Foramen

The doctor also has a hole in his heart — a patent foramen ovale — that did not properly close up after birth.

A depression in the surface of the right atrium remains where the foramen ovale once walls, called the fossa ovalis.

Next, he takes a distressingly small Caucasian skull, shakes hard, and pushes mightily at the foramen magnum with his thumb.

Some examples of terms used to describe bones include the term "foramen" to describe a hole through which something passes, and a "canal" or "meatus" to describe a tunnel-like structure.

Surface of the tongue Foramen cecum and terminal sulcus labelled above Tonge surface features The upper surface of the tongue is called the dorsum, and is divided by a groove into symmetrical halves by the median sulcus.

The facial nerve then reaches the side of the face by using the stylomastoid foramen, also in the temporal bone.

The foramen cecum marks the end of this division (at about 2.5 cm from the root of the tongue) and the beginning of the terminal sulcus.

The foramen magnum migrated under the skull and more anterior.

The leakage can cause a lack of CSF pressure and volume which can allow the brain to descend through the foramen magnum in the occipital bone where the lower portion of the brain may impact on cranial nerve complexes causing a variety of sensory symptoms.

The obturator externus has a parallel course with its origin located on the posterior border of the obturator foramen.

The position of the nutrient foramen of the tarsometatarsus also separates the two groups of sea ducks.

The vertebra of the neck unite on nearly flat surfaces, the humerus had lost the foramen, or perforation, at the lower end, and the third trochanter to the femur may have also been wanting.

They are long, and their anterior and posterior tubercles are fused into one mass; the foramen transversarium is directed from below, upward and backward.
