Nerves · HeadOculomotor nerve (III)Nervus oculomotorius (III)The third cranial nerve, running from the midbrain to the orbit to move most eye muscles, lift the upper lid and narrow the pupil.
Nerves · HeadOlfactory nerve (I)Nervus olfactorius (I)The first cranial nerve: fine bundles carrying smell from the roof of the nasal cavity through the ethmoid bone to the olfactory bulb.
Nerves · HeadOphthalmic nerveNervus ophthalmicusThe smallest, uppermost trigeminal division, sensory to the eye, upper eyelid, forehead, scalp and part of the nose.
Nerves · HeadOptic nerve (II)Nervus opticus (II)The second cranial nerve, a bundle of axons from the retina running through the optic canal to the optic chiasm.
Nerves · Upper limbPalmar branch of median nerveRamus palmaris nervi medianiA cutaneous branch of the median nerve that leaves it above the wrist and crosses over the flexor retinaculum to the palm.
Nerves · Upper limbPalmar branch of ulnar nerveRamus palmaris nervi ulnarisA small cutaneous branch of the ulnar nerve that arises in the forearm and supplies skin over the hypothenar side of the palm and wrist.
Nerves · Upper limbPosterior antebrachial cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus posterior antebrachiiA cutaneous branch of the radial nerve, given in the arm, that supplies a strip of skin down the back of the forearm.
Nerves · Upper limbPosterior branch of medial antebrachial cutaneous nerveRamus posterior nervi cutanei medialis antebrachiiThe smaller terminal branch of the medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm, supplying skin on the back of the ulnar side of the forearm.
Nerves · Lower limbPosterior branch of obturator nerveRamus posterior nervi obturatoriiThe deep division of the obturator nerve, passing through obturator externus to supply the deep adductors and send a twig to the knee.
Nerves · Upper limbPosterior cord of brachial plexusFasciculus posterior plexus brachialisThe cord of the brachial plexus behind the axillary artery, built from all three posterior divisions and giving the radial and axillary nerves.
Nerves · Upper limbPosterior division of inferior trunk of brachial plexusDivisio posterior trunci inferioris plexus brachialisThe smaller, back-facing branch of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus, carrying C8 and T1 fibres into the posterior cord.
Nerves · HeadPosterior division of mandibular nerveDivisio posterior nervi mandibularisThe larger hind trunk of the mandibular nerve, mainly sensory, ending in three large nerves for the ear, tongue and lower teeth.
Nerves · Upper limbPosterior division of middle trunk of brachial plexusDivisio posterior trunci medii plexus brachialisThe back-facing branch of the middle trunk of the brachial plexus, carrying C7 fibres into the posterior cord.
Nerves · Upper limbPosterior division of superior trunk of brachial plexusDivisio posterior trunci superioris plexus brachialisThe back branch of the upper trunk of the brachial plexus, which joins the other posterior divisions behind the clavicle to form the posterior cord.
Nerves · Whole bodyPosterior fasciculus propriusFasciculus proprius posteriorA thin layer of short intersegmental fibres in the deepest part of the posterior white column of the spinal cord, next to the posterior horn.
Nerves · Lower limbPosterior femoral cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus femoris posteriorA sensory branch of the sacral plexus that supplies the skin of the lower buttock, the back of the thigh and the upper calf.
Nerves · Upper limbPosterior interosseous nerve of forearmNervus interosseus posterior antebrachiiThe motor nerve of the back of the forearm, carrying on from the deep radial branch to the extensor muscles.
Nerves · HeadPosterior 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.
Nerves · Lower limbPosterior 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.
Nerves · TrunkPosterior 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.
Nerves · Whole bodyPosterolateral tractFasciculus posterolateralisA small strand of fine fibres capping the posterior horn, where incoming pain and temperature fibres travel briefly before ending.
Nerves · Upper limbProper 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.
Nerves · Upper limbProper 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.
Nerves · Lower limbProper 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.
