Nerves · Upper limbAnterior division of superior trunk of brachial plexusDivisio anterior trunci superioris plexus brachialisThe front branch of the upper trunk of the brachial plexus, which merges behind the clavicle with the middle trunk's front branch to form the lateral cord.
Arteries · HeadAnterior ethmoidal arteryArteria ethmoidea anteriorAn ophthalmic artery branch that leaves the orbit through its medial wall to supply the ethmoid cells, the anterior cranial fossa and the nose.
Nerves · Whole bodyAnterior fasciculus propriusFasciculus proprius anteriorA thin layer of short fibres in the anterior white column of the spinal cord, lining the grey matter and linking nearby segments.
Brain and spinal cord · Whole bodyAnterior horn of spinal cordCornu anterius medullae spinalisThe forward-pointing projection of grey matter on each side of the spinal cord, home to the motor neurons that drive skeletal muscle.
Arteries · HeadAnterior inferior cerebellar arteryArteria cerebelli inferior anteriorA basilar artery branch arising near the lower pons that supplies the front of the cerebellar undersurface and the lateral pons.
Lymphatics · NeckAnterior inferior jugular nodesNodi jugulares inferiores anterioresDeep lymph nodes of the lower neck lying in front of the internal jugular vein, below the point where omohyoid crosses it.
Arteries · TrunkAnterior inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteryArteria pancreaticoduodenalis inferior anteriorA small artery from the superior mesenteric system that runs over the front of the pancreatic head to join its superior partner.
Veins · HeadAnterior intercavernous sinusSinus intercavernosus anteriorA small dural venous sinus crossing the midline in front of the pituitary gland, joining the two cavernous sinuses.
Nerves · Upper limbAnterior interosseous nerve of forearmNervus interosseus anterior antebrachiiA deep, mainly motor offshoot of the median nerve, running on the interosseous membrane to the deep flexors and pronator quadratus.
Organs · TrunkAnterior interventricular arteryRamus interventricularis anterior arteriae coronariae sinistraeThe main forward branch of the left coronary artery, running down the groove between the two ventricles on the front of the heart.
Veins · HeadAnterior jugular veinVena iugularis anteriorA superficial vein running down the front of the neck beside the midline, from near the hyoid bone to the root of the neck.
Joints and ligaments · Lower limbAnterior ligament of fibular headLigamentum anterius capitis fibulaeFlat bands on the front of the upper tibiofibular joint, rising from the fibular head to the lateral tibial condyle.
Joints and ligaments · NeckAnterior longitudinal ligamentLigamentum longitudinale anteriusA long, broad band running down the front of the vertebral column, over every vertebral body and intervertebral disc.
Joints and ligaments · Lower limbAnterior meniscotibial ligament (Lateral meniscus)Ligamentum meniscotibiale anterius (Meniscus lateralis)The fibrous root that anchors the front end of the lateral meniscus to the tibia, in the anterior intercondylar area of the knee.
Joints and ligaments · Lower limbAnterior meniscotibial ligament (Medial meniscus)Ligamentum meniscotibiale anterius (Meniscus medialis)The fibrous root that anchors the front end of the medial meniscus to the anterior intercondylar area of the tibia.
Brain and spinal cord · HeadAnterior quadrangular lobuleLobulus quadrangularis anteriorThe part of each cerebellar hemisphere in the anterior lobe that lies beside the culmen, in front of the primary fissure.
Nerves · Lower limbAnterior root of posterior femoral cutaneous nerveRadix anterior nervi cutanei femoris posteriorisThe contribution to the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve that comes from the anterior divisions of the second and third sacral nerves.
Nerves · TrunkAnterior root of spinal nerveRadix anterior nervi spinalisThe motor root of each spinal nerve, leaving the front of the spinal cord to join the posterior root near the intervertebral foramen.
Joints and ligaments · AbdomenAnterior sacro-iliac ligamentLigamentum sacroiliacum anteriusA thin sheet of fibrous bands across the front of the sacro-iliac joint, joining the sacrum to the ilium inside the pelvis.
Organs · HeadAnterior segment of eyeballSegmentum anterius bulbi oculiThe front portion of the eyeball, comprising cornea, iris, ciliary body, lens and the two chambers of aqueous humour.
Arteries · HeadAnterior septal branches of anterior ethmoidal arteryRami septales anteriores arteriae ethmoidalis anteriorisBranches of the anterior ethmoidal artery that run down the front and upper nasal septum, contributing to the vascular area where nosebleeds arise.
Arteries · HeadAnterior spinal arteryArteria spinalis anteriorA single midline artery that runs down the front of the spinal cord, formed from two small branches of the vertebral arteries.
Brain and spinal cord · Whole bodyAnterior spinocerebellar tractTractus spinocerebellaris anteriorAn ascending pathway at the edge of the lateral funiculus that carries information about lower-limb movement to the cerebellum after crossing twice.
Brain and spinal cord · Whole bodyAnterior spinothalamic tractTractus spinothalamicus anteriorAn ascending pathway in the anterior funiculus of the spinal cord that carries crude touch and pressure from the opposite side to the thalamus.
