| vaginal process of peritoneum | A peritoneal diverticulum in the embryonic lower anterior abdominal wall that traverses the inguinal canal; in the male it forms the tunica vaginalis testis and normally loses its connection with the peritoneal cavity; a persistent processus vaginalis in the female is known as the canal of Nuck. Synonym: Nuck's diverticulum, processus vaginalis peritonei, vaginal process of peritoneum, vaginal process of testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| vaginal process of sphenoid bone | A thin lamina of bone that extends medially under the body of the sphenoid bone from the medial lamina of the pterygoid process; it articulates with the vomer and the palatine bone. Synonym: processus vaginalis ossis sphenoidalis, sheath process of sphenoid bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vaginal process of testis | A peritoneal diverticulum in the embryonic lower anterior abdominal wall that traverses the inguinal canal; in the male it forms the tunica vaginalis testis and normally loses its connection with the peritoneal cavity; a persistent processus vaginalis in the female is known as the canal of Nuck. Synonym: Nuck's diverticulum, processus vaginalis peritonei, vaginal process of peritoneum, vaginal process of testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| packing process | The method of placing denture base material in a flask for processing. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palatine process | In the embryo, medially directed shelves from the oral surface of the maxillae; they develop into the secondary palate after midline fusion. Synonym: processus palatinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malar process | The rough projection from the maxilla that articulates with the zygomatic bone. Synonym: malar process, processus zygomaticus maxillae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gas shift process | A process in which carbon monoxide and hydrogen react in the presence of a catalyst to form methane and water. (05 Dec 1998) |
| papillary process | The left lower angle of the caudate lobe of the liver, opposite the caudate process. Synonym: processus papillaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mamillary process | A small apophysis or tubercle on the dorsal margin of the superior articular process of each of the lumbar vertebrae and usually of the twelfth thoracic vertebra. Synonym: processus mamillaris, mamillary tubercle, metapophysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Rau's process | A slender spur running anteriorward from the neck of the malleus toward the petrotympanic fissure. Synonym: processus anterior mallei, Folli's process, follian process, long process of malleus, processus gracilis, processus ravii, Rau's process, Ravius' process, slender process of malleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ravius' process | A slender spur running anteriorward from the neck of the malleus toward the petrotympanic fissure. Synonym: processus anterior mallei, Folli's process, follian process, long process of malleus, processus gracilis, processus ravii, Rau's process, Ravius' process, slender process of malleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paramastoid process | An occasional process of bone extending downward from the jugular process of the occipital bone in humans. Synonym: processus paramastoideus, paroccipital process. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vermiform process | A wormlike intestinal diverticulum extending from the blind end of the caecum; it varies in length and ends in a blind extremity. Synonym: appendix vermiformis, appendix ceci, processus vermiformis, vermiform appendage, vermiform process, vermix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Markov process | A stochastic process in which the probability of an event in the future is not affected by the past history of events. (18 Nov 1997) |
| paroccipital process | An occasional process of bone extending downward from the jugular process of the occipital bone in humans. Synonym: processus paramastoideus, paroccipital process. (05 Mar 2000) |
