What's the difference between hyoglossal and hypoglossal?
Hyoglossal
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to or connecting the tongue and hyodean arch; as, the hyoglossal membrane.
(a.) Of or pertaining to the hyoglossus muscle.
Example Sentences:
(1) A technique of closure of the floor of the mouth, based on a series of 68 patients treated by monobloc or "three-dimensional" resection, uses the hyoglossal muscle as a new muscular sling to close the surgical defect.
(2) The various cephalometric anomalies were primarily related to the hyoglossal apparatus, more rarely to the maxillary-mandibular basal bones.
(3) In contrast, excitatory receptive fields of hyoglossal motor units were predominantly contralateral, the molar gingiva being most effective.
(4) Adaptation of deglutition and phonation to these new conditions produces modifications in the tension of the velo-pharyngo-facial and pharyngo-hyoglossal musculo-aponeurotic bands with a tendency to produce more vertical mandibular growth in children.
Hypoglossal
Definition:
(a.) Under the tongue; -- applied esp., in the higher vertebrates, to the twelfth or last pair of cranial nerves, which are distributed to the base of the tongue.
(n.) One of the hypoglossal nerves.
Example Sentences:
(1) hypoglossal nucleus), whereas in other areas the angiotensinogen gene was expressed only in a certain population of glial cells.
(2) The tentative diagnosis "neurinoma of the hypoglossal nerve" was confirmed intraoperatively and histologically.
(3) Seven to 30 days following axotomy the volume of the hypoglossal nucleus was significantly diminished, undoubtedly reflecting dendritic retraction (P less than 0.05).
(4) We determined whether or not administrations of aminophylline would produce differential changes in activities of the hypoglossal nerve and the mylohyoid branch of the trigeminal nerve, compared with phrenic nerve activity.
(5) A marked stenosis extended from the origin of the internal carotid artery to the primitive hypoglossal artery.
(6) The short-latency response of phrenic nerve activity was biphasic, a decrease followed by an increase in activity; the response of hypoglossal nerve activity was monophasic, a transient increase in activity.
(7) Following HFA, hypoglossal-hypoglossal single anastomosis (HHA) and resection of 8-10 mm peripheral hypoglossal nerve in 190 female adult Wistar rats, we compared the axon reactions in the hypoglossal nucleus during 1) regeneration with change of function, 2) regeneration with restoration of original function and 3) degeneration of the nucleus.
(8) Cell areas and the RNA concentration of hypoglossal neurons were determined by the Zeiss Image Scan System.
(9) After undergoing anastomosis of the right hypoglossal and facial nerves, the patient was discharged in good condition.
(10) Immunostaining for ADA was observed only in motoneurons of hypoglossal and facial motor nuclei and only at certain stages during development.
(11) It was shown previously that neuron loss induced by nerve transection in the hypoglossal and facial motor nuclei of female rats could be reduced by long-term testosterone treatment following axotomy.
(12) This was followed by metabolic changes in hypoglossal nerve cells.5.
(13) A case of pseudoaneurysm of the cervical internal carotid artery with associated hypoglossal nerve paralysis resulting from trauma is presented.
(14) Morphometric analyses were performed on serial Nissl sections through the hypoglossal nucleus.
(15) An axolemma-enriched fraction was isolated and characterized from homogenates of brain stem, pooled optic nerve and tract, and sciatic and hypoglossal nerves of adult rabbits.
(16) The lower brain stem with the hypoglossal nuclei was removed and sectioned in a cryostat.
(17) Thus, the delayed maturation of dendritic spines seen in the reticular formation and vagal nuclei is not present in motor neurons of the cervical anterior horn and hypoglossal nucleus.
(18) Enlargement of the hypoglossal canal with preservation of its cortical margin is described as a normal variant when a persistent hypoglossal artery is present.
(19) The number of motor neurons and interneurons in the hypoglossal nucleus was estimated in mice aged 6, 15, 25, 28 and 31 months.
(20) Transient astrocytic hypertrophy occurred in the uninjured right hypoglossal nucleus, and had a different time course to the changes occurring on the injured side.7.
