| tore supra | <radiobiology> Large tokamak in Cadarache (southern France). The second largest tokamak in Europe, largest tokamak using superconducting toroidal field magnets. Tore Supra has a circular cross-section (like TFTR), which limits the achievable confinement time and experimental flexibility. In addition to developing superconducting technology, it concentrates on the physics of long pulses and ergodic magnetic limiters. See: ergodic, magnetic limiter, superconductor, tokamak.

| spina | Synonym: vertebral column. Origin: L. A thorn, the backbone, spine (05 Mar 2000) |
| spina angularis | A posterior and downward projection from the greater wing of the sphenoid bone on either side, located posterolateral to the foramen spinosum, so-named for its proximity to the sphenoidal spine; gives attachment to the sphenomandibular ligament. Synonym: processus spinosus, spina ossis sphenoidalis, alar spine, angular spine, spina angularis, spinous process. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spina bifida | A congenital limited defect in the spinal column, characterised by the absence of the vertebral arches through which the spinal membranes and spinal cord may protrude. (27 Sep 1997) |
| spina bifida aperta | A bony defect in the vertebral column through which the meningeal membranes that cover the spinal cord and part of the spinal cord protrude. An alternative term is meningomyelocele. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spina bifida cystica | A bony defect in the vertebral column through which the meningeal membranes that cover the spinal cord and part of the spinal cord protrude. An alternative term is meningomyelocele. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spina bifida manifesta | A bony defect in the vertebral column through which the meningeal membranes that cover the spinal cord and part of the spinal cord protrude. An alternative term is meningomyelocele. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spina bifida occulta | Literally, a hidden cleft in the spine. A bony defect in the vertebral column which remains hidden, covered by skin (12 Dec 1998) |
| spina dorsalis | The series of vertebrae that extend from the cranium to the coccyx, providing support and forming a flexible bony case for the spinal cord. Synonym: columna vertebralis, backbone, dorsal spine, rachis, spina dorsalis, spina, spina, spinal column, spine, vertebrarium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spina frontalis | S, nasalis ossis frontalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spina helicis | An anteriorly directed spine at the extremity of the crus of the helix of the auricle. Synonym: spina helicis, apophysis helicis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spina iliaca anterior inferior | Spine on the anterior border of the ilium between the anterior superior iliac spine and the acetabulum; site of origin for the direct head of the rectus femoris muscle. Synonym: spina iliaca anterior inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spina iliaca anterior superior | The anterior extremity of the iliac crest, which provides attachment for the inguinal ligament and the sartorius muscle. Synonym: spina iliaca anterior superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spina iliaca posterior inferior | Spine at the inferior end of the posterior border of the ilium between the posterior superior iliac spine and the greater sciatic notch; it forms the upper margin of the latter. Synonym: spina iliaca posterior inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spina iliaca posterior superior | The posterior extremity of the iliac crest, the uppermost point of attachment of the sacrotuberous and posterior sacroiliac ligaments; a readily apparent dimple occurs in the skin overlying the posterior superior iliac spine which is clinically useful as an indication of the level of the S-2 vertebra, the level of the inferior limit of the subarachnoid space. Synonym: spina iliaca posterior superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
