nervus suboccipitalis (medicine) and uroporphyrinogens (medicine)


nervus suboccipitalis (medicine)


nervus suboccipitalis -->
suboccipital nerve
Dorsal ramus of the first cervical nerve, passing through the suboccipital triangle and sending branches to the rectus capitis posterior major and minor, obliquus capitis superior and inferior, rectus capitis lateralis, and semispinalis capitis; the first cervical spinal nerve is generally considered to have only motor fibres, but the suboccipital nerve receives sensory fibres for proprioception via a communicating branch from the second cervical spinal nerve.

Synonym: nervus suboccipitalis.


uroporphyrinogens (medicine)


uroporphyrinogens
Porphyrinogens which are intermediates in haem biosynthesis. They have four acetic acid and four propionic acid side chains attached to the pyrrole rings. Uroporphyrinogen I and III are formed from polypyrryl methane in the presence of uroporphyrinogen III cosynthetase and uroporphyrin I synthetase, respectively. They can yield uroporphyrins by autooxidation or coproporphyrinogens by decarboxylation.
