What's the difference between sulciform and sulcus?

Sulciform


Definition:

  • (a.) Having the form of a sulcus; as, sulciform markings.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The fine surface structure of this lesion showed a characteristic "ruined sulciform pattern" suggesting papillary carcinoma histologically.

Sulcus


Definition:

  • (n.) A furrow; a groove; a fissure.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) A total of 63 patients (95%) showed varying degrees of hyperostosis involving the cribiform plate, planum sphenoidale, or tuberculum sellae (including the chiasmatic sulcus).
  • (2) Several types of neurons were differentiated on the basis of a study of neuronal activity in various parts of the cortex near the sulcus principalis during the execution of spatial delayed reactions by monkeys.
  • (3) It was established that the different types of neurons are represented in different numbers in different parts of the cortex near the sulcus principalis.
  • (4) For example, in the lightly innervated fundus of the principal sulcus (area 46), labeled fibers were primarily present in layer I and layers V-VI, whereas in area 9, the most densely innervated region, TH-labeled fibers were present in all cortical layers.
  • (5) Insertion of the material after careful tailoring to the individual patient's own mandibular size and configuration requires a generous posterior lower buccal sulcus incision.
  • (6) The average width of the ciliary sulcus is 11.1 mm, indicating that a 12.5 mm IOL is of a sufficient size to be firmly fixed in this sulcus.
  • (7) Pathological examination showed both haptics located in the ciliary sulcus.
  • (8) When the knee was in extension compared to 30 degrees flexion, the sulcus angle was greater, the lateral patellofemoral angle was smaller, there was more lateral patellar displacement, the patella tilted more laterally, and the congruence angle was directed more laterally.
  • (9) The populations of cells labelled following phrenic and thoracic injections overlapped, primarily at the lateral edge of the cruciate sulcus.
  • (10) For accurate localization of the central sulcus by cortical SEP's, the distribution of potentials must be analyzed with extensive exposure of the sensorimotor cortex.
  • (11) Histological findings in control specimens from 13 subjects showed parakeratinization for varying distances in the sulcus epithelium apical to the gingival crest.
  • (12) The area corresponding to the location of the highest concentration of GnRH-containing axons was observed to be largely avascular and separated from the vessels of the tuberoinfundibular sulcus by a "border zone" composed of glial foot processes.
  • (13) Gingival blood flow and temperature were monitored continuously before and after cooling via a twin probe placed in the gingival sulcus on the buccal of tooth No.
  • (14) Here the fornix-transected group was impaired but the group with sulcus principalis ablations was normal.
  • (15) A cyto- and myeloarchitectonic parcellation of the superior temporal sulcus and surrounding cortex in the rhesus monkey has been correlated with the pattern of afferent cortical connections from ipsilateral temporal, parietal and occipital lobes, studied by both silver impregnation and autoradiographic techniques.
  • (16) During the opening of the sulcus spiralis internus the inner supporting cells become considerably smaller, some of them undergo complete destruction by cytolysis, with pyknosis and karyorrhexis.
