What's the difference between runcinate and uncinate?
Runcinate
Definition:
(a.) Pinnately cut with the lobes pointing downwards, as the leaf of the dandelion.
Example Sentences:
Uncinate
Definition:
(a.) Hooked; bent at the tip in the form of a hook; as, an uncinate process.
Example Sentences:

(2) This probably resulted from a lack of insulin rather than a lack of glucagon, as it did not develop either in pancreatectomized dogs maintained on insulin, or in dogs with all but the uncinate process of the pancreas removed.
(3) This malformation of the pancreatic uncinate process was considered to be due to excess fusion between the ventral and dorsal pancreatic anlages during embryonic stage.
(4) The distribution of the isotope injected into the caudal pancreatic artery and into the pancreatic branches of the splenic artery was observed only in the uncinate process and in the caudal part of the gland.
(5) This approach may avoid many of the potential problems associated with freeing of the uncinate process during pancreatic resection.
(6) All lesions were located in the uncinate process and were about 3 cm in size.
(7) The pale reaction indicative of terminating tectal efferents was seen in the dorsal pretectum, partially overlapping the lateral nucleus and uncinate neuropil; in the core of nucleus isthmi; and in the superior olive.
(8) When a cystic lesion is noted in the uncinate process of the pancreas, ERP is mandatory to confirm or rule out this potentially or overtly malignant disease.
(9) The 3rd hypothesis that uncinate processes function to facilitate axial rotation is not supported by the recorded interfacet angles which appear to promote axial rotation only in the lower 4 vertebrae.
(10) This appeared to be evident for tumors restricted to the non-uncinate region of the pancreatic head.
(11) After laparatomy under general anesthesia, uncinate process of the pancreas was punctured by a needle electrode for electrolysis and determination of hydrogen gas.
(12) A positively reacting cell with anti-insulin antibody was also found in the uncinate process of the dog pancreas, while there was no positively reacting cell with anti-glucagon antibody.
(13) An "air space" progressively develops from 11 to 12 weeks lateral to the cartilaginous uncinate process and from this space, the embryonic channel to the maxillary sinus develops.
(14) Patients with more severe nasal septal deviation and more horizontally-oriented uncinate processes had a higher frequency of sinus opacification.
(15) On ultrasound and computerized tomography, the main pancreatic duct was enlarged in all cases, associated in 2 cases with a mass in the head of the pancreas, and in 1 case, with pseudocystic dilation of the uncinate process ducts.

(17) The uncinate fasciculus of man derived its name from its arching course from the base of the frontal lobe to the temporal lobe.
(18) It seems that in patients with proved or established organic hyperinsulinism, THPVS may continue to be of value, if only to regionalize the tumor, especially those in the pancreatic head and uncinate process so as to preclude noncurative operations on the body and tail of the pancreas.
(19) The number of each of the four cell types was counted in at least ten immunolabelled islets from each of the pancreas heads, uncinate portions, and tails.
(20) We postulated that this is the period of axonogenesis, the longitudinally oriented cells issuing efferents that join the superior cerebellar peduncle ipsilaterally and the transversely oriented cells (representing the neurons of the caudal fastigial nucleus) sending decussating fibers to the uncinate fasciculus (the hook bundle of Russell).
