This canal gradually widens to its ending, the abdominal mouth (ostium abdominal) by which it communicates with the peritoneal cavity, the timbrae.
Hence marriage had to be performed in the immediate vicinity of a church, ante ostium ecclesiæ.
Wherever the fertilized ovum remains and implants its villi the tube becomes turgid and swollen, and the abdominal ostium gradually closes.
When the inflammation is adjacent to the ostium it leads to the matting together of the tubal fimbriae and glues them to an adjacent organ.
When the abdominal ostium remains pervious the ovum may escape into the coelomic cavity (tubal abortion); death from shock and haemorrhage into the abdominal cavity may result.
When in consequence of the sealing of the ostium the tube becomes distended with serous fluid it is termed hydrosalpinx.
Another doorway in the cloister is also spoken of in the same document; "Ostium versus capellam Beatae Virginis in claustro propter cameram necessariam.
But the existence of the cloister is proved by the mention of either, and it is equally odd to call either of them "magnum ostium ecclesiae.
The door of which I speak is described as "magnum ostium ecclesiae sub campanili versus claustrum.
Mention is also made of "duo ostia de la Karole, ex utraque parte chori," one of which is further described as "ostium de la Karole versus librariam.
At first it does not quite reach the endocardial cushions in the auricular canal, already mentioned, but leaves a gap, called the ostium primum, between.
This has nothing to do with the foramen ovale, which occurs as an independent perforation higher up, and at first is known as the ostium secundum.
When it is established the septum primum grows down and meets the endocardial cushions, and so the ostium primum is obliterated.
The really favouring factor in the case is the condition of the cœlomic ostium of the tube.
This will bring the anterior wall of the sinus with its ostiuminto view.
If discharge be not escaping the ostium may be only a potential and not an actual orifice--like that of the meatus urinarius--and has then to be more carefully sought for and detected with a probe.
With the help of cocaine the ostium can then be enlarged with various instruments.
The cœlomic ostium of the tube is unoccluded and is in the process of slowly engulfing the fimbriæ.
In very rare instances the cœlomic ostium is occluded: in this happy circumstance a fairly long freedom from recurrence may be hoped for.
The cœlomic ostium is open and the cancerous material has leaked out on to the cyst wall.
In acute cases of salpingitis the cœlomic ostium is open and the infective material can be seen leaking from it (Fig.
A woman, forty-nine years of age, had a large fibroid in her uterus and a Fallopian tube stuffed with cancer, but the cœlomic ostium was completely occluded.
Caseous matter has exuded through the cœlomic ostium of the tube and become encapsuled.
A canula is then inserted in a sloping direction inwards and upwards diagonally across the plane of the middle turbinal until it impinges on the nasal surface of the sphenoid, in the neighbourhood of the ostium (Fig.
In this instance the cyst was as big as a cocoa-nut and multilocular: the ampulla of the tube is stuffed with cancer, but the ostium is patent and a ‘stream’ of cancerous material has flowed over the wall of the cyst.
If the naturalostium sphenoidale be not visible it would be risky to make an artificial opening without first determining by radiography the presence and size of the sinus.
If this plan be not successful, the ostium sphenoidale can more certainly be discovered in the following way.
The removal of the middle turbinated bone permits of inspection of the ostium sphenoidale by anterior rhinoscopy, and pus may be seen escaping from the orifice.
The nasal appearances just noted are present, and if the sphenoidal sinus can be washed out and its ostium temporarily plugged, and pus rapidly reappears, its origin from these cells is probable.
And he quotes the saying of a disappointed bridegroom : “Ostium apertum inveni.
This opening is called the ostium abdominale, or abdominal mouth, because it communicates freely with the abdominal cavity.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "ostium" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: canal; duct; intestine; pore; vagina; vessel
