| styloid process of radius | A thick, pointed, palpable projection on the lateral side of the distal extremity of the radius. Synonym: processus styloideus radii. (05 Mar 2000) |

| syndrome, thrombocytopenia-absent radius | See Syndrome, TAR. (12 Dec 1998) |
| interosseous border of radius | The ridge along the medial side of the radius to which is attached the interosseous membrane. Synonym: margo interosseus radii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| orbicular ligament of radius | The ligament that encircles and holds the head of the radius in the radial notch of the ulna, forming the proximal radioulnar joint and enabling pronation/supination of forearm; receives the radial collateral ligament of the elbow. Synonym: ligamentum annulare radii, ligamentum orbiculare radii, orbicular ligament of radius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thrombocytopenia-absent radius syndrome | <syndrome> Tar stands for thrombocytopenia (low blood platelets) and aplasia (absence) of the radius (the long bone on the thumb-side of the forearm), features characterizing this syndrome. There is phocomelia (flipper-limb) with the thumbs always present. The fibula (the smaller bone in the lower leg) is often absent. The risk of bleeding from too few platelets is high in early infancy but lessens with age. The condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive trait with one gene (on a non-sex chromosome) coming from each parent to the tar child. Alternative names include thrombocytopenia-absent radius syndrome, radial aplasia-thrombocytopenia syndrome, and tetraphocomelia-thrombocytopenia syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| effective collision radius | <radiobiology> Effective size of a particle equal to the square root of (cross-section/pi). Determines the effective range of interaction of the particle. (09 Oct 1997) |
| tuberosity of radius | An oval projection from the medial surface of the radius just distal to the neck, giving attachment on its posterior half to the tendon of the biceps. Synonym: tuberositas radii, bicipital tuberosity, tuber radii, tuberosity of radius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| finite larmor radius | (FLR) In many plasma theories the size of the Larmor radius (or gyroradius) is assumed to be negligibly small, or infinitesimal. Different effects occur when the size of the Larmor radius is finite and needs to be considered. (09 Oct 1997) |
| larmor radius | <radiobiology> The radius of the path of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field (and transverse to the field lines). Synonym: gyroradius, cyclotron radius. (09 Oct 1997) |
| anterior margin | The ventral or most forward margin of a structure. Synonym: anterior margin, ventral border. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular margin | A ring of fibrocartilage attached to the margin of the glenoid cavity of the scapula to increase its depth. Synonym: labrum glenoidale, articular margin, circumferential cartilage, glenoid ligament, glenoidal lip, ligamentum glenoidale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| margin | 1. A border; edge; brink; verge; as, the margin of a river or lake. 2. Specifically: The part of a page at the edge left uncovered in writing or printing. 3. The difference between the cost and the selling price of an article. 4. Something allowed, or reserved, for that which can not be foreseen or known with certainty. 5. Collateral security deposited with a broker to secure him from loss on contracts entered into by him on behalf of his principial, as in the speculative buying and selling of stocks, wheat, etc. Margin draft, that part of a course, as of slates or shingles, which is not covered by the course immediately above it. See Gauge. Synonym: Border, brink, verge, brim, rim. Origin: OE. Margine, margent, L. Margo, ginis. Cf. March a border, Marge. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| margin of acetabulum | The rim of bone around the acetabulum to which is attached the labrum acetabulare. Synonym: limbus acetabuli, margo acetabularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| margin of fossa ovalis | A muscular ring surrounding the fossa ovalis in the wall of the right atrium of the heart. Synonym: annulus ovalis, margin of fossa ovalis, Vieussens' annulus, Vieussens' isthmus, Vieussens' limbus, Vieussens' ring. (05 Mar 2000) |
| margin of orbit | The mostly sharp edge of the orbital opening which is the peripheral border of the base of the pyramid-shaped orbit. The superior half of the orbital rim is the supraorbital margin; the inferior half is the infraorbital margin. The frontal, maxillary, and zygomatic bones contribute to the orbital rim, which is generally strong to protect the orbital contents. Weak, potential fracture sites of the rim coincide with the sutures between the participating bones. Synonym: margin of orbit. (05 Mar 2000) |
