Sinuous
Definition:
(a.) Bending in and out; of a serpentine or undulating form; winding; crooked.

(18) Degeneration of the tactile cells in epithelium of the cat sinuous hairs after sectioning the infraorbital nerve manifests itself as cytoplasmic vacuolization and induration with electron opaque bodies in it, changes in nuclear configuration and in chromatin density.
(19) The cytoplasm of macrophages gives only short, somewhat sinuous processes.
(20) Selective arteriography of the coeliac trunk showed extremely sinuous intra-hepatic arteries in 3 of these cases, and obstruction of the portal vein, in one case.
Zigzagging
Definition:
(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Zigzag
Example Sentences:
