| femur | <anatomy> The large bone in the thigh that articulates with the pelvis above and the knee below. (27 Sep 1997) |

| lateral condyle of femur | The lateral condyle is longer than the medial condyle. Synonym: condylus lateralis femoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral epicondyle of femur | The epicondylus located proximal to the lateral condyle. Synonym: epicondylus lateralis ossis femoris, lateral femoral tuberosity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anal pit | 1. An ectodermally lined depression under the root of the tail, adjacent to the terminal part of the embryonic hindgut; at its bottom, proctodeal ectoderm and cloacal endoderm form the cloacal plate. When this epithelial plate ruptures, the anal and urogenital external orifices are established. Synonym: anal pit. 2. Terminal portion of the insect alimentary canal, extending from the pylorus (area of malpighian tubule attachment) to the anal opening; in certain diptera (flies) and other insects, the proctodeum is divided into a tubular anterior intestine and an enlarged posterior intestine, or rectum, ending at the anus. Origin: L. Fr. G. Proktos, anus + hodaios, on the way, fr. Hodos, a way (05 Mar 2000) |
| borrow pit | Excavations created by the surface mining of rock, unconsolidated geologic deposits or soil to provide material (borrow) for fill elsewhere. (09 Oct 1997) |
| buccal pit | A structural depression found on the buccal enamel of molars. (05 Mar 2000) |

| coated pit | <biology> First stage in the formation of a coated vesicle. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pit | Region of the plant cell wall in which the secondary wall is interrupted, exposing the underlying primary cell wall. One or more plasmodesmata are usually present in the primary wall, communicating with the other half of a pit pair. May be simple or bordered, in the latter case, the secondary wall overarches the pit field. Do not confuse with coated pits. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pit and fissure caries | Caries initiated in the areas where developmental pits and fissures are located on the tooth surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pit and fissure sealants | Agents used to occlude dental enamel pits and fissures in the prevention of dental caries. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pit caries | A carious lesion, usually small, beginning in a pit on the labial, buccal, lingual, or occlusal surface of a tooth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pit, ear | Tiny pit in front of the ear. Also preauricular pit. A minor anomaly of no great consequence in itself. More common in blacks than whites and in females than males. Can recur in families. The presence of 2 or more minor anomalies in a child increases the probability that the child has a major malformation. (12 Dec 1998) |
