| Lower's ring | One of four fibrous rings that surround atrioventricular and arterial orifices of the heart, providing attachment for the valve leaflets and maintaining patency of the orifice. As part of the fibrous skeleton of the heart, the fibrous rings also provide origin and insertion for the myocardium. Synonym: annulus fibrosus cordis, annulus fibrosus, coronary tendon, fibrous ring, Lower's ring. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Lower's tubercle | The slight projection on the wall of the right atrium between the orifices of the venae cavae. Synonym: tuberculum intervenosum, Lower's tubercle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lower uterine segment | The inferior portion or isthmus of the uterus, the lower extremity of which joins with the cervical canal and, during pregnancy, expands to become the lower part of the uterine cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lower uterine segment cesarean section | A cesarean section in which the uterus is entered in its lower segment by a transperitoneal approach. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar point | The most anterior point on the maxillary alveolar process in the midline. Synonym: alveolar point, prostheon. Origin: G. Ntr. Of prosthios, foremost (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior focal point | The point where parallel rays from the retina are focused. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apophysial point | The centre of the root of the anterior nasal spine. Synonym: apophysary point, apophysial point, spinal point. (05 Mar 2000) |

| boiling point elevation | This is the phenomenon of increasing the temperature at which a liquid boils by dissolving another substance in the liquid (for example: you can raise the temperature at which water boils by adding salt to it). (09 Oct 1997) |
| Cannon's point | The location in the mid-transverse colon at which innervation by superior and inferior mesenteric plexuses overlap at the junction of the primitive midgut and hindgut, frequently resulting in narrowing evident on barium enema.
