branch

(noun)

An area in business or of knowledge, research.

Examples of branch in the following topics:

  • Branches of Spinal Nerves

    • The spinal nerves branch into the dorsal ramus, ventral ramus, the meningeal branches, and the rami communicantes.
    • The meningeal branches (recurrent meningeal or sinuvertebral nerves): These branch from the spinal nerve and re-enter the intervertebral foramen to serve the ligaments, dura, blood vessels, intervertebral discs, facet joints, and periosteum of the vertebrae.
    • This diagram depicts the course and branches of a typical thoracic spinal nerve.
  • Checking the Power of the Governing Party

    • The legislative branch of the United States government is composed of the Senate and House of Representatives.
    • The legislative branch can also check the governing party by starting investigations against the executive branch.
    • If one political party holds the executive branch of government then another political party can check the power of the executive branch by holding a majority of seats in the legislative branch .
    • While the Democratic Party occupied the executive branch, the Republican Party held the majority of seats in the legislative branch.
    • This division of parties between the executive and legislative branches impairs the ability of the president to enact policies, since the legislative branch must first approve these policies.

  • Mechanics of Release Branches

    • A branch usually sprouts from another branch or from the trunk.
    • In CVS, the branch command would be something like this
    • Notice that we created branch "1.0.x" (with a literal "x") instead of "1.0.0".
    • When the release branch is stabilized and ready, it is time to tag a snapshot from the branch:
    • This is not the only release branch strategy, of course.
  • Muscular Arteries

    • Distributing arteries are medium-sized arteries that draw blood from an elastic artery and branch into "resistance vessels".
    • Muscular, or distributing, arteries are medium-sized arteries that draw blood from an elastic artery and branch into "resistance vessels" including small arteries and arterioles.
    • It branches from the celiac artery, and follows a course superior to the pancreas.
    • The splenic artery gives off branches to the stomach and pancreas before reaching the spleen.

  • Brachial Plexus

    • The brachial plexus is divided into roots, trunks, divisions, cords, and branches.
    • There are five "terminal" branches and numerous other "preterminal" or "collateral" branches that leave the plexus at various points along its length.
    • Most branches branch from the cords, but a few branch directly from earlier structures.
    • The five on the left are considered "terminal branches."

  • Branches and Subdisciplines of Biology

    • The field of biology can be divided into various branches and subdisciplines, which leads to careers that result in more focused fields.
    • Examples of biological branches include microbiology, physiology, ecology and genetics.
    • Examples of subdisciplines within these branches include: microbial physiology, microbial ecology and microbial genetics.
    • The scope of biology is broad and therefore contains many branches and subdisciplines.
    • It is quite a broad branch itself, and depending on the subject of study, there are also microbial physiologists, ecologists, and geneticists, among others.
  • Lumbar Plexus

    • It gives off several motor branches to these muscles and a sensory branch to the skin of the lateral hip.
    • In males, the genital branch runs in the spermatic cord then sends sensory branches to the scrotal skin and supplies motor innervations to the cremaster muscle.
    • It then sends sensory branches to the labia majora in females.
    • In the thigh, it sends motor branches to obturator externus before dividing into an anterior and a posterior branch, both of which continue distally.
    • In the thigh, it divides into numerous sensory and muscular branches and the saphenous nerve, its long sensory terminal branch which continues down to the foot.
