What's the difference between jugum and ridge?

Jugum


Definition:

  • (n.) One of the ridges commonly found on the fruit of umbelliferous plants.
  • (n.) A pair of the opposite leaflets of a pinnate plant.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The locations of the meningiomas were: convexity 13, parasagittal 6, falx 2, pterion (sphenoid ridge) 5, orbito-cranial 3, jugum sphenoidale 1, tentorium (occipital) 1.
  • (2) The pituitary body can be surgically approached through the triangular cleft limited by the sphenoidal jugum and the anterior side of the optic chiasma.
  • (3) The authors report their experience of the surgical approach for suprasellar tumors (Jugum or tuberculum sellae meningiomas, 3 cases, and suprasellar craniopharyngiomas, 2 cases) in over than seventy years old patients (71-78 y).
  • (4) As the skull radiographs showed erosion of the jugum and chronic intracranial hypertension features, a CT scan was performed and showed hydrocephalus associated with a congenital suprasellar cyst.
  • (5) One should discard the foramen magnum plane (too variable due to the basion lack of precision); the same is true for the axes passing through the sellion point, because the Sella turcica center is situated relatively lower in women and in toothless persons (at least in our series); the studies on the sphenoidal angle are thus tainted with error, the jugum and clivus planes being still more unprecise.

Ridge


Definition:

  • (n.) The back, or top of the back; a crest.
  • (n.) A range of hills or mountains, or the upper part of such a range; any extended elevation between valleys.
  • (n.) A raised line or strip, as of ground thrown up by a plow or left between furrows or ditches, or as on the surface of metal, cloth, or bone, etc.
  • (n.) The intersection of two surface forming a salient angle, especially the angle at the top between the opposite slopes or sides of a roof or a vault.
  • (n.) The highest portion of the glacis proceeding from the salient angle of the covered way.
  • (v. t.) To form a ridge of; to furnish with a ridge or ridges; to make into a ridge or ridges.
  • (v. t.) To form into ridges with the plow, as land.
  • (v. t.) To wrinkle.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The invaginations were classified into four easily recognized types: regular, chunky, filigree, and ridge (present only in axon hillock regions).
  • (2) On the tangential views the inclinations of the future implants were estimated and the part of the alveolar ridge having a width less than 5 mm, which is the minimum width for housing an implant, was compiled.
  • (3) After 1 day in vitro the explants were partly encircled by epithelium which had proliferated from the cut edges of the explant and from rete ridges near the cut edge (epiboly).
  • (4) We have now found that these cells, cultured as a monolayer, are able to undergo rapid morphogenesis forming ridges and balls around collagen fibres, when soluble collagen type I is added to the medium.
  • (5) Besides the rough, wrinkled, and brown or black surface of the fingertips, microwrinkles of the epidermis occur on the skin ridges, which have so far not been described.
  • (6) The results of the rapid-freeze and deep-etch procedure showed that the ridges observed by the surface replica method consisted of linear arrangements of elliptical particles on the ES face of the plasma membrane.
  • (7) The narrow intercellular ridge is smooth, whereas the epithelial cells have small cytoplasmic knobs between the cilia.
  • (8) The calculations revealed that local hypoxia and lipoprotein accumulation may occur at the ridges, leading to subsequent intimal thickening and ridge growth.
  • (9) The quality of the alveolar ridge and the denture as well as the functional status of the craniomandibular system were evaluated in detail.
  • (10) The use of an intraoral alveolar ridge soft tissue expander to aid in reconstruction of the alveolar ridge is described, and the results in five cases are reported.
  • (11) Sixty-three per cent of the implants were operated in immediately after tooth extraction, whereas the rest were installed in a healed bony alveolar ridge.
  • (12) After the treatment in toto of the embryos from various species of Anura by cAMP, the number of primordial germ cells (PGC) in genital ridges is strongly reduced; the most part of the PGC are found in the endoderm.
  • (13) The innervation to the rete ridge is uniquely absent in the rabbit.
  • (14) The atrial complex was a common chamber with an attempt at division into two parts by a circular ridge of tissue; the ventricular complex was formed by three chambers which were all communicating between each other in the superior margin of their muscular interventricular septum.
  • (15) The other main sites of expression are the genital ridge, fetal gonad and mesothelium.
  • (16) Cells with demarcated borders showed rearrangement of microvilli into globular chains or ridges which lined up with the branching membrane.
  • (17) With the mobilization of the two halves of the face it is possible to approximate the orbits, simultaneously elongating the center of the face and normalizing the maxillary alveolar ridge.
  • (18) The air pressure in the skin cup was continually adjusted (using an electromechanical servo-control system) to pull the skin upward and to hold it perfectly flat across the upper ridge of the Teflon cylinder.
  • (19) Clinical findings as well as fingerprint ridge counts were typical of the syndrome.
  • (20) By design these plants are adjacent to the AEC's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and such a location would seem ideal for an experiment on the wedding of nuclear and fossil sources of energy.
