| roof | 1. To cover with a roof. "I have not seen the remains of any Roman buildings that have not been roofed with vaults or arches." (Addison) 2. To inclose in a house; figuratively, to shelter. "Here had we now our country's honor roofed." (Shak) Origin: Roofed; Roofing. 1. The cover of any building, including the roofing (see Roofing) and all the materials and construction necessary to carry and maintain the same upon the walls or other uprights. In the case of a building with vaulted ceilings protected by an outer roof, some writers call the vault the roof, and the outer protection the roof mask. It is better, however, to consider the vault as the ceiling only, in cases where it has farther covering. 2. That which resembles, or corresponds to, the covering or the ceiling of a house; as, the roof of a cavern; the roof of the mouth. "The flowery roof Showered roses, which the morn repaired." (Milton) 3. <chemical> The surface or bed of rock immediately overlying a bed of coal or a flat vein. Bell roof, French roof, etc. See Plate. Origin: OE. Rof, AS. Hrf top, roof; akin to D. Roef cabin, Icel. Hrf a shed under which ships are built or kept; cf. OS. Hrst roof, Goth. Hrt. Cf. Roost. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| roof nucleus | The most medial of the cerebellar nuclei, lying medial to the interpositus nucleus, near the midline, in the white matter underneath the vermis of the cerebellar cortex. It receives the axons of Purkinje cells from all parts of the vermis. Its major projection is to the vestibular nuclei and medullary reticular formation. Synonym: nucleus fastigii, fastigatum, nucleus tecti, roof nucleus, tectal nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| roof of fourth ventricle | Roof of fourth ventricle, formed in its upper part by the superior medullary velum stretching between the two brachia conjunctiva (superior cerebellar peduncles), in its lower part by the inferior medullary velum composed of the choroid membrane and choroid plexus of the fourth ventricle. Synonym: roof of fourth ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| roof of mouth | 1. <anatomy> The roof of the mouth. The fixed portion, or palate proper, supported by the maxillary and palatine bones, is called the hard palate to distinguish it from the membranous and muscular curtain which separates the cavity of the mouth from the pharynx and is called the soft palate, or velum. 2. Relish; taste; liking; a sense originating in the mistaken notion that the palate is the organ of taste. "Hard task! to hit the palate of such guests." (Pope) 3. Mental relish; intellectual taste. 4. <botany> A projection in the throat of such flowers as the snapdragon. Origin: L. Palatum: cf. F. Palais, Of. Also palat.

| roof of orbit | Formed by the orbital plate of the frontal bone and the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone, the optic canal opens at its posterior limit; an indentation, the fossa for the lacrimal gland, is located in the anterolateral part of the roof. Synonym: paries superior orbitae, superior wall of orbit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| roof of tympanic cavity | The superior wall, or roof, of the tympanic cavity, formed by the tegmen tympani of the temporal bone. Synonym: paries tegmentalis cavi tympani, tegmental wall of middle ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| roof of tympanum | The roof of the middle ear, formed by the thinned anterior surface of the petrous portion of the temporal bone. Its anterior edge is inserted into the petrosquamous fissure so that it can be seen as a wedge of bone subdividing that fissure into a squamo tympanic and a petrotympanic fissure. Synonym: roof of tympanum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| roof plate | The thin layer of the embryonic neural tube connecting the alar plate's dorsally. Synonym: dorsal plate of neural tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal skull fracture | <orthopaedics> A fracture involving the base of the cranium. This fracture is often difficult to detect clinically. Findings may include raccoon eyes, Battle's sign, haemotympanum and cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea. Plain skull X-ray will often not reveal the basal skull fracture, making a CT scan or MRI the most reliable diagnostic investigation. (15 Nov 1997) |
| base of skull | The sloping floor of the cranial cavity. It comprises both the external base of skull (external view) and the internal base of skull (internal view). See: internal base of skull. Synonym: basis cranii, cranial base. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bones of skull | The paired inferior nasal concha, lacrimal, maxilla, nasal, palatine, parietal, temporal, and zygomatic; and the unpaired ethmoid, frontal, occipital, sphenoid, and vomer. Synonym: ossa cranii, cranial bones. (05 Mar 2000) |
| maplike skull | Various defects in the skull, especially in the temporal bone, the anterior fossa, and orbits, forming irregular outlines resembling the national boundaries in an atlas. (05 Mar 2000) |
| closed skull fracture | Fracture with intact overlying scalp and/or mucous membranes. Synonym: simple skull fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cloverleaf skull | <syndrome> Intrauterine bone dysplasia and synostosis of the coronal and lambdoid sutures producing a trilobar head shape, due to premature fusion (craniosynostosis) of all sutures. This produces various craniofacial and long-bone anomalies. The condition is sporadic; no evidence to suggest a genetic cause although there may be some hereditary in Crouzon syndrome. (20 Jun 2000) |
