| angle of incidence | <optics> The angle that a ray entering a refracting medium makes with a line drawn perpendicular to the surface of this medium, the angle that a ray striking a reflecting surface makes with a line perpendicular to this surface. Synonym: incident angle. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| angle of inclination | <orthopaedics> The angle formed by the meeting of a line drawn through the shaft of the femur with one passing through the long axis of the femoral neck; normally it is about 127 |
| angle of iris | The acute angle between the iris and the cornea at the periphery of the anterior chamber of the eye. Synonym: angulus iridocornealis, angle of iris, angulus iridis, filtration angle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angle of jaw | <anatomy> The angle formed by the lower margin of the body and the posterior margin of the ramus of the mandible. Synonym: angulus mandibulae, angle of jaw. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angle of mandible | <anatomy> The angle formed by the lower margin of the body and the posterior margin of the ramus of the mandible. Synonym: angulus mandibulae, angle of jaw. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angle of mouth | <anatomy> The lateral limit of the oral fissure. See: labial commissure. Synonym: angulus oris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angle of polarization | <optics> The angle of incidence at which the reflected light is all polarised. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angle of reflection | <optics> The angle that a ray reflected from a surface makes with a line drawn perpendicular to this surface. It is equal to the angle of incidence. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angle of refraction | <optics> The angle that a ray leaving a refracting medium makes with a line drawn perpendicular to the surface of this medium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angle of repose | The maximum angle of slope (measured from horizontal plane) at which loose, cohesionless material will come to rest on a pile of similar material. (09 Oct 1997) |
| angle of torsion | The amount of rotation of a long bone along its axis or between two axes, measured in degrees. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anorectal angle | The angle formed by the junction of the rectum with the anus; may be important in maintenance of continence. Synonym: perineal flexure of rectum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical angle | The angle between two plane surfaces of a prism. Synonym: refracting angle of a prism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axial angle | An angle formed by two surfaces of a body, the line of union of which is parallel with its axis; the axial angle's of a tooth are the distobuccal, distolabial, distolingual, mesiobuccal, mesiolabial, and mesiolingual. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basilar angle | An angle formed by the intersection at the basion of lines coming from the nasal spine and the nasal point. (05 Mar 2000) |
