| antecubital space | The fossa in front of the elbow, bounded laterally and medially by the humeral origins of the extensors and flexors of the forearm, respectively, and superiorly by an imaginary line connecting the humeral condyles. Synonym: fossa cubitalis, antecubital space, chelidon, triangle of elbow. (05 Mar 2000) |

| anterior clear space | On lateral chest radiographs, the region dorsal to the sternum and ventral to the ascending aorta. Synonym: anterior clear space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical space | The space between the alveolar wall and the apex of the root of a tooth where an alveolar abscess usually has its origin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axillary space | <anatomy> The underarm area. (16 Dec 1997) |
| Berger's space | The space between the patellar fossa of the vitreous and the lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bogros' space | A triangular space between the peritoneum and the transversalis fascia, at the lower angle of which is the inguinal ligament; it contains the lower portion of the external iliac artery. Synonym: Bogros' space, spatium retroinguinale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bottcher's space | The blind pouch at the end of the endolymphatic duct. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Bowman's space | The slitlike space between the visceral and parietal layers of the capsule of the renal corpuscle; it opens into the proximal tubule of the nephron at the neck of the tubule. Synonym: Bowman's space, filtration space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Burns' space | A narrow interval between the deep and superficial layers of the cervical fascia above the manubrium of the sternum through which pass the anterior jugular veins. Synonym: Burns' space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capsular space | The slitlike space between the visceral and parietal layers of the capsule of the renal corpuscle; it opens into the proximal tubule of the nephron at the neck of the tubule. Synonym: Bowman's space, filtration space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Malacarne's space | The bottom of the interpeduncular fossa at the base of the midbrain, extending from the anterior border of the pons forward to the mamillary bodies, and containing numerous openings for the passage of perforating branches of the posterior cerebral arteries. Synonym: substantia perforata posterior, locus perforatus posticus, Malacarne's space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| velocity space | <radiobiology> Mathematical space where each point corresponds not to a certain location in reality, but to a certain velocity. Distribution functions typically involve mixes of both position and velocity spaces. (See distribution function.) Contrast with position space where each point corresponds to a given location. (09 Oct 1997) |
| velocity space instability | <radiobiology> A class of instabilities driven by particle distributions (in velocity space) which are not in thermal equilibrium. (09 Oct 1997) |
| parapharyngeal space | The space limited by the lateral wall of the pharynx, the cervical vertebrae, and the medial pterygoid muscle. Synonym: parapharyngeal space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertebral epidural space | Single-layered strong membrane, comparable to and continuous with (at foramen magnum) the meningeal layer of the intracranial dura mater of the brain. It does not (in contrast to the dura mater of brain) adhere to the enveloping bony structures (vertebrae) or their periosteum, being separated from the latter by a considerable space, the vertebral epidural space-a true space containing the internal vertebral venous plexus embedded in a matrix of epidural fat. Synonym: dura mater spinalis, endorrhachis, theca vertebralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
