The curved surface of liquids in tubes, whether concave or convex, caused by the surface tension of the liquid
Either of two parts of the human knee that provide structural integrity to the knee when it undergoes tension and torsion
{n} a lens, concave on one side and convex on the other
The curved top of a column of liquid in a small tube
{i} lens that is convex on one side and concave on the other (Optics); crescent or crescent-shaped body; disk of cartilage that cushions between the ends of two bones (Anatomy); curvature of the upper surface of liquid which is caused by surface tension
Crescent shaped cartilage, usually pertaining to the knee joint; also known as "cartilage " There are two menisci in the knee, medial and lateral These work to absorb weight within the knee and provide stability
The shape assumed by the surface of a liquid in a cylindrical container
An interarticular synovial cartilage or membrane; esp
The curved surface of a liquid
one of the intervertebral synovial disks in some parts of the vertebral column of birds
Where a liqued meets a solid object, causing the surface of the liquid to bend due to cohesion / adhesion forces and surface tension Water has a concave meniscus, mercury a convex miniscus
The upper surface of a column of liquid
a crescent or a body shaped like a crescent
Curved surface of a liquid in a graduated cylinder
is the cartilage in the knee that helps to control movement, stability, and acts as a shock absorber
This term describes the interface of a liquid to its container It is caused by the degree of attraction a liquid has to the material of the container The surface tension of the liquid is the major contributor to the shape and stability of this interface It is one of the primary areas of research toward the functionality of an ink jet printer and relates to the ink presentation in the orifice
A crescent
The cartilaginous portion of the knee There is both a medial (inner) and lateral (outer) meniscus In a healthy individual, these act as frictionless surfaces to allow easy gliding of one bone on another In disease states, there may be breakdown of this material If injured, the meniscus may actually tear and cause problems with instability with locking and buckling with walking
Cartilage 'spacers' found in some joints, for instance the knee
The curved surface of a liquid confined in a narrow tube due to the adhesion of the liquid to the interior surface of the tube
(noun) The curved surface of a liquid that forms in a buret, pipet, or capillary tube The meniscus is convex (bulges upwards) for mercury and is concave (sags downwards) for water
The curved surface of a liquid at the liquid-air interface in a narrow tube
The curvature away from a flat surface where a liquid meets a solid, due to surface tension The effect can be clearly seen through the wall of a glass tube as the surface of water in air rises up the wall of the tube
fibrocartilaginous structure that function as a washers - to deepen the joint surfaces, shock absorbers, assist in joint lubrication and provide joint stabilization
A lens convex on one side and concave on the other
The curved top of a column of liquid (water, oil, mercury) in a small tube When the liquid wets the sides of the container (as with water), the curve forms a valley When the confining sides are not wetted (as with mercury), the curve forms a hill or upward bulge
The crescent-shaped surface at the edge of a liquid column
The mensci are fibrocartilaginous structures that function as "washers" - to deepen the joint surfaces, shock absorbers, assist in joint lubrication and provide joint stabilisation Often damaged, particularly in the knee, when there is a rotational force
the curved upper surface of a non-turbulent liquid in a container; it is concave (curves upward) if it wets the container walls, and convex (curves downward) if it does not For accurate measurements, readings should be taken at the flat center of the meniscus
a disk of cartilage that serves as a cushion between the ends of bones that meet at a point
Walt's Baker's Cyst Q&A Archive A commonly-injured structure in the knee
A soft padding that acts as a cushion or "shock absorber" between the ends of bones in some joints
The crescent shaped cartilage between the femur and tibia
The curved interface between a liquid and a gas or between two immiscible liquids Observed, generally, only in tubes of small diameter
