(20) If a tear is found, remove all unstable meniscal fragments, leaving a rim, if possible, especially adjacent to the popliteus recess, and then proceed to open cystectomy.
Anticlinal
Definition:
(a.) Inclining or dipping in opposite directions. See Synclinal.
(n.) The crest or line in which strata slope or dip in opposite directions.
Example Sentences:
(1) The Cl'--N1 distance, the chi CN torsion angle and the glycosidic conformation are 1.464 (8) A, -130.0 degrees and -anticlinal for molecule A and 1.506 (8) A, -168.9 degrees and -antiperiplanar for molecule B, respectively.
(2) The PMB foreshadowing the highly curved cell plates in meristemoids I of the mesoperigenous process, as well as in meristemoids I and II of the mesogenous one, are apposed only on one anticlinal wall and therefore do not encircle the nucleus or traverse the cell.
(3) In wild-type leaves the first sign of differentiation of the ligular region is a series of specialized anticlinal divisions in the adaxial epidermis.
(4) By using the technique of time-lapse cinemicrography, we have been able for the first time to directly examine the division planes of 8-cell blastomeres during fourth cleavage, and find that there are three, rather than two, major division plane orientations; anticlinal (perpendicular to the outer surface of the blastomere), periclinal (parallel to the outer surface of the blastomere), and oblique (at an angle between the other two).
(5) This stage ends when a row of cells in the preligule region divides more rapidly in both transverse and longitudinal anticlinal planes.
(6) The liguleless-1 homozygote shows no alteration in this overall pattern of growth, but does show distinct alteration in the anticlinal division pattern in the preligule region.
