What's the difference between superciliary and supercilium?
Superciliary
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the eyebrows; supraorbital.
(a.) Having a distinct streak of color above the eyes; as, the superciliary woodpecker.
Example Sentences:
(1) Under the effect of treatment there was also an improvement in the biolectrical activity of the superciliary muscle and an increase in the amplitude of the rheographical wave.
(2) Particularly challenging was the frontal-orbital region involving the superciliary ridges.
(3) Revision of former results concerning the sexing of skulls by anatomical characteristcs, confirms the interest of the following data : superciliary arches protuberance, upper orbitary rim's shape, supramastoidian temporal crest protuberance.
(4) The author reports on the successful use of collagen injections after surgery for the correction of inter-superciliary lines and missing tissue lesions after rhinoplasty.
(5) These problems can be overcome with the combined use of a prefabricated Dacron polyurethane mesh prosthesis (Osteo-Mesh, Xomed, Inc.) to establish contour of the forehead and superciliary ridges, and underlying split-rib grafts to protect the brain and isolate the paranasal sinuses.
(6) Since it has been reported that dolichocephaly depends on the development of arcus superciliaris and protuberantia occipitalis externa by the interaction between androgen and GH in males as well as time of closure of the cranial suture in childhood, and as androgen accelerates offensive behavior and GH stimulates the synthesis of collagen, the occurrence of chronic subdural hematoma is potentially related with sexual or individual variation in such endocrinic environments.
(7) The guiding points for the direction of the X-ray heam are: the lateral border of the superciliary arch, the midpoint between the lateral border of the superciciliary arch and the external acoustic meatus, the midpoint between the external acoustic meatus and the external occipital protuberance.
(8) Symptoms were a simple manner with slow learning ability, frontal bossing, wide nasal root, hypertelorism, large superciliary ridge, deep-set eyes, bifid uvula, dentigerous keratocyst of the mandible, pectus excavatum, bilateral shortened metacarpals, multiple basal cell nevi, bilateral palmar pitting, hemivertebrae C2-3 and C7-T1, several bifid ribs, calcification of the falx cerebri, bridging of the sella turcica, and an open frontal suture.
Supercilium
Definition:
(n.) The eyebrow, or the region of the eyebrows.
Example Sentences:
(1) A supercilium of more than 4mm raises the suspicion of increased stress on the cartilage.
(2) A thousand radiographs of the hip joints in adults were evaluated quantitatively and the following statistical conclusions were drawn: the normal forms of the supercilium acetabuli are either parallel or convex.
(3) Eight formulas have been defined which can be used after planimetry of the supercilium and the articular surface in order to indicate increased stress on the cartilage and a risk of developing an arthrosis of the hip.
