| head of mandible | The expanded articular portion of the condylar process of the mandible. Synonym: caput mandibulae. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| neck of mandible | The constricted portion of the condylar process below the head of the mandible. Synonym: collum mandibulae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lingula of mandible | A pointed tongue of bone overlapping the mandibular foramen, giving attachment to the sphenomandibular ligament. Synonym: lingula mandibulae, mandibular tongue, Spix's spine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abdominal external oblique muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, fifth to twelfth ribs; insertion, anterior half of lateral lip of iliac crest, inguinal ligament, and anterior layer of the rectus sheath; action, diminishes capacity of abdomen, draws thorax downward; nerve supply, thoracoabdominal nerves. Synonym: musculus obliquus externus abdominis, abdominal external oblique muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aponeurosis of external abdominal oblique muscle | <anatomy> Broad, flat tendinous portion of the external abdominal oblique muscle. The fleshy fibres of the muscle end in the aponeurosis along a line descending vertically from the costochondral joint of the ninth rib then turning laterally just below the level of the umbilicus toward the anterior superior iliac spine. The fibres of the aponeurosis run medially and inferiorly, contributing to the anterior wall of the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle and decussating with those of the contralateral aponeurosis at the median linea alba. Inferomedially, the aponeurosis is attached to the upper border of the pubic symphysis, the pubic crest and pubic tubercle. Between the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubic tubercle, it is thickened and turned under, forming the inguinal ligaments. The portion of the aponeurosis attached to the pubic bone forms the superficial inguinal ring by splitting into medial and lateral crura. See: external spermatic fascia, inguinal ligament, lacunar ligament, pectineal ligament, reflected inguinal ligament, superficial inguinal ring, rectus sheath. (05 Mar 2000) |
| astigmatism of oblique pencils | An aberration occurring when a bundle of light rays strikes a refracting medium in some other direction than parallel to the axis of the lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Marshall's oblique vein | A small vein on the posterior wall of the left atrium which merges with the great cardiac vein to form the coronary sinus; it is developed from the left common cardinal vein, and occasionally persists as a left superior vena cava. Synonym: vena obliqua atrii sinistri, Marshall's oblique vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sliding oblique osteotomy | An oral surgical procedure in which the mandibular ramus is cut vertically from the sigmoid notch to the angle to facilitate posterior repositioning of the mandible in correction of mandibular prognathism; it may be performed extraorally or intraorally, and is similar to vertical osteotomy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior oblique | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, above the medial margin of the optic canal; insertion, by a tendon passing through the trochlea, or pulley, and then reflected backward, downward, and laterally to the sclera between the superior and lateral recti; action, primary, intorsion; secondary, depression and abduction; nerve supply, trochlear nerve. Synonym: musculus obliquus superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior oblique muscle of head | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, transverse process of atlas; insertion, lateral third of inferior nuchal line; action, rotates head; nerve supply, suboccipital. See: suboccipital muscles. Synonym: musculus obliquus capitis superior, superior oblique muscle of head. (05 Mar 2000) |
| illumination, oblique | <microscopy> Illumination from light inclined at an oblique angle to the optical axis. (05 Aug 1998) |
| inferior oblique | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, orbital plate of maxilla lateral to the lacrimal groove; insertion, sclera between the superior and lateral recti; action, primary, extorsion; secondary, elevation and abduction; nerve supply, oculomotor (inferior branch). Synonym: musculus obliquus inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior oblique muscle of head | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, spinous process of axis; insertion, transverse process of the atlas; action, rotates head; origin, spinous process of axis; insertion, transverse process of the atlas; nerve supply, suboccipital. See: suboccipital muscles. Synonym: musculus obliquus capitis inferior, inferior oblique muscle of head. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oblique | 1. Not erect or perpendicular; neither parallel to, nor at right angles from, the base; slanting; inclined. "It has a direction oblique to that of the former motion." (Cheyne) 2. Not straightforward; indirect; obscure; hence, disingenuous; underhand; perverse; sinister. "The love we bear our friends. Hath in it certain oblique ends." (Drayton) "This mode of oblique research, when a more direct one is denied, we find to be the only one in our power." (De Quincey) "Then would be closed the restless, oblique eye. That looks for evil, like a treacherous spy." (Wordworth) 3. Not direct in descent; not following the line of father and son; collateral. "His natural affection in a direct line was strong, in an oblique but weak." (Baker) Oblique angle, Oblique ascension, etc. See Angle,Ascension, etc. Oblique arch, that part of the curtain whence the fire of the opposite bastion may be discovered. Oblique leaf. <botany> A system in which the coordinate axes are oblique to each other. Origin: F, fr. L. Obliquus; ob (see Ob-) + liquis oblique; cf. Licinus bent upward, Gr slanting Alternative forms: oblike. <geometry> An oblique line. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| oblique amputation | Amputation in which the line of section through an extremity is at other than a right angle; this yields an oval appearance to the cut surface (hence sometimes, though rarely, referred to as an oval amputation). (05 Mar 2000) |
