| external occipital crest | A ridge extending from the external occipital protuberance to the border of the foramen magnum. Synonym: crista occipitalis externa, linea nuchae mediana. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| external occipital protuberance | A prominence about the centre of the outer surface of the squamous portion of the occipital bone, giving attachment to the ligamentum nuchae. Synonym: protuberantia occipitalis externa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral occipital artery | <anatomy, artery> One of the terminal branches of the posterior cerebral artery; it supplies, by several named branches, the lateral portions of the temporal lobe. Synonym: arteria occipitalis lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral occipital sulcus | One of several variable sulci on the lateral aspect of the occipital lobe of each cerebral hemisphere, bounding the lateral occipital convolutions. Synonym: sulcus occipitalis lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fronto-occipital | Relating to the frontal and the occipital bones, or to the forehead and the occiput. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fronto-occipital fasciculus | A bundle of association fibres extending from the frontal to the occipital lobes of the cerebrum. Synonym: fasciculus occipitofrontalis, fronto-occipital fasciculus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lesser occipital nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the ventral primary rami of the second and third cervical nerves; supplies the skin of the posterior surface of the auricle and the adjacent portion of the scalp. Posterior to the auricle. Synonym: nervus occipitalis minor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ABC process | Purification of water or deodorization of sewage by a mixture of alum, blood, and charcoal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory process | A small apophysis at the posterior part of the base of the transverse process of each of the lumbar vertebrae. Synonym: processus accessorius, accessory tubercle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acromial process | <anatomy> The lateral triangular projection of the spine of the scapula that forms the point of the shoulder and articulates with the clavicle. (27 Sep 1997) |
| activated sludge process | <procedure> A method of treating sewage and wastewater through microbial oxidation. Sewage previously treated in settling tanks is aerated to encourage the growth of nonpathogenic aerobic microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts, moulds and protozoans) which break the organic matter down into carbon dioxide, water and simple salts. After this activated sludge is produced, the wastewater undergoes further processing through anaerobic digestion, filtering and chlorination. (29 Dec 1997) |
| adiabatic process | <chemistry> A process in which the system does not exchange heat with the surroundings. (15 Jan 1998) |
| agene process | Bleaching of flour with nitrogen trichloride (prohibited in the United States). (05 Mar 2000) |
| alar process | A small lateral expansion of the ethmoid bone from the front of the crista galli on each side that articulates with the frontal bone and forms the foramen caecum. Synonym: ala cristae galli, alar process. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar process | That portion of bone in either the maxilla or the mandible which surrounds and supports the teeth. (12 Dec 1998) |
