| FLASH | Fast Low Angle SHot |
| gamma angle | <ophthalmology> The angle formed between a line joining the fixation point to the centre of the eye and the optic axis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| malocclusion, angle class I | Malocclusion in which the mandible and maxilla are anteroposteriorly normal as reflected by the relationship of the first permanent molar (i.e., in neutroclusion), but in which individual teeth are abnormally related to each other. (12 Dec 1998) |
| malocclusion, angle class II | Malocclusion in which the mandible is posterior to the maxilla as reflected by the relationship of the first permanent molar (distoclusion). (12 Dec 1998) |
| malocclusion, angle class III | Malocclusion in which the mandible is anterior to the maxilla as reflected by the first relationship of the first permanent molar (mesioclusion). (12 Dec 1998) |
| Ranke's angle | The angle formed by the horizontal plane of the head and a line passing from the centre of the margin of the alveolar arch of the maxilla, below the nasal spine to the centre of the frontonasal suture. Origin: J. Ranke (05 Mar 2000) |
| venous angle | The junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins, toward which converge the external and the anterior jugular and the vertebral veins, the thoracic duct in the left angle and the right lymphatic duct in the right angle. Synonym: Pirogoff's angle. In neuroradiology, the angle of union of the superior thalamostriate vein (vena terminalis) with the internal cerebral vein, usually closely behind the interventricular foramen of Monro. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal angle | An angle formed by the meeting of the prolongation of two lines tangential to the most prominent part of the zygomatic arch and to the parietofrontal suture on each side; when the lines remain parallel the angle is zero; when they diverge it is negative. Synonym: Quatrefages' angle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carrying angle | The angle made by the axes of the arm and the forearm, with the elbow in full extension. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mastoid angle of parietal bone | The posteroinferior point of the parietal bone. Synonym: angulus mastoideus ossis parietalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| maxillary angle | The angle formed by a line drawn from the ophryon and another from the point of the mandible and meeting at the contact between the upper and lower incisor teeth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| refracting angle of a prism | The angle between two plane surfaces of a prism. Synonym: refracting angle of a prism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| refraction, angle of | <microscopy> The acute angle between the normal to a refracting surface at the point of incidence, and the refracted ray. (05 Aug 1998) |
| glaucoma, angle-closure | A form of glaucoma in which the intraocular pressure increases because the angle of the anterior chamber is blocked and the aqueous humor cannot drain from the anterior chamber. (12 Dec 1998) |
| glaucoma, open-angle | Glaucoma in which the angle of the anterior chamber is open and the trabecular meshwork does not encroach on the base of the iris. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cavity line angle | In dentistry, the angle formed by two walls of a cavity, e.g., a tooth cavity, meeting along a line. (05 Mar 2000) |
