(n.) The vertebral column; the spinous process of a vertebra.
Example Sentences:
(1) The internal surface of the proventriculus is represented by numerous acanthae which fall close together.

Spinous
Definition:
(a.) Spinose; thorny.
(a.) Having the form of a spine or thorn; spinelike.
Example Sentences:
(1) In the advanced papilloma, cytolytic cells in the outer spinous and the granular layers did not stain positively with any of the three antibodies used.
(2) A sequential increase in basal cell density, numbers of spinous cells and of granular cells indicates a transit time of about 20 h through the nucleated cell layers of regenerating epidermal cells.
(3) A radiologic-pathologic correlative investigation of the normal age-related alterations in the spinous processes and intervening soft tissues was performed using cadaveric spines and both ancient and modern macerated vertebral specimens.
(4) In case of epithelial dysplasia, there was reduced KL1 staining in spinous cells and decreased PKK1 staining in the basal and parabasal layers.
(5) Using peripheral nerve stimulation, spinal evoked potentials (SEPs) are recorded from cancellous bone of spinous processes.
(6) However, lesions with epithelial dysplasia showed H antigen on all spinous cells, and often also on basal cells, with expression of Lex and Ley restricted to the most superficial part of the epithelium above the H-positive cell layers.
(7) A special traction apparatus with wires through the spinous processes of L3 and L4 is used to accomplish reduction of the olisthetic vertebra.
(8) Other factors of importance were: an increase in the anterior depth of the mandible; a reduction in the distance between the occiput and the spinous process of C1, and to a lesser extent the C1-C2 interspinous gap; and reduced mobility of the mandible associated with temporo-mandibular joint arthritis or trismus.
(9) Dopamine is the transmitter of the axo-spinous synapses of the nigrostriatal neurons with the small striatal nerve cells for which the transmitter seems to be Acetylcholine.
(10) Results of posttraumatic spine fusions in 34 patients who had autogenous iliac crest grafts were compared with those of 70 patients who had autogenous spinous process grafts.
(11) Light and electron microscope studies on normal and experimental material in the lateral superior olive (LSO) of cat revealed the presence of three types of neurons: (i) fusiform cells characterized by the large number of terminals articulating with them and projecting to the nuclei of the lateral lemniscus (NLL) and central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (CNIC) (ii) marginal cells embedded in the neuropil of the fibrous capsule and sharing input and output characteristics with the fusiform neurons (iii) multipolar cells with spinous dendrites, local axonal spread and synaptic relation restricted to few afferents only.
(12) The dislocation was as common at only one level as at two more levels and was more severe if the height of the spinous process was reduced.
(13) Connections by spinous processes are observed between adjacent muscle cells along their length.
(14) The relative amounts of glycosphingolipid (glucosylceramide) and cholesteryl sulfate in the total lipids of stratum corneum cells were less than half those in the granular cells and basal and spinous cells.
(15) There were four types of synapses in the marginal division: axo-somatic, axo-dendritic, axo-spinous and axo-axonic.
(16) The dendrites of these neurons were spinous and branched within layers I, IV, and V. Their axons arborized within layers IV, V, and VI and some collaterals extended laterally for distances up to 2.6 mm from the cell body.
(17) Patients treated with spinous process wires were braced, those without were casted.
(18) Grouped patches of spinous papules are seen involving the elbows, knees, and buttocks.
(19) This finding may account for the fact that there are subregional and compartmental differences in susceptibility of the medium-sized spinous neurons in the putamen with SND.
(20) The major differentiation step occurs between basal and lower spinous layers.
