Re: Anatomical terms

There are a few anatomical terms I'm having great difficulty finding
definitions for. Hopefully one of the anatomy wizards on the list can help
out?
autopidal
jugomaxillar arch
nasolacrimal crest
Nasolacrimal crests are crests that run from the nasals to the lacrimals,
like those of Dilophosaurus and Liliensternus.
neural pedicle
nuchal ring
os carre
parietal bar
paraoccipital wing
Probably the paroccipital process.
transversum
pubic plate
Probably the pubic apron(?).
ischial foot
A distal expansion of the ilium, look at most non-coelurosaurian tetanurans
for an example.
pneumatopore
Sort of a countersink-structure in a bone. See the paroccipital of
Archaeopteryx or some dromaeosaurids, I suppose.

"But shouldn't you interpret any book, and any one else's words, in light of
their convictions insitead of yours? When you're interpreting, you want to
know what they believe, don't you? Then you decide whether you believe it
or not. But if you don't know what it is, what the other person believes,
how can you know whether you agree or disagree with it? [...] That confuses
two things, interpretation and belief." - "Socrates", Keeft 1987 (p. 53)
