| denture space | That portion of the oral cavity which is, or may be, occupied by maxillary and/or mandibular denture(s), the space between the residual ridges which is available for dentures. See: interarch distance. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Disse's space | The potential extravascular space between the liver sinusoids and liver parenchymal cells. Synonym: Disse's space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| image space | <microscopy> The space about an optical system each point of which is conjugate to some point in the object space. (05 Aug 1998) |
| quadrangular space | Musculotendinous formation providing passageway for the axillary nerve, posterior humeral circumflex artery and accompanying veins as they run from the axilla to the superior posterior arm; as the neurovascular structures enter the formation anteriorly, it is bounded superiorly by the shoulder joint, medially by the lateral border of subscapularis, laterally by the surgical neck of the humerus, and inferiorly by the tendon of latissimus dorsi; as the vessels exit the formation posteriorly, it is bounded superiorly by the teres minor, medially by the long head of the triceps, laterally by the lateral head of the triceps and inferiorly by the teres major muscle or tendon; as they emerge, most of the neurovascular structures run on the deep surface of the deltoid muscle, which they supply. Synonym: quadrilateral space. (05 Mar 2000) |

| interglobular space | One of a number of irregularly branched spaces near the periphery of the dentin of the crown of a tooth, through which pass the ramifications of the tubules; they are caused by failure of calcification of the dentin. Synonym: spatium interglobulare, interglobular space of Owen. (05 Mar 2000) |
