Dorlands Medical Dictionary the angle between a line running through a point beneath the nasal spine and the most prominent point of the lower border of the alveolar process of the superior maxilla and the cephalic horizontal (glabella to opisthocranion). 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. 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. www.mercksource.com /pp/us/cns/cns_hl_dorlands.jspzQzpgzEzzSzppdocszSzuszSzcommonzSzdorlandszSzdorlandzSzdmd_a_41zPzhtm#923334   (2707 words)

Interior of the Skull, Cranial Meninges and Related Vasculature confluens of sinuses lies on the inner surface of the occipital bone; it is between the layers of dura at the junction of the falx cerebri and tentorium cerebelli boundaries: anterior - petrous ridge of the temporal bone; posterior - inner surface of the occipital bone boundaries: anterior - inner surface of the frontal bone; posterior - posterior edge of the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone anatomy.uams.edu /anatomyhtml/cranialcavity.html   (2863 words)

II. Osteology. 5c. The Exterior of the Skull. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. The lateral pterygoid plate is broad; its lateral surface forms the medial boundary of the infratemporal fossa, and affords attachment to the Pterygoideus externus. 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. The pterygomaxillary fissure is vertical, and descends at right angles from the medial end of the preceding; it is a triangular interval, formed by the divergence of the maxilla from the pterygoid process of the sphenoid. www.bartleby.com /107/46.html   (2863 words)

Nose - Open Encyclopedia At the surface of the olfactory epithelium, odor molecules carried by the air contact olfactory receptor neurons which transduce the features of the molecule into electrical impulses in the brain. For this reason, the area from the corners of the mouth to the bridge of the nose, including the nose and maxilla, is known to doctors as the danger triangle of the face. In cetaceans, the nose has been reduced to the nostrils, which have migrated to the top of the head, producing a more streamlined body shape and the ability to breathe while mostly submerged. open-encyclopedia.com /Nose   (405 words)

II. Osteology. 5c. The Exterior of the Skull. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. 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. 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   (405 words)
