| epiphysial line | The line of junction of the epiphysis and diaphysis of a long bone where growth in length occurs. Synonym: linea epiphysialis, synchondrosis epiphyseos. (05 Mar 2000) |
| false Becke line | <microscopy> A second bright line which moves in the direction opposite to the Becke line. It is usually observed with thick particles or when the refractive index difference between particles and mountant is large. It appears as a concentration of reflected light at the high index side of the interface. (05 Aug 1998) |

| Feiss line | A line running from the medial malleolus to the plantar aspect of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Lanz's line | A horizontal plane passing through the anterior superior iliac spines; it marks the boundary between the lateral and umbilical regions superiorly and the inguinal and pubic regions inferiorly. Synonym: planum interspinale, Lanz's line. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral line sense organ | A structure in fish consisting of a long groove or canal extending along each side of the trunk and tail and branching in the head region; the groove or tube is lined with neuroepithelial cells, some of which are in groups known as neuromasts; its function appears to be the detection of vibrations of low frequency. Synonym: neuromast organ. (05 Mar 2000) |
