What's the difference between sublingua and sublingual?
Sublingua
Definition:
(n.) A process or fold below the tongue in some animals.
Example Sentences:
(1) In none of the specimens examined was any trace of sublingual cartilage found; in the sublingua of Cheirogaleus (only one individual examined), the nearest relative of Microcebus, cartilage was also absent.
(2) There were 5 pairs of major salivary glands, parotid, submandibular, sublingua, molar and zygomatic.
(3) From this it is concluded that the sublingual organ of Callicebus is a topographically modified frenal lamella, not a sublingua.
(4) In the platyrrhine monkeys the sublingua is lacking completely, but the frenal lamella (plica sublingualis) is very specialized.
(5) The apex of the sublingua ends in two lobe-like projections separated by a distinct median cleft.
(6) The exclusive occurrence of a sublingua in prosimians and Tarsius indicates a phylogenetic relationship between these two groups and Tupaia.
(7) The absence of sublingual cartilage and the incidental, irregular occurrence of cartilaginous elements in the sublingua of Tarsius and Tupaia indicate that the sublingual cartilaginous skeleton is not a derivative of the hyoid arch.
(8) The microscopic anatomy of the sublingua of Tupaia glis was studied comparatively to find out if there is any possible explanation of the origin and the structural characteristics of the sublingual organ in Callicebus.
(9) The sublingua of Microcebus murinus was studied gross anatomically and light microscopically.
(10) A sublingua occurs only in prosimians and Tarsius; whether the fimbria linguae of the Hominoidea is the homologue of a sublingua is still disputable.
(11) The denticles of the sublinguae of Galago crassicaudatus and G. senegalensis are studied histologically.
(12) There are, at the oral end of the sublingua, main or primary denticles which bear on their surface the much smaller secondary denticles.
(13) Since a sublingua does not occur in New World monkeys, it can be concluded that this organ represents a plica sublingualis which became adherent to the undersurface of the tongue.
(14) At the ventral surface of the sublingua three longitudinally oriented keels or ridges are found; the mucosa of the keels is strongly keratinized, so that these structures maximize the rigidity of the undertongue.
(15) Tarsius has a well developed but not specialized sublingua.
(16) The sublingua of Tupaia is at a primitive stage, but has nothing at all in common with the sublingual organ.
Sublingual
Definition:
(a.) Situated under the tongue; as, the sublingual gland.
(a.) Of or pertaining to the sublingual gland; as, sublingual salvia.
Example Sentences:
(1) A multiparametric analysis of the resident immune populations in the parotid, submandibular and sublingual salivary glands was done in single-cell suspensions.
(2) In 2 cases, sublingual nitroglycerin failed to completely relieve the spasm.
(3) Many alternatives to such a crisis situation, including the intratracheal, intracardiac, and sublingual routes of administration, have been proposed and efficaciously used.
(4) 26 patients with chronic coronary artery disease had ventriculograms before and after 0.4 mg sublingual nitroglycerin.
(5) Mean anginal frequency and sublingual nitroglycerin consumption were low during the cross-over placebo period and did not change significantly during therapy with nicardipine.
(6) To determine the effects of diltiazem (DTZ) and nitroglycerin (NTG) on left ventricular (LV) diastolic relaxation and filling in patients with cornary artery disease (CADpts), LV graphy and time constant (Tc) of LV isovolumic pressure decay were studied before and 5 min after intravenous DTZ (10 mg) in 16 CADpts and sublingual NTG (0.3 mg) in 11 CADpts.
(7) These results show that sublingual administration of salbutamol tablet has no clinical benefit over the oral route.
(8) The results suggest that compliance in using the initial prescription for sublingual nitroglycerin can be improved when the physician supervises the first dose.
(9) Lateral separation of the upper incisors by application of force from an orthodontic appliance caused significant enlargement of the sublingual and submandibular glands of rats by three and seven days, respectively, after the beginning of the orthodontic treatment.
(10) The administration of 5 mg and 10 mg doses, both sublingually and orally, caused significant reductions of systemic arterial pressure, cardiac index, stroke index, and pulmonary arterial pressure that were prominent 15 to 30 minutes after administration of the drug.
(11) This instrument was also used to measure each subject's sublingual temperature in order to compute the differences between sublingual and subgingival temperature.
(12) The acyltransferase activity of this fraction was 1.3-1.4 times greater in submandibular gland than in sublingual gland.
(13) Formation of both weals and flares was significantly inhibited by cetirizine administered by either route; weals were inhibited as early as 20 min after oral intake but not clearly inhibited until 90 min after sublingual intake.
(14) Adenyl cyclase activity in mucous acinar cells and serous demilune cells of the rat sublingual gland was localized cytochemically.
(15) We conclude that sublingual captopril is effective in patients with hypertensive emergencies and that captopril may be an excellent alternative to sublingual nifedipine in the urgent treatment of hypertensive crisis.
(16) We have concluded from the final data that the sublingual bar compares favorably with the lingual plate in patient acceptance and should be considered as a viable design alternative when a lingual plate is not indicated.
(17) Exercise tolerance before and after sublingual isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN), 10 mg, was assessed in 217 consecutive patients with stable angina, positive exercise test, and angiographically proved coronary artery disease.
(18) Sublingual nifedipine was administered perioperatively to 19 elderly (age, greater than or equal to 60 years) patients undergoing ophthalmologic surgery.
(19) The existence and distribution of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), and Met-enkephalin pentapeptide were investigated by means of the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) technique in rabbit submandibular and sublingual glands.
(20) These data indicate that the interindividual variations of changes in coronary lumen size are due to different slopes of plasma level increase, most likely due to different rates of drug absorption after sublingual administration of nifedipine.
