Abaxial


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Abaxile

Example Sentences:

  • (12) Injection into the distal carpal joints can occur when deep injections are made into the proximal palmar aspect of the metacarpus because of the distopalmar outpouchings of the carpometacarpal joint between the axial surfaces of the second and fourth metacarpal bones and the abaxial surface of the suspensory ligament.
  • (13) Radiographic findings in the abaxial surface of the proximal sesamoid bones were classified into 3 types according to the severity of lesions, and correlation was made with clinical findings at time of examination.

Eccentric


Definition:

  • (a.) Deviating or departing from the center, or from the line of a circle; as, an eccentric or elliptical orbit; pertaining to deviation from the center or from true circular motion.
  • (a.) Not having the same center; -- said of circles, ellipses, spheres, etc., which, though coinciding, either in whole or in part, as to area or volume, have not the same center; -- opposed to concentric.
  • (a.) Pertaining to an eccentric; as, the eccentric rod in a steam engine.
  • (a.) Not coincident as to motive or end.
  • (a.) Deviating from stated methods, usual practice, or established forms or laws; deviating from an appointed sphere or way; departing from the usual course; irregular; anomalous; odd; as, eccentric conduct.
  • (n.) A circle not having the same center as another contained in some measure within the first.
  • (n.) One who, or that which, deviates from regularity; an anomalous or irregular person or thing.
  • (n.) In the Ptolemaic system, the supposed circular orbit of a planet about the earth, but with the earth not in its center.
  • (n.) A circle described about the center of an elliptical orbit, with half the major axis for radius.
  • (n.) A disk or wheel so arranged upon a shaft that the center of the wheel and that of the shaft do not coincide. It is used for operating valves in steam engines, and for other purposes. The motion derived is precisely that of a crank having the same throw.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Periosteal chondroma is an uncommon benign cartilagenous lesion, and its importance lies primarily in its characteristic radiographic and pathologic appearance which should be of assistance in the differential diagnosis of eccentric lesions of bones.

  • (4) • Gaddafi's many eccentricities, including phobias about flying over water and staying above ground floor level.
  • (5) These data suggest that older adults experience greater muscle damage following eccentric exercise than young subjects, which may be due in part to the smaller muscle mass and lower VO2max seen in older men.
