| segmental alveolar osteotomy | An intraoral surgical procedure in which segments of alveolar bone containing teeth are sectioned between, and apically to, the teeth for the repositioning of the alveolus and teeth; it may be maxillary or mandibular, and may be combined with ostectomy. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| pulmonary alveolar proteinosis | <radiology> Overproduction of surfactant which can lead to alveolar (end-air-space) filling, peak age: 20 - 50 yrs, 33% asymptomatic, treatment: lavage Findings: bat-wing alveolar infiltrate, no interstitial disease, no adenopathy (12 Dec 1998) |
| squamous alveolar cells | Highly attentuated squamous cell's that form the gas-permeable epithelium lining the alveoli of the lungs. Synonym: type I cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ideal alveolar gas | The uniform composition of gas that would exist in all alveoli for a given total respiratory exchange if all alveoli had identical ventilation-perfusion ratios and achieved perfect equilibrium with the blood leaving the pulmonary capillaries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior alveolar artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, 1st part of maxillary artery; distribution, through mandibular foramen/canal to lower teeth and chin; branches, artery to mylohyoid, mental artery, dental arteries. Synonym: arteria alveolaris inferior, inferior dental artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior alveolar nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of the terminal branches of the mandibular, it enters the mandibular canal to be distributed to the lower teeth, periosteum, and gingiva of the mandible; a branch, the mental nerve, passes through the mental foramen to supply the skin and mucosa of the lower lip and chin. Synonym: nervus alveolaris inferior, inferior dental nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intra-alveolar septa | The bony partitions that project into the alveoli between the roots of the molar teeth. Synonym: septa interradicularia, intra-alveolar septa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral alveolar abscess | An alveolar abscess located along the lateral root surface of a tooth. Synonym: pericemental abscess. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lower alveolar point | In craniometrics, the apex of the septum between the mandibular central incisors. Synonym: lower alveolar point. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory cephalic vein | <anatomy, vein> A variable vein that passes along the radial border of the forearm to join the cephalic vein near the elbow. Synonym: vena cephalica accessoria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory hemiazygos vein | <anatomy, vein> Formed by the union of the fourth to seventh left posterior intercostal veins, passes along the side of the bodies of the fifth, sixth, and seventh thoracic vertebrae, then crosses the midline behind the aorta, oesophagus, and thoracic duct, and empties into the azygos vein, sometimes in common with the hemiazygos vein. Synonym: vena hemiazygos accessoria, vena azygos minor superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory saphenous vein | <anatomy, vein> An occasional vein running in the thigh parallel to the great saphenous vein which it joins just before the latter empties into the femoral vein. Synonym: vena saphena accessoria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory vertebral vein | <anatomy, vein> A vein that accompanies the vertebral vein but passes through the foramen of the transverse process of the seventh cervical vertebra and opens independently into the brachiocephalic vein. Synonym: vena vertebralis accessoria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accompanying vein | A vein accompanying another structure. Synonym: accompanying vein, companion vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accompanying vein of hypoglossal nerve | Runs with the hypoglossal nerve below and lateral to the hyoglossus muscle, emptying usually into the lingual vein. Synonym: accompanying vein of hypoglossal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
