nervus accessorius (medicine)


nervus accessorius -->
accessory nerve
<anatomy, nerve> The accessory nerve enervates the sternocleidomastoid muscles and the trapezius muscles.

Lesions of the eleventh result in drooping of the shoulder and inability to rotate the head away from the affected side.

Synonym: cranial nerve XI.


gland (sh)




Collection of cells or tissue that removes specific substances from the blood, alters or concentrates them, and then either releases them for further use by the body or eliminates them.

Typically, the functional cells of a gland rest on a membrane and are surrounded by a meshwork of blood vessels. Endocrine, or ductless, glands (e.g., pituitary, thyroid, adrenal) discharge hormones into the bloodstream directly rather than through ducts (see endocrine system). Exocrine glands (e.g., digestive, mammary, salivary, sweat) discharge their products through ducts.
