What's the difference between hamulus and ramulus?
Hamulus
Definition:
(n.) A hook, or hooklike process.
(n.) A hooked barbicel of a feather.
Example Sentences:
(1) After fracture of the pterygoid hamulus, contraction of the TVP muscle produced expansion of the epipharynx but less than that prior to the treatment.
(2) Monocotyle helicophallus new species, Monocotyle multiparous new species and Monocotyle spiremae new species all have a single testis and are distinguished from other described Monocotyle species by size of body and hamulus and number of coils of the sclerotized male copulatory organ (21-22, three to four and 29-42, respectively).
(3) In 20.9% this artery originates from the ulnar artery proximally to the Hamulus ossis hamati and joins the Ramus profundus nervi ulnaris to reach the depth of the palma manus.
(4) Mechanisms of injury reported in the literature include blunt trauma to the hamulus or pisiform, forceful swinging of a grasped object, or a forceful muscular contraction.
(5) After transection of the TVP muscle at the pterygoid hamulus, the contraction of the TVP muscle did not produce any velar movements.
(6) Second, the residual volume of saline with antibiotics, which was put into the ME space 2 to 7 days before, was compared between the side on which tubal ventilatory function was abolished (resection of tensor veli palatini muscle and hamulus pterygoideus) and the opposite, control side.
(7) Isolated fractures of the hamulus, formerly considered rare, are being seen more frequently.
(8) In 74.6% the artery originates distally to the Hamulus ossis hamati and passes the Hypothenar muscles on their radial side to reach the radial artery.
(9) Such x-rays are, in particular: lateral radioulnar x-ray rotated by 10 degrees in volar direction to assess the os triquetrum; lateral radioulnar x-ray in 10-30 degrees supination to visualise the os pisiforme; carpal tunnel x-ray to assess the entire hollow of the hand, in particular the volar parts of os pisiforme, os hamatum (hamulus) and os trapezium.
(10) We propose three radiographic signs of fracture that are readily seen on routine PA projections: "absence" of the hook of the hamate; "sclerosis" of the hook; and lack of cortical density, i.e., a barely visible outline, of the hamulus.
(11) Salsuginus yutanensis is distinguished from previously described species by having a shorter accessory piece and different hamulus proportions, especially in the relative lengths of deep and superficial roots.
(12) Palpation revealed two tender areas bilaterally, overlying the hamulus.
(13) The tensor veli palatini muscle (M-TVP) is connected with the lateral cartilage of the ET and leaves the ET, rounding the pterygoid hamulus before entering the palatal aponeurosis.
(14) In addition, the effect of fracture of the pterygoid hamulus and transection of the TVP muscle at the pterygoid hamulus on velar movements were also investigated.
(15) An anatomic review disclosed the presence of a bursa on the hamulus to protect the tendon of tensor veli palatini.
(16) Failure to visualize the entire hamulus on routine radiographs and conventional carpal tunnel view may contribute to a delayed diagnosis.
(17) Apart from that the demonstration of the lumen, that of the function unit of the tensor palatine muscle, processus pterygoideus and hamulus is also of special interest.
(18) A patient sustained multiple injuries during a road traffic accident, including closed palmar luxation of the lunate together with dislocation of the triquetrum and hamulus of the hamate bone.
(19) We observed a case of compression of the deep branch of the ulnar nerve distal to the piso-hamate hiatus due to an aberrant fibrous band arising from the hamulus ossi hamatum and ending in the flexor digiti minimi muscle.
(20) Twenty-one cases of hamulus fracture are presented.
Ramulus
Definition:
(n.) A small branch, or branchlet, of corals, hydroids, and similar organisms.
Example Sentences:
(1) The author presents 4 of his own observations, illustrating the variety of the manifestations of the blocking of the anterior-medial ramulus--intermittent blocking, combination with blocking of anterior-upper ramulus, blocking in the presence of only septal fibres of the ramulus and blocking with spreading of the fibres also in the anterior-septal region of the left ventricle of heart.
