- Metacarpal bonesOssa metacarpiThe metacarpal bones are the five long bones of the palm, running from the wrist to the knuckles, one behind each finger and the thumb.
- Metatarsal bonesOssa metatarsiThe metatarsal bones are the five long bones of the forefoot, joining the tarsal bones of the midfoot to the phalanges of the toes.
- Metatarsal interosseous ligamentsLigamenta metatarsea interosseaStrong short ligaments deep between the bases of neighbouring metatarsal bones, forming the main bond between them.
- MidbrainMesencephalonThe short, uppermost part of the brainstem, between the diencephalon above and the pons below, carrying the cerebral aqueduct.
- Middle cardiac veinVena media cordis interventricularis inferiorA cardiac vein rising from the apex in the posterior interventricular groove to empty into the right end of the coronary sinus.
- Middle cells of ethmoid boneCellulae mediae ossis ethmoideiThe middle group of air cells in each ethmoidal labyrinth, bulging into the middle meatus as the ethmoidal bulla.
- Middle cerebral artery (M1-segment)Arteria cerebri media (Pars M1)The first, sphenoidal stretch of the middle cerebral artery, running laterally from the carotid split to the entrance of the lateral sulcus.
- Middle cerebral artery (M3-segment)Arteria cerebri media (Pars M3)The opercular segment of the middle cerebral artery, its branches looping around the opercula from the insula to the lateral surface.
- Middle colic arteryArteria colica mediaAn offshoot of the superior mesenteric artery, running in the transverse mesocolon and supplying most of the transverse colon.
- Middle colic nodesNodi colici mediiLymph nodes in the transverse mesocolon set along the middle colic artery, draining most of the transverse colon.
- Middle colic veinVena colica mediaA vein in the transverse mesocolon that drains the transverse colon and runs with the middle colic artery to the superior mesenteric vein.
- Middle collateral arteryArteria collateralis mediaThe posterior terminal branch of the deep artery of the arm, running down within triceps to the network behind the elbow.
- Middle frontal gyrusGyrus frontalis mediusThe broad middle band of the three horizontal gyri on the lateral surface of the frontal lobe, between the superior and inferior frontal sulci.
- Middle genicular arteryA small single branch of the popliteal artery that pierces the back of the knee capsule to supply the cruciate ligaments.
- Middle glenohumeral ligamentLigamentum glenohumerale mediumThe middle of the three glenohumeral ligaments, a band across the front of the shoulder capsule from glenoid rim to lesser tubercle.
- Middle lobar artery of right lungArteria lobaris media pulmonis dextriThe branch of the right pulmonary artery that supplies the middle lobe, arising in the fissures of the right lung.
- Middle lobar bronchusBronchus lobaris mediusThe forward-running branch of the right intermediate bronchus that supplies the middle lobe of the right lung.
- Middle lobe of right lungLobus medius pulmonis dextriThe smallest lobe of the right lung, a wedge between the horizontal and oblique fissures lying against the front chest wall and heart.
- Middle meningeal arteryArteria meningea mediaA maxillary artery branch that passes through the foramen spinosum into the skull, supplying the dura and the bones of the vault.
- Middle pharyngeal constrictorConstrictor medius pharyngisA fan-shaped muscle of the pharyngeal wall that spreads back from the hyoid bone to the midline seam behind the throat.
- Middle temporal gyrusGyrus temporalis mediusThe middle of the three long gyri on the lateral surface of the temporal lobe, between the superior and inferior temporal sulci.
- Middle trunk of brachial plexusTruncus medius plexus brachialisThe middle trunk of the brachial plexus, the direct continuation of the C7 ventral ramus between the scalene muscles.
- Motor nucleus of facial nerveNucleus nervi facialisThe cluster of motor neurons in the lower pons whose axons form the facial nerve's motor root and move the face.
- Motor root of trigeminal nerveRadix motoria nervi trigeminiThe small motor root of the trigeminal nerve, leaving the side of the pons and joining the mandibular nerve to supply the chewing muscles.
