- Anterior sternoclavicular ligamentLigamentum sternoclaviculare anteriusA broad band over the front of the sternoclavicular joint, joining the medial end of the clavicle to the manubrium of the sternum.
- Anterior talocalcaneal ligamentLigamentum talocalcaneum anteriusA short band in the foot that ties the talar neck to the calcaneus across the sinus tarsi.
- Anterior talofibular ligamentLigamentum talofibulare anteriusA flat band on the outer side of the ankle joining the front of the lateral malleolus to the neck of the talus.
- Anterior temporal branchRamus temporalis anteriorA cortical artery to the front part of the temporal lobe, running down across its lateral surface from the lateral sulcus.
- Anterior tibial arteryArteria tibialis anteriorThe artery of the front of the leg, a terminal branch of the popliteal artery that runs down to the ankle and into the foot.
- Anterior tibial veinsVenae tibiales anterioresPaired deep veins of the front of the leg that run with the anterior tibial artery up to the popliteal fossa.
- Anterior tibiofibular ligamentLigamentum tibiofibulare anteriusA flat oblique band on the front of the lower tibiofibular joint, binding the lower ends of the tibia and fibula together.
- Aortic archArcus aortaeThe curved middle part of the aorta in the superior mediastinum, arching back over the left lung root and giving the three great arteries.
- Apical axillary nodesNodi axillares apicalesThe highest group of axillary lymph nodes, at the apex of the armpit behind and above pectoralis minor, just below the clavicle.
- Appendicular arteryArteria appendicularisA small end artery, usually from the ileocolic artery, that runs in the mesoappendix to supply the vermiform appendix.
- Appendicular nodesNodi appendicularesSmall, inconstant lymph nodes in the mesoappendix, spaced along the appendicular artery near the caecum.
- Aqueduct of midbrainAquaeductus mesencephaliThe narrow channel through the midbrain that carries cerebrospinal fluid from the third ventricle down to the fourth ventricle.
- Arcuate arteryArteria arcuataAn artery that arches laterally across the bases of the metatarsal bones on the back of the foot, arising from the dorsalis pedis.
- Arcuate popliteal ligamentLigamentum popliteum arcuatumA Y-shaped band at the back and outer side of the knee, arching from the fibular head over the popliteus tendon.
- Artery of central sulcusArteria sulci centralisA cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery that climbs along the central sulcus on the lateral surface of the cerebral hemisphere.
- Artery of precentral sulcusArteria sulci precentralisA cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery that runs up the precentral sulcus on the lateral surface of the frontal lobe.
- Artery of pterygoid canalArteria canalis pterygoideiA slender branch of the maxillary artery that runs backwards through the pterygoid canal at the base of the sphenoid bone.
- Articular capsule of acromioclavicular jointCapsula articularis articulationis acromioclavicularisThe thin fibrous capsule surrounding the small plane joint between the lateral end of the clavicle and the acromion of the scapula.
- Articular capsule of elbow jointCapsula articularis articulation cubitiThe single fibrous capsule that encloses the elbow joint and the proximal radioulnar joint, joining the lower humerus to the ulna and radius.
- Articular capsule of glenohumeral jointCapsula articularis articulatio glenohumeralisThe loose fibrous sleeve of the shoulder joint, running from the rim of the glenoid cavity to the anatomical neck of the humerus.
- Articular capsule of hip jointCapsula articularis coxaeThe strong, thick fibrous sleeve of the hip joint, running from the rim of the acetabulum to the neck of the femur.
- Articular capsule of interphalangeal joint of great toeCapsula articularis articulationis interphalangeae hallucisThe fibrous and synovial sleeve enclosing the single hinge joint between the proximal and distal phalanges of the great toe.
- Articular capsule of knee jointCapsula articularis genusThe fibrous and synovial envelope of the knee joint, enclosing the femur, tibia and patella and extending upwards into the suprapatellar bursa.
- Articular capsule of radiocarpal jointCapsula articularis articulatio radiocarpeaThe fibrous sleeve of the wrist joint, joining the distal radius and the articular disc to the first row of carpals.
