- Pre-aortic nodesNodi preaorticiLymph nodes lying on the front of the abdominal aorta around the origins of its three unpaired gut arteries.
- Pre-auricular nodesNodi preauricularesLymph nodes in front of the ear, just ahead of the tragus, lying on the parotid gland beside the superficial temporal vessels.
- Precaecal nodesNodi precaecalesA few small lymph nodes in front of the caecum, set along its anterior artery in the vascular fold of the caecum.
- Precaval nodesNodi precavalesLumbar lymph nodes lying on the anterior surface of the inferior vena cava, behind the peritoneum of the posterior abdominal wall.
- Precentral gyrusGyrus precentralisThe convolution at the back of the frontal lobe, in front of the central sulcus, that holds the primary motor cortex.
- PrecuneusThe square-shaped area of parietal cortex on the inner surface of each hemisphere, just in front of the occipital cuneus.
- Prefrontal arteryArteria prefrontalisA cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery that climbs from the lateral sulcus onto the front of the frontal lobe.
- Prepericardial nodesNodi prepericadiaciA few small lymph nodes in the anterior mediastinum, between the back of the sternum and the front of the pericardium.
- Pretracheal nodesNodi pretrachealesLymph nodes in front of the cervical trachea, below the isthmus of the thyroid gland.
- Prevertebral nodesNodi prevertebralesPosterior mediastinal lymph nodes lying on the front of the thoracic vertebral column, behind the oesophagus.
- Prevesical nodesNodi prevesicalesSmall lymph nodes in the retropubic space, between the front of the urinary bladder and the back of the pubic symphysis.
- Procerus muscleMusculus procerusThe procerus is a small, pyramid-shaped muscle over the bridge of the nose that drags the skin between the brows down.
- Pronator quadratusPronator quadratus is a flat, square muscle across the lower front of the forearm that turns the palm downward.
- Proper hepatic arteryArteria hepatica propriaThe continuation of the common hepatic artery beyond the gastroduodenal branch, climbing in the lesser omentum to divide at the porta hepatis.
- Proper palmar digital arteriesArteriae digitales palmares propriaeSmall paired arteries running along each side of the fingers, carrying blood from the palm to the finger pads and nail beds.
- Proper palmar digital branches of median nerveRami digitales palmares proprii nervi medianiThe digital nerves of the median nerve that run along the sides of the thumb, index, middle and radial half of the ring finger.
- Proper palmar digital branches of ulnar nerveRami digitales palmares proprii nervi ulnarisThe digital nerves from the ulnar nerve's superficial branch that supply the little finger and the ulnar side of the ring finger.
- Proper plantar digital arteriesArteriae digitales plantares propriaeThe end arteries of the toes, running along the plantar sides of each toe from the divisions of the common plantar digital arteries.
- Proper plantar digital branches of lateral plantar nerveRami digitales plantares proprii nervi plantaris lateralisThe terminal toe nerves of the lateral plantar nerve, serving the plantar skin of the little toe's outer edge and the fourth web space.
- Proper plantar digital branches of medial plantar nerveRami digitales plantares proprii nervi plantaris medialisThe terminal toe nerves of the medial plantar nerve, supplying the plantar skin of the medial three and a half toes and their nail beds.
- Proximal lateral striate branchesSmall deep branches from the first part of the middle cerebral artery that supply the lentiform nucleus and internal capsule.
- Psoas majorA long, thick muscle beside the lumbar spine that runs down over the pelvic brim to the lesser trochanter, joining iliacus.
- Pterygospinous ligamentLigamentum pterygospinaleA small band in the deep face tying the sphenoid spine to the lateral pterygoid plate.
- Pubic symphysisSymphysis pubicaThe midline cartilaginous joint at the front of the pelvis, uniting the bodies of the right and left pubic bones.
