| longitudinal sinus | See: inferior sagittal sinus, superior sagittal sinus. Longitudinal vertebral venous sinus, large, plexiform veins forming portions of the anterior internal vertebral venous plexus lying on the posterior surfaces of the vertebral bodies on either side of the posterior longitudinal ligament. Synonym: sinus vertebrales longitudinales. Luschka's sinus, venous sinus in the petrosquamous suture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| longitudinal studies | Studies in which variables relating to an individual or group of individuals are assessed over a period of time. (12 Dec 1998) |

If individuals are not followed, but classes (usually age classes) are restudied, this is a longitudinal cross-sectional study. The converse of a horizontal study. (05 Dec 1998) |

| longitudinal wave | <physics> Waves where the variation of the field is partially or totally in the direction of propagation (parallel to wavennumber, k [a vector]). Examples include sound waves and Langmuir waves. Contrasted with transverse waves, where the variation is perpendicular to the direction of propagation, such as light waves. (13 Nov 1997) |
