| superior internal parietal artery | <anatomy, artery> The largest cortical branch of the pericallosal artery supplying the medial and superolateral surface of the parietal lobe posterior to the paracentral lobule; rarely does it extend to supply part of the occipital lobe. Synonym: arteria parieto-occipitalis, superior internal parietal artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| superior parietal gyrus | The area of the convex surface of the parietal lobe of the cerebrum lying between the longitudinal fissure and the interparietal sulcus behind the posterior central gyrus; it is continuous with the precuneus on the medial aspect of the hemisphere. Synonym: lobulus parietalis superior, superior parietal gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior parietal lobule | The area of the convex surface of the parietal lobe of the cerebrum lying between the longitudinal fissure and the interparietal sulcus behind the posterior central gyrus; it is continuous with the precuneus on the medial aspect of the hemisphere. Synonym: lobulus parietalis superior, superior parietal gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior internal parietal artery | <anatomy, artery> The last cortical branch of the pericallosal artery; it supplies the inferior part of the precuneus. Synonym: arteria precunealis, inferior internal parietal artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior parietal gyrus | The area of the parietal lobe of the cerebrum lying below the interparietal sulcus; it contains the angular and the supramarginal gyri. Synonym: lobulus parietalis inferior, inferior parietal gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior parietal lobule | The area of the parietal lobe of the cerebrum lying below the interparietal sulcus; it contains the angular and the supramarginal gyri. Synonym: lobulus parietalis inferior, inferior parietal gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| isolated parietal endocarditis | Fibrous thickening of the endocardium of the left ventricle without valvular involvement. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Loffler's parietal fibroplastic endocarditis | Sclerosis of the endocardium in the presence of a high eosinophile count. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acromial angle | The prominent angle at the junction of the posterior and lateral borders of the acromion. Synonym: angulus acromialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute angle | Any angle less than 90 |
| acute angle closure glaucoma | <ophthalmology> An increase in pressure within the anterior chamber of the eye. There are two forms of glaucoma: acute angle closure and open angle glaucoma. (27 Sep 1997) |
| adjacent angle | An angle with a line in common with another angle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alpha angle | The angle between the visual and optic axes as they cross at the nodal point of the eye, the angle between the visual line and the major axis of the corneal ellipse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar angle | The angle between the horizontal plane and a line connecting the base of the nasal spine and the middle point of the projection of the alveolus of the maxilla. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angle | 1. To fish with an angle (fishhook), or with hook and line. 2. <geometry> The figure made by two lines which meet. The difference of direction of two lines. In the lines meet, the point of meeting is the vertex of the angle. 3. A projecting or sharp corner; an angular fragment. "Though but an angle reached him of the stone." (Dryden) Curvilineal angle, one formed by two curved lines. External angles, angles formed by the sides of any right-lined figure, when the sides are produced or lengthened. Internal angles, those which are within any right-lined figure. Mixtilineal angle, one formed by a right line with a curved line. Oblique angle, one acute or obtuse, in opposition to a right angle. Obtuse angle, one greater than a right angle, or more than 90 deg . Rectilineal or Right-lined angle, one formed by two right lines. Right angle, one formed by a right line falling on another perpendicularly, or an angle of 90 deg (measured by a quarter circle). Solid angle, the figure formed by the meeting of three or more plane angles at one point. Spherical angle, one made by the meeting of two arcs of great circles, which mutually cut one another on the surface of a globe or sphere. Visual angle, the angle formed by two rays of light, or two straight lines drawn from the extreme points of an object to the center of the eye. 4. <astronomy> A name given to four of the twelve astrological houses.
