Dorlands Medical Dictionary of anterior chamber of eye the angle formed at the border of the anterior chamber by the trabecular reticulum, the ciliary body, and the part of the iris attached to the ciliary body. the angle formed by the intersection of a line connecting the center of the patella and the anterior iliac spine (representing the line of pull of the quadriceps tendon) and a line connecting the center of the patella and the center of the tibial tuberosity; in a normal knee it is 15 degrees. an angle measuring scoliosis as seen on a radiograph: for a given group of vertebrae, lines are drawn across the vertebral column on the upper surface of the upper vertebra and the lower surface of the lower vertebra. www.mercksource.com /pp/us/cns/cns_hl_dorlands.jspzQzpgzEzzSzppdocszSzuszSzcommonzSzdorlandszSzdorlandzSzdmd_a_41zPzhtm#923334   (2707 words)

Maxilla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It is separated from the anterior surface by the zygomatic process and by a strong ridge, extending upward from the socket of the first molar tooth. In front it forms part of the anterior surface; behind, it is concave, and forms part of the infratemporal fossa; above, it is rough and serrated for articulation with the zygomatic bone; while below, it presents the prominent arched border which marks the division between the anterior and infratemporal surfaces. (' processus zygomaticus; malar process') The zygomatic process is a rough triangular eminence, situated at the angle of separation of the anterior, zygomatic, and orbital surfaces. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Maxilla   (2707 words)

Product Clinical Information - Abstracts & Reprints Using fluoroscopy, the foramen ovale was located within the window to the infratemporal fossa bordered by the inferior edge of the zygomatic bone, lateral wall of the maxilla, superior edge of the body of the mandible and the anterior border of the mandible coronoid process. Foramen that may be mistakenly penetrated during the free-hand technique include the, the superior orbital fissure (anterior superior), the jugular foramen (posterior inferior), foramen Vesalii (anterior medial) and Innominant canal of Arnold (posterior) (13), foramen magnum, foramen lacerum. Once identified, the C-Arm was rotated, keeping the image of the foramen ovale in a view under direct fluoroscopy, until the image of the foramen was located within the window to the infratemporal fossa, with a suitable surface point of entry indicated by the laser beam. minrad.com /clin/abs2.html   (2707 words)

II. Osteology. 5c. The Exterior of the Skull. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. The surface is traversed by three sutures, viz.: (1) the coronal sutures, nearly transverse is direction, between the frontal and parietals; (2) the sagittal sutures, medially placed, between the parietal bones, and deeply serrated in its anterior two-thirds; and (3) the upper part of the lambdoidal suture, between the parietals and the occipital. The floor is directed upward and lateralward, and is of less extent than the roof; it is formed chiefly by the orbital surface of the maxilla; in front and laterally, by the orbital process of the zygomatic bone, and behind and medially, to a small extent, by the orbital process of the palatine. They are separated from one another by the vomer, and each is bounded above by the body of the sphenoid, below by the horizontal part of the palatine bone, and laterally by the medial pterygoid plate of the sphenoid. www.bartleby.com /107/46.html   (2863 words)

Laterally this opening is bounded by sharp margins, to which the lateral and alar cartilages of the nose are attached; below, the margins are thicker and curve medialward and forward to end in the anterior nasal spine. They are separated from one another by the vomer, and each is bounded above by the body of the sphenoid, below by the horizontal part of the palatine bone, and laterally by the medial pterygoid plate of the sphenoid. www.bartleby.com /107/46.html   (2863 words)
