- Superior diaphragmatic nodesNodi phrenici superioresLymph nodes on the upper, thoracic surface of the diaphragm, arranged in front, middle and back sets on each side.
- Superior epigastric arteryArteria epigastrica superiorA terminal branch of the internal thoracic artery that descends inside the rectus sheath to supply the upper anterior abdominal wall.
- Superior epigastric veinsVenae epigastricae superioresPaired veins in the upper rectus sheath that drain the upper anterior abdominal wall and continue upwards as the internal thoracic veins.
- Superior frontal gyrusGyrus frontalis superiorThe uppermost convolution of the frontal lobe, running front to back beside the longitudinal fissure and onto the medial surface.
- Superior frontal sulcusSulcus frontalis superiorA long groove on the outer surface of the frontal lobe that separates the superior frontal gyrus from the middle frontal gyrus.
- Superior gemellus muscleMusculus gemellus superiorA small muscle at the back of the hip, running from the ischial spine along the upper edge of the obturator internus tendon.
- Superior glenohumeral ligamentLigamentum glenohumerale superiusThe uppermost glenohumeral ligament, a slender band from the top of the glenoid to a pit just above the lesser tubercle.
- Superior gluteal arteryArteria glutea superiorThe largest internal iliac branch, leaving the pelvis above piriformis to supply the gluteal muscles and hip region.
- Superior gluteal nerveNervus gluteus superiorA branch of the sacral plexus that leaves the pelvis above piriformis and supplies gluteus medius, gluteus minimus and tensor fasciae latae.
- Superior gluteal nodesNodi glutei superioresA small group of internal iliac lymph nodes lying along the superior gluteal artery as it leaves the pelvis above piriformis.
- Superior gluteal veinsVenae gluteae superioresPaired companion veins of the superior gluteal artery that drain the upper buttock and enter the pelvis above piriformis to the internal iliac vein.
- Superior head of lateral pterygoid muscleCaput superius musculi pterygoidei lateralisThe superior head of the lateral pterygoid is its small upper part, from the sphenoid's greater wing to the jaw-joint disc.
- Superior labial arteryArteria labialis superiorA branch of the facial artery that runs along the upper lip, between orbicularis oris and the lining, and sends branches to the nose.
- Superior labial veinVena labialis superiorA small vein that drains the upper lip and runs outwards to join the facial vein near the angle of the mouth.
- Superior lateral brachial cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus lateralis posterioris femorisThe cutaneous end of the posterior branch of the axillary nerve, supplying skin over the lower deltoid on the outer shoulder.
- Superior lateral genicular arteryArteria superior lateralis genusA branch of the popliteal artery that winds round the femur above the lateral condyle to the front of the knee.
- Superior lingular artery of left lungArteria lingularis superior pulmonis sinistriThe segmental branch of the left pulmonary artery to the superior lingular segment of the left upper lobe.
- Superior lobar artery of right lungArteria lobaris superior pulmonis dextriThe first branch of the right pulmonary artery, carrying blood to the upper lobe of the right lung.
- Superior lobe of left lungLobus superior pulmonis sinistriThe upper lobe of the left lung, holding the apex and the tongue-like lingula that curves round the front of the heart.
- Superior lobe of right lungLobus superior pulmonis dextriThe uppermost of the three lobes of the right lung, filling the top of the right chest above the horizontal and oblique fissures.
- Superior medial genicular arteryArteria superior medialis genusA popliteal branch that winds round the inner side of the femur just above the knee to supply the joint.
- Superior mesenteric arteryArteria mesenteries superiorAn unpaired branch of the abdominal aorta that supplies the intestine from the lower duodenum to two-thirds of the way along the transverse colon.
- Superior mesenteric veinVena mesenterica superiorThe large vein draining the small intestine and right colon, which joins the splenic vein behind the pancreas to form the portal vein.
- Superior oblique muscleMusculus obliquus superior bulbi oculiThe superior oblique is a slender eye muscle whose tendon turns through a pulley in the orbit to twist the eye and lower it.
