Bilateral (from Latin bis ' twice '): on both sides of the body. [9] For example, bilateral orchiectomy means removal of testes on both sides of the body. Unilateral (from Latin unus ' one '): on one side of the body. [9] For example, a stroke can result in unilateral weakness, meaning weakness on one side of the body.
Unilateral vocal fold paresis is the term used when there is damage to the RLN on one side of the body. [7] In unilateral vocal fold paresis, there is a lack of nerve supply to one side of the vocal fold's PCA muscle. [5] [7] This lack of nerve supply renders the arytenoid cartilage immobile. [5] [7] The RLN may be damaged during surgical ...
Unilateral training involves the performance of physical exercises using one limb instead of two. Such exercises should be considered as being distinct from bilateral, two limbed, exercises. For example, unilateral squats use one leg, and bilateral squats use two legs. A unilateral bench press uses one arm and a bilateral bench press two arms.
In particular, stage depends on whether lymphangiomas are present above or superior to the hyoid bone (suprahyoid), below or inferior to the hyoid bone (infrahyoid), and whether the lymphangiomas are on one side of the body (unilateral) or both (bilateral). [12] Stage I Unilateral infrahyoid. Stage II Unilateral suprahyoid. Stage III
Anatomy is often described in planes, referring to two-dimensional sections of the body. A section is a two-dimensional surface of a three-dimensional structure that has been cut. A plane is an imaginary two-dimensional surface that passes through the body. Three planes are commonly referred to in anatomy and medicine: [1] [2]: 4
[citation needed] Unilateral absence may not show any abnormalities in semen analysis. Vas deferens are less commonly palpated during routine a physical examination, hence the absence may go unnoticed. Also, injury to Vas deferens common in surgery. [1] Vas deferens may be absent on one or both sides, and in whole or in part.
Bilateria (/ ˌ b aɪ l ə ˈ t ɪər i ə /) [5] is a large clade of animals characterised by bilateral symmetry during embryonic development.This means their body plans are laid around a longitudinal axis with a front (or "head") and a rear (or "tail") end, as well as a left–right–symmetrical belly and back surface.
A commissure is a bilateral connection of axons connecting the left and right side of the same brain region. For example, nerve fibre tracts that cross between the two cerebral hemispheres, are the anterior commissure , posterior commissure , corpus callosum , hippocampal commissure , and habenular commissure .
