| arch | <dentistry> Collectively, either the teeth or the basal bone of either jaw. (08 Jan 1998) |
|---|---|
| arch bar | Any one of several types of wires, bar's, or splints conforming to the arch of the teeth, extending from one side of the arch to the other and located labially, or lingually; used for the treatment of jaw fractures and/or stabilization of injured teeth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arch length | The amount of space required for the permanent teeth as measured from the mesial aspect of the first molar on one side to the mesial aspect of the first molar on the opposite side, as measured through the contact points along an imaginary line of the dental arch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arch length deficiency | The difference between the available circumference of the dental arch and that required to accommodate the succedaneous teeth in proper alignment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arch-loop-whorl system | See: Galton's system of classification of fingerprints. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arch of cricoid cartilage | The narrow part of the cartilage that encircles the air passage anterior to the lamina. Synonym: arcus cartilaginis cricoideae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arch of the aorta | The curved portion between the ascending and descending parts of the aorta; it begins as a continuation of the ascending aorta posterior to the sternal angle, runs posteriorly and slightly to the left as it passes over the root of the left lung, and becomes the descending aorta as it reaches and begins to course along the vertebral column; it gives rise to the brachiocephalic trunk, the left common carotid and left subclavian arteries. Any member of the several pairs of arterial channels encircling the embryonic pharynx in the mesenchyme of the brachial arches; there are potentially six pairs, but in mammals the fifth pair is poorly developed or absent. The first and second pairs are functional only in very young embryos; the third pair is involved in the formation of the carotids; the fourth arch on the left is incorporated in the arch of the aorta; the sixth pair forms the proximal part of the pulmonary arteries. A series of arterial channels encircling the embryonic pharynx in the mesenchyme of the branchial arch's. There are potentially six pairs, but in mammals the fifth pair is poorly developed or absent. The first and second pairs are functional only in very young embryos; the third pair is involved in the formation of the carotids; the fourth arch on the left is incorporated in the arch of the aorta; the sixth pair forms the proximal part of the pulmonary arteries. Synonym: arcus aortae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arch of the palate | The vaulted roof of the mouth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arch of thoracic duct | See: thoracic duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arterial arch of lower eyelid | Formed by the medial palpebral artery which communicates with a branch of the lacrimal artery along the tarsal margin. Synonym: arcus palpebralis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arterial arch of upper eyelid | Formed by communicating branches of the medial and lateral palpebral arteries. Often two arches are present, one located near the free border of the tarsal plate, the other along the upper border of the tarsus. Synonym: arcus palpebralis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| available arch length | <dentistry> The amount of space available for the permanent teeth around the dental arch from the first permanent molar on the left to the first permanent molar on the right. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axillary arch | <anatomy> An anomalous muscle or tendinus slip that passes across the axilla from the pectoralis major to insert with the latissimus dorsi onto the humerus. Though to be a vestige of the panniculus carnosus muscle of lower mammals. Synonym: axillary arch muscle, axillary arch, pectorodorsal muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axillary arch muscle | <anatomy> An anomalous muscle or tendinus slip that passes across the axilla from the pectoralis major to insert with the latissimus dorsi onto the humerus. Though to be a vestige of the panniculus carnosus muscle of lower mammals. Synonym: axillary arch muscle, axillary arch, pectorodorsal muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Byzantine arch palate | Incomplete fusion of the palatal process with the nasal spine. (05 Mar 2000) |
