney that gathers blood from cortex and medulla and leads it to the left renal vein.
- Intrarenal veins of right kidneyVenae intrarenales renis dextriThe veins within the right kidney, running from the cortex and medulla towards the hilum, where they form the short right renal vein.
- IrisThe coloured, ring-shaped diaphragm of the eye, lying between cornea and lens, whose central opening, the pupil, controls how much light enters.
- Ischiofemoral ligamentLigamentum ischiofemoraleA spiral band on the back of the hip joint capsule, running from the ischium to the femoral neck near the greater trochanter.
- JejunumThe middle part of the small intestine, following the duodenum and leading into the ileum, coiled mainly in the upper left abdomen.
- Jugulodigastric nodeNodus jugulodigastricusA large deep cervical lymph node where the posterior belly of digastric crosses the internal jugular vein, below the angle of the jaw.
- Juxta-intestinal mesenteric nodesNodi juxtaintestinalesThe outermost superior mesenteric lymph nodes, lying in the mesentery right next to the wall of the jejunum and ileum.
- Juxta-oesophageal nodesNodi juxtaoesophageiPosterior mediastinal lymph nodes lying alongside the thoracic oesophagus, which also take lymph from the lower parts of the lungs.
- Lacrimal arteryArteria lacrimalisAn offshoot of the ophthalmic artery that runs along the lateral wall of the orbit to feed the lacrimal gland and nearby tissues.
- Lacrimal boneOs lacrimaleThe smallest and most fragile bone of the face, set in the front of the inner orbital wall where it cradles the tear sac.
- Lacrimal canaliculusCanaliculus lacrimalisA fine tear-draining channel in the medial part of each eyelid, running from the lacrimal punctum to the lacrimal sac.
- Lacrimal glandGlandula lacrimalisThe almond-shaped tear gland lying in the upper outer corner of each orbit, which makes the watery layer of the tear film.
- Lacrimal sacSaccus lacrimalisThe closed upper end of the nasolacrimal passage, lying in the lacrimal fossa at the medial wall of the orbit and receiving the canaliculi.
- LaryngopharynxPars laryngea pharyngisThe lowest part of the pharynx, behind the larynx, where the throat leads down into the oesophagus.
- Lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus lateralis antebrachiiThe sensory end of the musculocutaneous nerve, supplying skin along the lateral, or thumb, side of the forearm.
- Lateral aortic nodesNodi aortici latéralesLymph nodes along the left flank of the abdominal aorta, forming the left lumbar chain on the posterior abdominal wall.
- Lateral axillary nodesNodi axillares latérales nodi humeralesThe humeral group of axillary lymph nodes, lying on the lateral wall of the armpit against the axillary vein.
- Lateral caval nodesNodi cavales latéralesLumbar lymph nodes running along the right border of the inferior vena cava on the posterior abdominal wall.
- Lateral circumflex femoral arteryArteria circumflexa lateralis femorisThe largest branch of the deep femoral artery, crossing laterally in front of the hip to supply the front and outer thigh.
- Lateral circumflex femoral veinsVenae circumflexae femoris lateralesPaired veins in the upper front of the thigh that accompany the lateral circumflex femoral artery and drain the muscles around the hip.
- Lateral common iliac nodesNodi iliaci communes latéralesThe chain of common iliac lymph nodes running along the outer side of the common iliac artery, from the aortic bifurcation to the pelvic brim.
- Lateral corticospinal tractTractus corticospinalis lateralisThe main crossed motor pathway of the spinal cord, descending in the lateral funiculus to control skilled movement of the limbs.
- Lateral crico-arytenoid muscleMusculus cricoarytendoideus lateralisThe lateral crico-arytenoid is a small laryngeal muscle that runs from the side of the cricoid to the arytenoid and closes the glottis.
- Lateral fasciculus propriusFasciculus proprius lateralisA narrow band of short intersegmental fibres lining the grey matter in the lateral white column of the spinal cord.
