- Posterior longitudinal ligamentLigamentum longitudinale posteriusA long band inside the vertebral canal running down the backs of the vertebral bodies and discs from the axis to the sacrum.
- Posterior meniscotibial ligament (Lateral meniscus)Ligamentum meniscotibiale posterius (Meniscus lateralis)The fibrous root that anchors the back end of the lateral meniscus to the posterior intercondylar area of the tibia.
- Posterior meniscotibial ligament (Medial meniscus)Ligamentum meniscotibiale posterius (Meniscus medialis)The fibrous root that anchors the back end of the medial meniscus to the posterior intercondylar area of the tibia.
- Posterior nucleus of vagus nerveNucleus posterior nervi vagiThe main parasympathetic nucleus of the vagus nerve, lying in the medulla beneath the fourth ventricle and serving the gut and lungs.
- Posterior parietal arteryArteria parietalis posteriorA cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery that runs up behind the postcentral sulcus to supply the posterior part of the parietal lobe.
- Posterior quadrangular lobuleLobulus quadrangularis posteriorA lobule on the upper surface of each cerebellar hemisphere, lying just behind the primary fissure at the front of the posterior lobe.
- Posterior root of posterior femoral cutaneous nerveRadix posterior nervi cutanei femoris posteriorisThe contribution to the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve that comes from the posterior divisions of the first and second sacral nerves.
- Posterior root of spinal nerveRadix posterior nervi spinalisThe sensory root of each spinal nerve, entering the back of the spinal cord and carrying a ganglion of sensory nerve cells.
- Posterior sacro-iliac ligamentLigamentum sacroiliacum posteriusA strong set of fibrous bands behind the sacro-iliac joint, binding the dorsal sacrum to the rear of the ilium.
- Posterior segment of eyeballSegmentum posterius bulbi oculiThe rear and larger portion of the eyeball, behind the lens, containing the vitreous body and lined by the retina, choroid and sclera.
- Posterior septal branches of sphenopalatine arteryRami septales posteriores arteriae sphenopalatinaeThe terminal branches of the sphenopalatine artery that spread over the nasal septum, reaching forward to the incisive canal.
- Posterior spinocerebellar tractTractus spinocerebellaris posteriorAn uncrossed ascending pathway at the back of the lateral funiculus that carries muscle and joint information from the trunk and lower limb to the cerebellum.
- Posterior sternoclavicular ligamentLigamentum sternoclaviculare posteriusA band covering the back of the sternoclavicular joint, binding the medial end of the clavicle to the back of the manubrium.
- Posterior superior alveolar arteryArteria alveolaris superior posteriorA maxillary artery branch that descends on the back of the maxilla to supply the upper back teeth, gums and maxillary sinus.
- Posterior talocalcaneal ligamentLigamentum talocalcaneum posteriusA short band at the back of the hindfoot that fans out from the talus's lateral tubercle to the upper and medial calcaneus.
- Posterior talofibular ligamentLigamentum talofibulare posteriusThe deepest and strongest of the lateral ankle ligaments, running back from the fossa of the lateral malleolus to the posterior talus.
- Posterior temporal branchRamus temporalis posterior arteriae cerebri mediaeA cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery that runs back over the posterior temporal lobe from the lateral sulcus.
- Posterior tibial arteryArteria tibialis posteriorThe artery of the back of the leg and the sole, arising from the popliteal artery and passing behind the medial malleolus into the foot.
- Posterior tibial veinsVenae tibiales posterioresPaired deep veins of the back of the leg that accompany the posterior tibial artery from the ankle up to the popliteal fossa.
- Posterior tibiofibular ligamentLigamentum tibiofibulare posteriusA band at the back of the ankle joining the lower ends of the tibia and fibula across the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis.
- Posterior tibiotalar ligamentPars tibiotalaris posteriorThe posterior deep part of the medial (deltoid) ligament of the ankle, running from the medial malleolus back and down to the talus.
- Posterior transverse collateral sulcusA short, variable groove on the inferior surface of the occipital lobe, crossing the territory near the back end of the collateral sulcus.
- Posterolateral tractFasciculus posterolateralisA small strand of fine fibres capping the posterior horn, where incoming pain and temperature fibres travel briefly before ending.
- Postvesical nodesNodi postvesicalesSmall lymph nodes lying behind the urinary bladder in the fat around its base, part of the paravesical group.
