- Mandibular nodeNodus mandibularisA small facial lymph node on the outer surface of the mandible, beside the facial artery and vein where they cross the jaw.
- Manubrium of sternumManubrium sterniThe wide top section of the breastbone, where the clavicles and the first pair of ribs meet the front of the chest.
- Marginal arteryArteria marginalis coliA continuous arterial channel along the inner border of the colon, linking the colic branches of both mesenteric arteries.
- Mastoid nodesNodi mastoideiA small pair of lymph nodes behind the ear, lying on the mastoid process at the upper attachment of sternocleidomastoid.
- MaxillaOne of the paired bones of the upper jaw, holding the upper teeth and forming the centre of the face, the orbit floor and much of the palate.
- Maxillary arteryArteria maxillarisThe larger terminal branch of the external carotid artery, running deep to the mandible to supply the jaws, teeth, nose and palate.
- Maxillary nerveNervus maxillarisThe middle division of the trigeminal nerve, a sensory nerve for the upper jaw, upper teeth, nose, palate and skin of the mid-face.
- Maxillary veinsVenae maxillaresA short venous trunk behind the neck of the mandible that carries blood from the pterygoid plexus to the retromandibular vein.
- Medial antebrachial cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus medialis antebrachiiA sensory nerve from the plexus's medial cord that supplies skin over the front and inner side of the forearm.
- Medial brachial cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus medialis brachiiA small sensory branch of the medial cord of the brachial plexus that supplies skin on the inner side of the arm.
- Medial circumflex femoral arteryArteria circumflexa medialis femorisA branch of the deep femoral artery that winds behind the femoral neck and gives the main blood supply of the femoral head.
- Medial circumflex femoral veinsVenae circumflexae medialesPaired deep veins of the upper thigh that travel with the medial circumflex femoral artery around the back of the femur.
- Medial common iliac nodesNodi iliaci communes medialesCommon iliac lymph nodes lying on the inner side of the common iliac artery, towards the midline below the aortic bifurcation.
- Medial crural cutaneous branches of saphenous nerveRami cutanei cruris mediales nervi sapheniBranches of the saphenous nerve that supply the skin of the medial side of the leg, from the knee down to the ankle.
- Medial dorsal cutaneous nerve of footNervus cutaneus medialis dorsalis pedisThe medial terminal branch of the superficial fibular nerve, supplying skin on the inner dorsum, the great toe and the second web space.
- Medial external iliac nodesNodi iliaci externi medialesExternal iliac lymph nodes lying below and inside the external iliac vein on the side wall of the pelvis.
- Medial geniculate bodyCorpus geniculatum medialeA small swelling on the underside of the back of the thalamus that relays hearing from the inferior colliculus to the auditory cortex.
- Medial head of flexor hallucis brevisCaput mediale flexoris brevis hallucisThis inner belly is one half of the short flexor of the great toe, lying under the first metatarsal.
- Medial head of gastrocnemiusCaput mediale musculi gastrocnemiiThe inner of the two calf heads, arising from the femur above the medial condyle and joining the Achilles tendon at the heel.
- Medial head of triceps brachiiCaput mediale musculi tricipitis caput brachiiThe medial head of triceps brachii is the deep head lying on the back of the humerus below the radial groove.
- Medial meniscusMeniscus medialisA crescent of fibrocartilage on the inner side of the knee, between the medial condyles of the femur and tibia.
- Medial occipital arteryArteria occipitalis medialisOne of the two end branches of the posterior cerebral artery, supplying the inner face of the occipital lobe and its visual cortex.
- Medial pectoral nerveNervus pectoralis medialisA branch of the medial cord of the brachial plexus that pierces pectoralis minor to supply it and the lower part of pectoralis major.
- Medial plantar arteryArteria plantaris medialisThe smaller terminal branch of the posterior tibial artery, running forwards along the inner border of the sole towards the great toe.
