| far point | That point in conjugate focus with the retina when the eye is not accommodating. Synonym: punctum remotum. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| far point of convergence | The point to which the visual lines are directed when convergence is at rest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| far point of eye | <microscopy> For the normal eye, the far point is at infinity. The rays of light from an infinitely distant point source are parallel and can be focused with the accommodation muscles of the eye entirely relaxed. See: accommodation, near point of the eye. (05 Aug 1998) |
| zygomaxillary point | A craniometric point located externally at the lowest extent of the zygomaticomaxillary suture. Synonym: key ridge, zygomaxillary point. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flash point | The lowest temperature at which vapors of a liquid may be ignited by a flame. (05 Mar 2000) |
| focal point | Location of an organism, for fish, usually the position of the snout. Habitat measurements made at that position (depth, water velocity, etc.) are focal point measurements. (09 Oct 1997) |
| freezing point | <physics> The temperature at which a liquid solidifies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leak point pressure | Storage pressure in bladder at which leakage occurs passively, usually in patients with neuropathic bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fusing point | See: fusion temperature (wire method). (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) |
| acute primary haemorrhagic meningoencephalitis | A disease characterised by acute onset of fever, followed by convulsions, delirium, and coma, and associated with perivascular demyelination and haemorrhagic foci in the central nervous system. Synonym: acute primary haemorrhagic meningoencephalitis, Strumpell's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acyclic monoterpene primary alcohol - NADP oxidoreductase | <enzyme> From catmint nepeta racemosa; involved in the biosynthesis of iridoid monoterpenes; oxidises geraniol, nerol, and their 10-hydroxy derivatives in the presence of nadp(+). Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: monoterpene primary alcohol - nadp oxidoreductase, ampano (26 Jun 1999) |
| anterior primary division | <anatomy, nerve> The larger, anterolaterally-directed major terminal branch (with the dorsal primary ramus) of all 31 pairs of mixed spinal nerves, formed at the intervertebral foramen. Most ventral primary rami, especially those involved in the innervation of the limbs, participate in the formation of the major nerve plexuses (cervical, brachial, and lumbosacral) and lose their identities. Most in the thoracic region, however, remain separate from adjacent rami to become the intercostal and subcostal nerves. Ventral primary rami provide innervation to the anterolateral body wall and trunk. Nomina Anatomica lists ventral primary rami as "rami ventrales" for each group of spinal nerves: 1) cervical (nervorum cervicalium ), 2) thoracic (nervorum thoracicorum ), 3) lumbar (nervorum lumbalium ), 4) sacral (nervorum sacralium )m, and 5) coccygeal (nervi coccygei ). Synonym: ramus ventralis nervi spinalis, anterior primary division. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aphasia, primary progressive | A type of aphasia appearing gradually and gradually worsening without any major change in other cognitive functions. It is regarded by some authors as a syndrome which may be due to various degenerative diseases of the cerebral cortex (notably alzheimer disease, owing to its frequency), while others see in it an autonomous disease related to a neuropathological process that is distinct from the main degenerative dementias. The principal clinical peculiarity of primary progressive aphasia is that it spares the patient's autonomy for a long time, but ultimately turns into global dementia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ventral primary rami of cervical spinal nerves | See: ventral primary ramus of spinal nerve. Synonym: rami ventrales nervorum cervicalium. (05 Mar 2000) |
