Labyrinthine


Definition:

  • (a.) Pertaining to, or like, a labyrinth; labyrinthal.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Medical treatment has several objectives: the action of water on the metabolism, action on the behaviour of the labyrinthine capillaries and the biology of neurosensorial cells, action on vestibular information and the receptivity of the nerve centres and finally on the patients' lifestyle.
