Applicable Clinical Terms Definitions
Arteries: The vessels carrying blood away from the heart.
Brachial Plexus: The large network of nerve fibers which distributes the innervation of the upper extremity. The brachial plexus extends from the neck into the axilla. In humans, the nerves of the plexus usually originate from the lower cervical and the first thoracic spinal cord segments (C5-C8 and T1), but variations are not uncommon.
Cauda Equina: The lower part of the SPINAL CORD consisting of the lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal nerve roots.
Cranial Nerves: Twelve pairs of nerves that carry general afferent, visceral afferent, special afferent, somatic efferent, and autonomic efferent fibers.
Esophagus: The muscular membranous segment between the PHARYNX and the STOMACH in the UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT.
Eustachian Tube: A narrow passageway that connects the upper part of the throat to the TYMPANIC CAVITY.
Facies: The appearance of the face that is often characteristic of a disease or pathological condition, as the elfin facies of WILLIAMS SYNDROME or facies of DOWN SYNDROME. (Random House Unabridged Dictionary, 2d ed)
Heart: The hollow, muscular organ that maintains the circulation of the blood.
Intestines: The section of the alimentary canal from the STOMACH to the ANAL CANAL. It includes the LARGE INTESTINE and SMALL INTESTINE.
Lumbosacral Plexus: The lumbar and sacral plexuses taken together. The fibers of the lumbosacral plexus originate in the lumbar and upper sacral spinal cord (L1 to S3) and innervate the lower extremities.
Lung: Either of the pair of organs occupying the cavity of the thorax that effect the aeration of the blood.
Lymphatic Vessels: Tubular vessels that are involved in the transport of LYMPH and LYMPHOCYTES.
Syndrome: A characteristic symptom complex.
Trachea: The cartilaginous and membranous tube descending from the larynx and branching into the right and left main bronchi.
Umbilical Cord: The flexible rope-like structure that connects a developing FETUS to the PLACENTA in mammals. The cord contains blood vessels which carry oxygen and nutrients from the mother to the fetus and waste products away from the fetus.
Ureter: One of a pair of thick-walled tubes that transports urine from the KIDNEY PELVIS to the URINARY BLADDER.
Veins: The vessels carrying blood away from the CAPILLARY BEDS.
