entomion
The anatomy student carefully locates the entomion on the detailed skull model.
Noun: * The craniometric point at the tip of the angular part of the parietal bone that articulates with the temporal bone. It is a specific landmark on the human skull used in scientific measurement.
This is a highly specialized anatomical and anthropological term. It is used almost exclusively in academic, medical, or forensic contexts when describing precise locations on the human skull for measurement, analysis, or identification. * The distance between the left and right entomion was recorded for the craniometric study. * In this specimen, the entomion is located at the posterior end of the parietomastoid suture.
- Craniometric Landmark: The entomion is classified as a craniometric landmark, a type of osteometric point used to take standardized measurements of the skull.
- Bilateral Structure: Like many cranial landmarks, there is both a left and right entomion.
- Craniometry (n): The scientific measurement of skulls.
- Parietal Bone (n): The cranial bone on which the entomion is located.
- Temporal Bone (n): The cranial bone with which the parietal bone articulates at the entomion.
- Cranial Landmark: A general term for any defined point on the skull used for measurement. (Note: This is a broader category, not a direct synonym.)
- Osteometric Point: A point on a bone used for measurement. (Note: This is a broader category, not a direct synonym.)
There are no direct antonyms for this specific anatomical point.
