- Palpebral part of orbicularis oculiPars palpebralis musculi orbicularis oculiThe palpebral part of orbicularis oculi is the thin, pale sheet of muscle within both eyelids that closes them gently in blinking and sleep.
- PancreasA long, soft gland lying across the back of the upper abdomen, making digestive juice and blood-sugar hormones.
- Pancreatic ductDuctus pancreaticusThe main duct of the pancreas, running the whole length of the gland to empty into the descending duodenum.
- Papillary musclesMusculi papillaresCone-shaped muscles projecting from the ventricular walls whose tendinous cords hold the leaflets of the tricuspid and mitral valves.
- Paracentral sulcusSulcus paracentralisA short groove on the medial surface of the cerebral hemisphere that marks the front edge of the paracentral lobule.
- Paracolic superior mesenteric nodesNodi mesenterici superiores paracoliciSmall superior mesenteric lymph nodes on the inner border of the right and transverse colon, along the marginal artery.
- Pararectal nodesNodi pararectalesLymph nodes lying on the muscular wall of the rectum, within the fatty mesorectum that surrounds it in the back of the pelvis.
- Parasternal nodesNodi parasternalesA chain of lymph nodes inside the front of the chest wall, beside the sternum along the internal thoracic artery and vein.
- Paratracheal cervical nodesNodi paratrachéales colliChains of lymph nodes on each side of the cervical trachea, in the groove between trachea and oesophagus.
- Paratracheal thoracic nodesNodi paratracheales thoracisLymph nodes running along both sides of the trachea in the superior mediastinum, between the root of the neck and the bifurcation.
- Parietal boneOs parietaleOne of a pair of curved, four-sided bones that make up most of the roof and side walls of the skull.
- Parietal branches of middle cerebral arteryRami parietales arteriae cerebri mediaeCortical branches of the middle cerebral artery that emerge from the lateral sulcus to supply the lateral surface of the parietal lobe.
- Parieto-occipital arteryArteria paritooccipitaleA cortical branch of the medial occipital artery that runs in the parieto-occipital sulcus on the medial surface of the hemisphere.
- Parieto-occipital sulcusSulcus parietooccipitalisA deep cleft, mostly on the inner face of the hemisphere, that separates the parietal lobe from the occipital lobe.
- Parotid ductDuctus parotideusThe duct of the parotid gland, crossing the cheek over the masseter to open inside the mouth opposite the upper second molar.
- Parotid glandGlandula parotideaThe largest salivary gland, lying in front of and below each ear and wrapped around the back of the lower jaw.
- PatellaThe patella, or kneecap, is a flat triangular bone set in the quadriceps tendon at the front of the knee joint.
- Patellar anastomosisRete patellareA network of small linked arteries around the patella and the adjoining ends of the thigh and leg bones, fed by the genicular arteries.
- Pectineus muscleMusculus pectineusA flat, four-sided muscle at the top of the inner thigh, running from the pecten pubis to just below the lesser trochanter.
- Pectoral branches of thoraco-acromial arteryRami pectorales arteriae thoracoacromialisThe branches of the thoraco-acromial artery that run down between the two pectoral muscles to supply them.
- Pectoralis minor muscleMusculus pectoralis minorPectoralis minor is a thin, triangular chest muscle lying beneath pectoralis major, running from the upper ribs to the coracoid process.
- Peduncle of flocculusPedunculus flocculiThe thin stalk of white matter joining the flocculus on each side of the cerebellum to the nodule of the vermis.
- Perforating branches of plantar metatarsal arteriesRami perforantes arteriarum metatarsearum plantariumShort branches that rise from the plantar metatarsal arteries near the toes, passing up between the metatarsals to join the dorsal metatarsal arteries.
- Perforating femoral arteriesArteriae perforantes femorisA series of branches of the deep femoral artery that pierce the adductor muscles to reach and supply the back of the thigh.
