Superior ramus

Superior Ramus is a term used in anatomy to refer to the upper branch of a structure. The term 'ramus' is derived from the Latin word for 'branch'. In the context of human anatomy, the superior ramus often refers to a part of a bone that extends upward.

Superior Ramus of Pubis

The Superior Ramus of Pubis is a part of the pubic bone, which is one of the three bones that make up the hip bone. It extends from the body of the pubis to the pubic tubercle. The superior ramus of the pubis forms a part of the obturator foramen, which is a large opening in the hip bone.

Superior Ramus of Ischium

The Superior Ramus of Ischium is a part of the ischium, which is the lower and back part of the hip bone. The superior ramus of the ischium extends from the body of the ischium to the ischial spine. It forms a part of the obturator foramen and the acetabulum, which is the socket of the hip joint.

Superior Ramus of Mandible

The Superior Ramus of Mandible is a part of the mandible, which is the lower jawbone in humans. The superior ramus of the mandible extends upward from the body of the mandible and ends in two processes: the coronoid process and the condylar process. The superior ramus of the mandible forms a part of the temporomandibular joint, which is the joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull.
