  2. Temporal parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_parts

    Objects typically have parts that exist in space—a human body, for example, has spatial parts like hands, feet, and legs. Some metaphysicians believe objects have temporal parts as well. [1] Originally it was argued that those who believe in temporal parts believe in perdurantism, that persisting objects are wholes composed entirely of ...

  3. Temporal bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_bone

    The petrous and mastoid parts of the temporal bone, which derive from the periotic bone, formed from the fusion of a number of bones surrounding the ear of reptiles. The delicate structure of the middle ear , unique to mammals, is generally not protected in marsupials , but in placentals , it is usually enclosed within a bony sheath called the ...

  4. Perdurantism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perdurantism

    It is a fusion of all the perdurant's instantaneous time slices compiled and blended into a complete mereological whole. Perdurantism posits that temporal parts alone are what ultimately change. Katherine Hawley in How Things Persist states that change is "the possession of different properties by different temporal parts of an object". [2]

    This is a list of notable body parts of people. It includes specific, individual instances of organs and appendages which are famous in their own regard. Many noted body parts are of dubious provenance [1] and most were separated from their bodies post-mortem. [2] In some faiths, veneration of the dead may include the preservation of body parts ...

  6. Four-dimensionalism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-dimensionalism

    Four-dimensionalism is a name for different positions. One of these uses four-dimensionalism as a position of material objects with respect to dimensions. Four-dimensionalism is the view that in addition to spatial parts, objects have temporal parts. [7] According to this view, four-dimensionalism cannot be used as a synonym for perdurantism.

    [10] [11] Different parts of this system are given different names: White myelinated fibers that cover the ventricular (deep) parts of hippocampus make alveus. Fibers that cover the temporal parts of hippocampus make a fiber bundle that is called fimbria. Going from temporal to septal (dorsal) parts of hippocampus fimbria collects more and more ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporomandibular_joint

    The major ligament, the temporomandibular ligament, is actually the thickened lateral portion of the capsule, and it has two parts: an outer oblique portion (OOP) and an inner horizontal portion (IHP). The base of this triangular ligament is attached to the zygomatic process of the temporal bone and the articular tubercle; its apex is fixed to ...
