The ligature should be passed from the inner side to avoid including the vein, and thus there will be less chance of wounding the peritoneum from the convexity of the needle being applied to it.
Sedillot makes a semilunar or ovoid flap, the base of which is just below the great trochanter, and which includes it, the convexity being upwards and the flap being turned down.
Having fixed the position of the articulations of the first and fifth metatarsals with the tarsus, the operator unites them by a curved incision across the dorsum of the foot, with its convexity downwards.

On its southern side the plateau is bounded by the high chains of the Taurus and the Anti-Taurus, which form a crescent with its convexity facing southwards.
Brown observes, separate the color from the convexity and magnitude of an oak before us, but this does not prove that convexity and magnitude are objects of immediate and original perception.
The third to appear has a ventral convexityand is known as the pontine, since it marks the site of the future pons Varolii; it resembles the permanent flexure in the reptilian brain.
The convexity of this lens can be varied by the action of a surrounding muscle M M, and in this way the focus is adjusted for objects at different distances from the eye.
And again, when we wish to see a blue or violet thing distinctly, the ciliary muscle must be relaxed and the convexity of the lens as far as possible diminished, just as if the gaze were directed to the horizon.
They are too much refracted, and the mechanism by which the eye is adjusted is incompetent to diminish the convexity of the lenses sufficiently to enable them to project a clear image.
The bulging convexity of the hill hid all this; it must be dead ground!
In children, the bones frequently contain little earthy matter, bend easily, and often break partially on the convexity of the curve.
If equation (1) expressed an identity, it would not represent the relation of convexity to concavity, which are not identical but distinguishable.
When convexity is said to imply concavity, convexity is just therein not “pure,” as the sensation is supposed to be.
We confess three obvious differences between the two equations which we have taken to represent our critic’s conception of the relation of convexity to concavity and the relation of consciousness to matter.
You have to get outside of your convexity to observe it and its implication of concavity; just so, you have to get outside of your sensation to know it; in it, you know only the object of it.
Pure” convexity, analogous to “pure” sensation or subjectivity, would be convexity without implication of concavity.
Convexity in its essence, as convex, would therein no longer be the object of the observation.
Indeed, if our critic were to observe convexity as he proposes that we observe sensation, he would find no implication of concavity in it; nor would he find it convex.
Between the uvea and the arachnoid anteriorly there is a humour called albugineus, like the white of an egg, to moisten the eye and to preserve the convexity of the cornea.
Into this there enters a vein called vena chilis, which arises in the convexityof the liver and brings the blood from the liver to the heart.
The convexity should always stop short of the beginning of the front bend.
The top of the platform must, of course, be horizontal in transverse section; take care to build it up well at the sides in order to prevent any convexity in the middle which might cause the jumper to side-slip while taking off.
I had taken so steady an aim at the convexity at the root of the trunk, that every advantage had been given to the bullet; but the rifle that in Ceylon had been almost certain at an elephant, had completely failed.
The corners of the obelisks are sharp and well cut, but their faces are not perfectly plane, and their slight convexityis a proof of the attention the Egyptians paid to the construction of their monuments.
If their faces were plane they would appear concave to the eye; the convexity compensates for this optical illusion.
Downward convexity, orconvexity of the inferior surface.
The handle of hard wood is about a foot in length, half an inch in diameter, and slightly bowed in the plane of the blade, the convexity being in the direction of the cutting edge of the blade.
The blade of the knife is some three inches in length, resembling in general shape the blade of the sword; it is wider in proportion, but has the same peculiarconvexity of the one side and concavity of the other in transverse section.
The other end is heated in the furnace and gradually beaten out until the peculiar shape of the blade is achieved, with the characteristic hollow on the one side and convexity on the other.
It presents two: one superior, with its convexity looking upwards; the other inferior, the convexity of which is turned downwards.
If we examine the gluteal region as a whole by looking at the thigh from the side, we plainly see the graceful curve produced by the general convexity above indicated.
The greater convexity of the outer portion of the hoof is found equally on the human foot; the external border of this foot is more convex than the opposite one.
Its shaft is rectilinear, and does not present the anterior convexity which is found on the human femur, and which we indicated when discussing that of the dog.
We recognise in the latter the two curves which characterize them in the human species, and which we clearly notice when we view them on one of their lateral aspects: a concavity above, and a convexity below.
The external iliac fossa, which looks outwards, is deep; the iliac crest is convex anteriorly, the convexity is continued from one iliac spine to the other.
The foot thus moves in a circle, whose convexity is outward, a manner of flight called "paddling.
The third or solid refracting medium is a biconvex lens, with its convexity greatest on its posterior surface, which is lodged in a depression in the vitreous humor, while its anterior surface corresponds to the opening of the pupil.
He found the line of division, or the convexity of the ground, which slopes on each side towards the beds of the two rivers, to be only thirteen toises above the height of the Danube.
Myopy is chiefly caused by too great a convexity of the cornea and the crystalline lens, which causes the rays to converge to a focus, before they reach the retina.
He was the first who demonstrated that the degree of refraction suffered by light in passing through lenses, corresponds with the diameter of the circle of which the concavity or convexity is the portion of an arch.
Presbyopy is principally caused by too little convexity of the cornea and crystalline lens, which throws the focal point of rays reflected from near objects, beyond the retina.
This convexity is rendered possible by the support afforded by the basal edges of the six midribs.
Shell with fine longitudinal ridges, ornamented in the lower part by minute beads; parietes not porose: basal membrane equalling in convexity the shell.
In the carinal margin, in the upper part, there is a remarkable convexity or protuberance in the same plane with the valve, from which it is separated by a very slight and narrow ridge.
The shell is generally much depressed, though sometimes, in large specimens, from the turning in of the basal edges, a considerable degree of convexity is acquired.
The convexity of the fruit next the base and the apex is the same.
They are mostly the ideal of a handsomely shaped apple; in them the convexity or bulge of the middle of the apple towards the eye is the same as that towards the stalk, or not much different.

Let us suppose that this convex scale is pulled out of shape from the interior, so that it is slightly flattened and as quickly released; it will immediately regain its original convexity owing to the elasticity of the nervures.
The case of short-sighted persons arises from too great a convexity of the eye, which makes a very near focus; and that of old people is a flattening of the eye, by which the focus is thrown to a greater distance.
