| axial | <anatomy> Position as it relates to the CNS. Intra-axial is within the CNS, extra-axial is outside the CNS. (16 Dec 1997) |
|---|---|
| axial ametropia | That resulting from a shortening or lengthening of the eyeball on the optic axis, causing hyperopia or myopia, respectively. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axial aneurysm | An aneurysm involving the entire circumference of a blood vessel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axial angle | An angle formed by two surfaces of a body, the line of union of which is parallel with its axis; the axial angle's of a tooth are the distobuccal, distolabial, distolingual, mesiobuccal, mesiolabial, and mesiolingual. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axial cataract | A lenticular opacity in the visual axis of the lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axial current | The central rapidly moving portion of the bloodstream in an artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axial filament | The central filament of a flagellum or cilium; with the electron microscope it is seen as a complex of nine peripheral diplomicrotubules and a central pair of microtubules. Synonym: axoneme. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axial hyperopia | Hyperopia due to shortening of the anteroposterior diameter of the globe of the eye. (05 Mar 2000) |

| axial neuritis | Inflammation of the nervous substance proper, the axons, and myelin. Synonym: axial neuritis, central neuritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axial pattern flap | A flap that includes a direct specific artery within its longitudinal axis. Synonym: arterial flap. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axial plane | Transverse plane, as in CT scanning. Synonym: transaxial plane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axial plate | The primitive streak of an embryo. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axial point | One of two point's in a compound optical system so related that a ray directed toward the first point will appear to have passed through the second point parallel to its original direction. Synonym: axial point. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axial projection | Radiographic projection devised to obtain direct visualization of the base of the skull. Synonym: axial view, base projection, submental vertex projection, submentovertical projection, verticosubmental view. (05 Mar 2000) |
