What's the difference between antihelix and curved?
Antihelix
Definition:
(n.) The curved elevation of the cartilage of the ear, within or in front of the helix. See Ear.
Example Sentences:

(5) An incision is made through the whole thickness of the cartilage, following the posterior marked linea of the new antihelical fold, from the superior crus to the tail of antihelix.
(6) These lesions usually affect the helix of the ear, although the antihelix and, less commonly, the antitragus may be involved.

(8) Removal of cartilage not needed for structural support before grafting following Mohs surgery on the triangular fossa, antihelix, and concha of the ear decreases the risk of recurrence of the carcinoma, and increases the chances for survival of the graft.
(9) We present a congenital deformity of the right ear, characterized by absence of the central portion of the helix and antihelix.
(10) The results were satisfactory, with a normal-looking fold of antihelix.
(11) The distance relationships obtained from this study were applied not only to the creation of a new antihelix in the first ear but the degree to which the ear projects from the side of the head.
(12) Hypertelorism, full cheeks, posteriorly rotated ears with prominent antihelix, short neck, simian creases, bilateral fifth finger clinodactyly, and short toes with hypoplastic small nails were also present.
(13) Fifty-eight patients with chondrodermatitis nodularis on the antihelix in 24 ears (16 women and eight men) and the helix in 40 ears (six women and 34 men) were studied.
(14) The successful reconstructured auricle should be the result of tackling all components of the deformity, namely, the absence of the antihelix and the aloofing of the concha from the mastoid.
(15) The helix, scaphoid fossa, triangular fossa, concha, antihelix, antitragus, intertragic incisure, and lobule can be seen at the level of the ear.
(16) Clinical examination at 14 years of age revealed a high bulging forehead, broad and flat nasal bridge, large mouth with everted lower lip, folded upper ear helix with protuberant antihelix, pectus excavatum, undescended testes, flat feet, generalized hypotonia and moderate mental retardation.
(17) It is seen less commonly in women and younger individuals, where the anatomic locations may vary to include the antihelix, antitragus, and other areas on the external ear.
(18) In such instances, the thickness of the graft must be considered, ranging from an almost translucent quality for the antihelix to that of a much thicker graft for the helix.
(19) Mustarde's technique and the various anterior scoring methods do not deal with the conchal component of the protruded ear, nor do they give a fully satisfactory formation of the antihelix when one of these methods is used alone.
(20) The antihelix is shaped by two dermosubcutaneous perichondrial flaps; the conchal spring is eased by means of a wedge-shaped cartilage excision in the area of the isthmus of the cartilage or the auricle, while residual protrusion of the lobule is corrected by a Z-plasty.
Curved
Definition:
(imp. & p. p.) of Curve
Example Sentences:
(1) As a consequence, similar response curves were obtained for urine specimens containing morphine or barbiturates.
(2) When the data correlating DHT with protein synthesis using both labelling techniques were combined, the curves were parallel and a strong correlation was noted between DHT and protein synthesis over a wide range of values (P less than 0.001).
(3) These observations were confirmed by the killing curves in pooled serum obtained at peak and trough levels.
(4) However, there was no statistically significant difference in mean areas under the LH and FSH curves in the GnRH-treated groups.
(5) Regression curves indicate that although all three types of pulmonary edema can be characterized by slightly different slopes, the differences are statistically insignificant.
(6) In the cannulated group, significant decreases (P less than 0.05) in the area under the elimination curve (AUC), the volume of distribution at steady-state (Vdss) and the mean residence time (MRT) were observed.
(7) The reproducibility of the killing-curve method suggests that at least two different concentrations should be used and that a decrease in viable counts below 2 log10 after 24 hours does not exclude a synergistic action.
(8) The curve of mitoses peaked at the same time as that of TK activity but was only 68% as extensive.
(9) The effect of these drugs was estimated from the cell growth curve and DNA histogram determined by flow cytometry.
(10) However, there was not a relationship between the contraction curve of the gallbladder and the bile flow into the duodenum.
(11) The total "dose" to the tissue of individual metabolites was determined by the area under the curve (AUC).
(12) However, those studies used partial maximal expiratory flow volume (PMEFV) curves to assess lung function.
(13) Blood gas variables produced from a computed in vivo oxygen dissociation curve, PaeO2, P95 and C(a-x)O2, were introduced in the University Hospital of Wales in 1986.
(14) They were more irregularly curved and consisted of various substances.
