| equatorial | <astronomy> An instrument consisting of a telescope so mounted as to have two axes of motion at right angles to each other, one of them parallel to the axis of the earth, and each carrying a graduated circle, the one for measuring declination, and the other right ascension, or the hour angle, so that the telescope may be directed, even in the daytime, to any star or other object whose right ascension and declination are known. The motion in right ascension is sometimes communicated by clockwork, so as to keep the object constantly in the field of the telescope. Called also an equatorial telescope. The term equatorial, or equatorial instrument, is sometimes applied to any astronomical instrument which has its principal axis of rotation parallel to the axis of the earth.

| amniotic fold | A fold of amniotic membrane enclosing the yolk stalk and extending from the point of insertion of the umbilical cord to the yolk sac; in reptiles and birds it is the reflected edge of the amnion where it folds over to cover the embryo during early development. Synonym: Schultze's fold. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior axillary fold | Bounds axilla anteriorly; formed by skin and fascia overlying inferior border of pectoralis major muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aryepiglottic fold | A prominent fold of mucous membrane stretching between the lateral margin of the epiglottis and the arytenoid cartilage on either side; it encloses the aryepiglottic muscle. Synonym: plica aryepiglottica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axillary fold | One of the folds of skin and muscular tissue bounding the axilla anteriorly and posteriorly. Synonym: plica axillaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palpebronasal fold | A fold of skin that comes down across the inner angle of the eye. The epicanthal fold is more common in children with Down syndrome and other birth defects than normal children and so is of value in diagnosis. Although some dictionaries state that this eye fold is found in peoples of Asian origin, this is not true. The normal Asian eyefold is continuous with the lower edge of the upper eyelid and actually appears distinctly different than a true epicanthal fold. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vascular fold of the caecum | <anatomy> A peritoneal fold that arches over a branch of the ileocolic artery and bounds in front a narrow recess, the superior ileocaecal (or ileocolic) recess. Synonym: plica caecalis vascularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
