lateral branches (medicine)


lateral branches
Branches directed away from the midline, to the side. Nomina Anatomica lists lateral branches (ramus lasteralis/rami laterales) of the following: 1) anterior interventricular artery, ramus lateralis interventricularis anterioris arteriae coronariae sinistrae; 2) anterolateral central arteries, rami laterales arteriarum centralium anterolateralium; 3) dorsal primary rami of spinal nerves, rami laterales ramorum dorsalium nervorum cervicalium/thoracalium/lumbalium/sacralium; 4) left branch of portal vein, rami laterales rami sinistri venae portae hepatis; 5) left hepatic duct, ramus lateralis ductus hepatici sinistri; 6) middle lobe branch of right pulmonary artery, ramus lateralis ramorum lobarium medium arteriorum pulmonarium dextrum; 7) supraorbital nerve, ramus lateralis nervi supraorbitalis.

Synonym: rami laterales.


neuronal guidance (medicine)


neuronal guidance -->
axonal guidance
<cell biology> General term for mechanisms that ensure correct projections by nerve cells in developing and regenerating nervous systems. Implies accurate navigation by growth cones, the highly motile tips of growing neuronal processes.
