  2. Orbit (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit_(anatomy)

    The orbital surface presents medially by trochlear fovea and laterally by lacrimal fossa. [8] The floor (inferior wall) is formed by the orbital surface of maxilla, the orbital surface of zygomatic bone and the minute orbital process of palatine bone. Medially, near the orbital margin, is located the groove for nasolacrimal duct. Near the ...

  3. Mean anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_anomaly

    where M 0 is the mean anomaly at the epoch t 0, which may or may not coincide with τ, the time of pericenter passage. The classical method of finding the position of an object in an elliptical orbit from a set of orbital elements is to calculate the mean anomaly by this equation, and then to solve Kepler's equation for the eccentric anomaly.

  4. Mean longitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_longitude

    An orbiting body's mean longitude is calculated L = Ω + ω + M, where Ω is the longitude of the ascending node, ω is the argument of the pericenter and M is the mean anomaly, the body's angular distance from the pericenter as if it moved with constant speed rather than with the variable speed of an elliptical orbit.

  5. True anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_anomaly

    In celestial mechanics, true anomaly is an angular parameter that defines the position of a body moving along a Keplerian orbit.It is the angle between the direction of periapsis and the current position of the body, as seen from the main focus of the ellipse (the point around which the object orbits).

  6. Outline of human anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_human_anatomy

    The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to human anatomy: Human anatomy is the scientific study of the morphology of the adult human. It is subdivided into gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy. Gross anatomy (also called topographical anatomy, regional anatomy, or anthropotomy) is the study of anatomical ...

  7. Perifocal coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perifocal_coordinate_system

    Circular orbits, having no eccentricity, give no means by which to orient the coordinate system about the focus. [5] The perifocal coordinate system may also be used as an inertial frame of reference because the axes do not rotate relative to the fixed stars. This allows the inertia of any orbital bodies within this frame of reference to be ...

  8. Eccentric anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentric_anomaly

    In orbital mechanics, the eccentric anomaly is an angular parameter that defines the position of a body that is moving along an elliptic Kepler orbit.The eccentric anomaly is one of three angular parameters ("anomalies") that define a position along an orbit, the other two being the true anomaly and the mean anomaly.

  9. Human anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_anatomy

    Superficial anatomy of female and male human body Surface projections of the major organs of the trunk, using the vertebral column and rib cage as main reference points of superficial anatomy Superficial anatomy or surface anatomy is important in human anatomy being the study of anatomical landmarks that can be readily identified from the ...
