What's the difference between semilunar and semilunate?
Semilunar
Definition:
(a.) Shaped like a half moon.
(n.) The semilunar bone.
Example Sentences:
(1) Emergency CT showed evidence of pericardial effusion suggesting hemopericardium, enlargement of the ascending aorta and a peripheral semilunar filling defect which caused a slight deformation of the true channel.
(2) The quail-chick chimera method was used to examine whether neural crest cells were associated with the formation of semilunar valves.
(3) A case of aortic insufficiency due to avulsion of two of three semilunar valves was remarkable because of the intimal and medial tears which caused it.
(4) A light and transmission electron microscopical study of 6 to 8 months old rabbit semilunar cartilages has shown that the cells in this tissue resemble chondrocytes more than fibroblasts.
(5) Development of an aorta and pulmonary trunk with tricuspid semilunar valves appears to be contingent on the appearance of separate entwined ventricular ejection streams.
(6) Most of our tricusp semilunar valves are made of polyurethane.
(7) The anatomical relations of the semilunar notch of the ulna were studied in radiographs, taken in a strict lateral view, from 100 patients with elbow dislocations.
(8) A supernumerary valvula of the pulmonary semilunar valve was found in a 51-year old, male Japanese.
(9) With advancing gestation, the heart rate decreased, the diastolic filling period of both atrioventricular valves increased, and the systolic ejection time of both semilunar valves remained unchanged.
(10) The "dangerous zones" are situated at the base of the right-side surface of the interatrial septum above the fibrous ring of the septal cusp of the tricuspid valve, along the base of the membranous segment of the interventricular septum, in front of the posterior fibrous triangle, and at the fibrous ring encircling the bases of the posterior and right aortic semilunar valves.
(11) It is the result of either a casting-off of the semilunar ganglion cells into the cavernous sinus or a transformation of several cells into polyhedral cells with an epithelial-like organization, a process which immediately precedes their further degeneration.
(12) The study showed that echocardiography makes it possible to calculate the size of the semilunar valves quite precisely.
(13) Our results show that during semilunar valve development a series of elements arise and are organized in the ECM which seem to be more closely related to the maintenance of the structural and biomechanical properties of the valvular leaflets than with morphogenetic processes per se.
(14) Recent ultrastructural studies have revealed that there are differences in endothelial cell shape and cytoskeletal architecture between the arterial and ventricular faces of developing semilunar valves.
(15) In the medial dorsolateral portion of the semilunar ganglion of curarized and anaesthetized lambs a cellular pool has been identified which contains the perikarya of the first-order neurons of the eye muscle proprioception.
(16) Although neural crest cells have been thought to have no association with the formation of the semilunar valves, our experiment indicates that such association indeed occurs.
(17) The actuarial incidence of significant tricuspid incompetence following annuloplasty was 12% at 3 years, and following stented homograft semilunar valve replacement was 6% at 3 years and 24% at 8 years.
(18) Similar differences, though less marked, were found also in neurosecretory cells of the nucelus supra-opticus of the rat and in the nuclear region of the ganglion semilunare Gasseri cells in man.
(19) The right outflow tract sulcus appears to be of importance in contributing to the final cardiac topography where interatrial, atrioventricular, interventricular, and outflow tract sulci meet and where the junction of atrioventricular and semilunar valve rings occurs.
(20) Congenital hyperlaxity, a shallow semilunar notch and traumatic sequelae after previous dislocations reduce joint stability.
Semilunate
Definition:
(a.) Semilunar.
Example Sentences:
(1) In the submandibular gland, VIP immunostaining was observed in some peripheral acinar cells, while in sublingual one VIP positive fibres surrounded semilunes.
