Except for the remote danger of clot formation on the uneven or eroded spot, these places are of no special significance, and are not to be confused with the atheroma of nodular sclerosis.
The palpable arteries are usually beaded or even encircled with calcareous deposits and the aorta is the seat of an extensive nodular and ulcerating sclerosis.
Rather contrary to what one would expect, there are no new capillaries advancing from the media to the intima in the nodular form of arteriosclerosis, consequently there is no granulation tissue to heal and leave scars.
In this group there is marked hypertrophy and moderate dilatation of the left ventricle with dilatation and nodular sclerosis of the aorta.
The nodular type, however, may occur in the aorta alone, the branches remaining free.
The character of the changes which are known as diffuse arteriosclerosis seems to have, at first sight, little in common with those of the nodular sclerosis.
The aorta may or may not have plaques of nodular sclerosis, while the arteries, such as the radial or temporal, may be beaded or pipe stem in hardness.
In the nodular form the lesions are found on the aorta and large branches particularly at or near the orifices of branching vessels.
Arthritis Deformans of Hands, showing symmetry of lesions, ulnar deviation of fingers, and nodular thickening at inter-phalangeal joints.
They are pearly white in colour, pitted and nodular on the surface, rarely larger than a pea, although when compressed they may cake into masses of considerable size.
They are at first discrete and movable, and may even vary in size from time to time; but with the addition of peri-adenitis they become fixed and matted together, forming lobulated or nodular masses (Fig.
The accumulation of urates may result in the formation of visible nodular swellings, varying in size from a pea to a cherry, attached to the tendon and moving with it.
In the joints of the fingers the disease is remarkably symmetrical, and tends to assume a nodular type (Heberden's nodes) (Fig.
Here, too, infection takes place through a broken cutaneous surface, and leads to a superficial lymphangitis with nodular thickening of the lymphatics (farcy buds).
Gummatous disease in the periosteum may be localised and result in the formation of a well-defined node, or the whole shaft may become the seat of an irregular nodular enlargement (Fig.
While in the nodular stage the affection is sometimes painful, but with the formation of the ulcer the pain subsides.
Fibrous tissue or cartilage may form in one or more of the fatty fringes and give rise to hard nodular masses, which may attain a considerable size, and in course of time may undergo ossification.
Professor Goldenberg published, in 1854, descriptions of no less than twelve species of insects from thenodular clay-ironstone of Saarbruck, near Treves.
Usually they occur as massive or nodular limestones, underlaid by a fine shale or flag-stone; and in other cases, as in the noted Denbighshire sandstones, as a coarse grit of very great thickness.

In Squalodon the nasal bones were of the modern nodular type, but in the Miocene Patagonian Prosqualodon they partially covered the nasal chamber.
It is more constant in character, and more typically chalky than the lower stages; flints are abundant, and harder nodular beds are limited to the lower portions, where some of the compact limestones are known as "chalk rock.
The whole is more compact than the upper stage, and nodular layers are more frequent--the "chalk rock" of Dorset and the Isle of Wight belong to this stage.
Those nodular bodies or figured parts which are here inclosed in the rock, are evidently what may be called calcedony agates.

They all agree in the nodular or concretionary character of the obsidian, and of the passage of these nodules into layers.

Papillary orNodular Tubercle of the Synovial Membrane.
It is of slow growth and painless, and forms a rounded, nodular swelling, the consistence of which varies with its structure.
Sometimes the surface presents a warty growth; sometimes it is excavated, forming a deep ulcer with raised nodular edges; in other cases the ulcer is smooth, and its edges even and rounded.
In the first of these the swelling is nodular and less uniform, and there may be tertiary ulcers or depressed scars in the neighbourhood of the patella.
It is characterized by swelling and the formation of tubercular or nodular lesions which break down and form the external openings of sinuses which lead to the interior of the affected part.

The associated development of tracheal nodular enchondromata has been described.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "nodular" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: gnarled; knobbed; knobby; knotted; knotty; knurled; lumpy; nodular; studded; tubercular; tuberous
