Definition of apophysis in English:

apophysis

nounPlural apophyses əˈpɒfɪsɪsəˈpɑfəsəs

1Anatomy Zoology
A natural protuberance from a bone, or inside the shell or exoskeleton of a sea urchin or insect, for the attachment of muscles.
〔动，剖〕骨突
Example sentencesExamples
- The iliac apophysis ossifies in a predictable fashion from anterolateral to posteromedial along the iliac crest.
- These structures, along with the columella and apophysis are present in the asexual state.
- Hypertrophy is defined as either an increase in the size of the medial epicondylar apophysis of the pitching elbow or an increase in the thickness of the medial humeral cortex as compared to the contralateral elbow.
- The history and clinical picture of avulsion of the ischial apophysis closely mimics that of a hamstring injury.
- In younger patients, nonossified bone present at growth plates such as the femoral head epiphysis and the anterior superior iliac spine apophysis is susceptible to injury until the skeleton matures.
2Botany
A swelling at the base of the sporangium in some mosses.
〔植〕（一些藓类植物的）蒴托
3Geology
A small offshoot extending from an igneous intrusion into the surrounding rock.
〔地质〕（火成岩侵入周围岩石的）小岩枝
Example sentencesExamples
- These apophyses extend 50 pm into the adjacent quartz grains and, when viewed parallel to the grain boundaries, form irregular branching features.
- The latter are characterized by sheet-like apophyses that interfinger with host rocks.
- Along the southern margin of the intrusion at Sogneskollen, granodiorite apophyses netvein the host rocks.

Derivatives

apophyseal

adjectiveˌapəˈfɪsɪələˈpɑfəsiəl

Adolescents and young adults are at particular risk for various apophyseal and epiphyseal injuries due to lack of ossification of these cartilaginous growth plates.
Example sentencesExamples
- Manual therapy procedures may include joint mobilization directed toward the apophyseal joints or costotransverse joints.
- Radiography of the pelvis showed a non-union of the left ischial tuberosity, with marked displacement of the apophyseal fragment.
- As water is the main component of the disc, loss of fluid leads to a fall in disc height and abnormal loading of other spinal structures such as the apophyseal joints.
- Additionally, there is some evidence to suggest that gymnastics may induce changes in the anterior and middle columns (Schmorl's nodes, apophyseal ring abnormalities, and vertebral wedging) that are not necessarily symptomatic.

Origin

Late 16th century: modern Latin, from Greek apophusis 'offshoot', from apo- 'from, away' + phusis 'growth'.
