| intermediate vein of forearm | It begins at the base of the dorsum of the thumb, curves around the radial side, ascends the middle of the forearm, and just below the bend of the elbow divides into the intermediate basilic and intermediate cephalic veins; sometimes it divides lower down, one branch going to the basilic vein, the other to the intermediate vein of the elbow. Synonym: vena intermedia antebrachii, intermediate antebrachial vein, intermediate vein of forearm, median vein of forearm, vena mediana antebrachii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transition state intermediate | In a chemical reaction, an unstable and high-energy configuration assumed by reactants on the way to making products. Enzymes are thought to bindand stabilise the transition state, thus lowering the energy of activation needed to drive the reaction to completion. (09 Oct 1997) |
| uveitis, intermediate | Inflammation of the pars plana, ciliary body, and adjacent structures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, intermediate-grade | One of the three major prognostic groupings for non-hodgkin lymphomas as proposed in the working formulation of the non-hodgkin's lymphoma pathologic classification project sponsored by the national cancer institute (1981). Lymphomas falling within this group have an intermediate survival potential. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Aeby's plane | In craniometry, a plane perpendicular to the median plane of the cranium, cutting the nasion and the basion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aperture plane | <microscopy> In a microscope adjusted for Koehler illumination, the conjugate planes that include the light source, the condenser iris diaphragm, the objective lens back aperture, and the eye point. Spaces in the aperture planes are the reciprocal of those in the field planes. (05 Aug 1998) |
| auriculo-infraorbital plane | A standard craniometric reference plane passing through the right and left porion and the left orbitale; drawn on the profile radiograph or photograph from the superior margin of the acoustic meatus to the orbitale. Synonym: auriculo-infraorbital plane, eye-ear plane, Frankfort horizontal plane, Frankfort plane, infraorbitomeatal plane. (05 Mar 2000) |

| axiomesiodistal plane | A plane parallel to the long axes of the teeth and extending in a mesiodistal direction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| back focal plane | <microscopy> The plane, normal to the lens axis, situated at the back focus of a lens. (05 Aug 1998) |
| bite plane | <dentistry> A removable appliance made of acrylic designed to open a deep bite. See: occlusal plane. (06 Mar 2000) |
| Bolton-Broadbent plane | A roentgenographic cephalometric plane extending from the Bolton point to nasion. Synonym: Bolton-Broadbent plane, Bolton-nasion line, Bolton-nasion plane. (05 Mar 2000) |
