    To the definition of an oval in a projective plane To the definition of an ovoid. In a projective plane a set Ω of points is called an oval, if: Any line l meets Ω in at most two points, and; For any point P ∈ Ω there exists exactly one tangent line t through P, i.e., t ∩ Ω = {P}.

    To the definition of an ovoid: t tangent, s secant line. In projective geometry an ovoid is a sphere like pointset (surface) in a projective space of dimension d ≥ 3. Simple examples in a real projective space are hyperspheres . The essential geometric properties of an ovoid are:

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condyloid_joint

    A condyloid joint (also called condylar, ellipsoidal, or bicondylar [1]) is an ovoid articular surface, or condyle that is received into an elliptical cavity. This permits movement in two planes, allowing flexion , extension , adduction , abduction , and circumduction .

    It is slightly ovoid in shape and is oriented "superior-to-posteroinferior. (Cerezal)" This orientation might be favorable for the tensed fibers of the ligamentum teres. The fovea capitis is located "slightly posterior and inferior to the center of the articular surface of the femoral head (Cerezal)" Unlike the head of the femur, the fovea ...

    A sesamoid bone is a small, round bone that, as the name suggests, is shaped like a sesame seed. These bones form in tendons (the sheaths of tissue that connect bones to muscles) where a great deal of pressure is generated in a joint. The sesamoid bones protect tendons by helping them overcome compressive forces.

    The course of GVA fibers from organs in the pelvis, in general, depends on the organ's position relative to the pelvic pain line.An organ, or part of an organ, in the pelvis is said to be "above the pelvic pain line" if it is in contact with the peritoneum, except in the case of the large intestine, where the pelvic pain line is said to be located in the middle of the sigmoid colon.
