housing the frontal lobes of the brain, and composed of
portions of three bones; the ethmoid, frontal and sphenoid.
Anterior Spinal Artery Bilateral pain and temperature loss below the level of the
Ischemia lesion, but no vibratory or proprioception loss, a sensory
combination called "dissociated sensory loss".
Anterior Spinal Artery Injury to the ventral spinal cord caused by blockage of the
Syndrome (Anterior Cord anterior spinal artery and infarction fo the areas it supplies.
Syndrome)

proceeds.
Aphasia Loss of impairment of speech.
Artery A vessel through which the blood passes away from the
heart to the various parts of the body.

The sac-like envelope which encloses the cavity of a
Articular Capsule synovial joint, called also joint capsule and synovial
capsule.

Receiving timely, appropriate care for the injury
Avulsion Ripping or tearing away all of the layers of the skin in which a
portion is separated from underlying tissues often creating a
flap.
Avulsion, Complex, Synonyms for massive organ laceration.
Rupture, Tissue Loss &
Deep
Axilla Refers to the armpit.
Babinski's Syndrome Condition in which when the sole of the foot is stroked, the
great toe turns upward instead of downward, indicating an
organic lesion in the brain or spinal cord.
