A central venous catheter (CVC), also known as a central line (c-line), central venous line, or central venous access catheter, is a catheter placed into a large vein. It is a form of venous access. Placement of larger catheters in more centrally located veins is often needed in critically ill patients, or in those requiring prolonged ...
In geometry, central lines are certain special straight lines that lie in the plane of a triangle. The special property that distinguishes a straight line as a central line is manifested via the equation of the line in trilinear coordinates. This special property is related to the concept of triangle center also.
Anatomical "lines", or "reference lines," are theoretical lines drawn through anatomical structures and are used to describe anatomical location. The following reference lines are identified in Terminologia Anatomica: Anterior median line; Lateral sternal line: A vertical line corresponding to the lateral margin of the sternum.
the Simson lines, and; central lines. For a convex quadrilateral with at most two parallel sides, the Newton line is the line that connects the midpoints of the two diagonals. [7] For a hexagon with vertices lying on a conic we have the Pascal line and, in the special case where the conic is a pair of lines, we have the Pappus line.
Longitude, the Prime Meridian [1] Any axis about which an object spins is an imaginary line. Mason–Dixon line, which informally marks pieces of the borders of four U.S. states: Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, once part of Virginia. Symbolically, the line separates the Northern United States from the Southern United States
This list covers all faults and fault-systems that are either geologically important [clarification needed] or connected to prominent seismic activity. [clarification needed] It is not intended to list every notable fault, but only major fault zones.
The family of lines formed by the sides of a regular polygon together with its axes of symmetry, and; The sides and axes of symmetry of an even regular polygon, together with the line at infinity. Additionally there are many other examples of sporadic simplicial arrangements that do not fit into any known infinite family. [22]
The two lines run parallel near each other, with the Jubilee Line making two additional stops and the Metropolitan Line running non-stop between the stations. The tracks on the Piccadilly & District Lines between Barons Court & Acton Town are quadruplicated, with the Piccadilly running fast and the District being the stopping line.
