The right margin of the esophagus is continuous with the lesser curvature of the stomach, while the left margin joins the greater curvature at an acute angle, termed the incisura cardiaca. From Wordnik.com. [XI. Splanchnology. 1F. The Stomach] Reference
The Radial Notch (incisura radialis; lesser sigmoid cavity). From Wordnik.com. [II. Osteology. 6a. 4. The Ulna] Reference
The Semilunar Notch (incisura semilunaris; greater sigmoid cavity). From Wordnik.com. [II. Osteology. 6a. 4. The Ulna] Reference
Its anterior border is free and concave, and bounds a large oval opening, the incisura tentorii, for the transmission of the cerebral peduncles. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 4g. The Meninges of the Brain and Medulla Spinalis] Reference
On the ventricular surface of the cerebellar lamina a transverse furrow, the incisura fastigii, appears, and deepens to form the tent-like recess of the roof of the fourth ventricle. From Wordnik.com. [IX. Neurology. 2. Development of the Nervous System] Reference
Starting from the cardiac orifice at the incisura cardiaca, it forms an arch backward, upward, and to the left; the highest point of the convexity is on a level with the sixth left costal cartilage. From Wordnik.com. [XI. Splanchnology. 1F. The Stomach] Reference
Cranial to the lateral condyle is a small process, the cranio-lateral process, which is directed cranio-distally, over hanging the cranio-lateral face of the shaft and bordering the medial side of the incisura tibialis. From Wordnik.com. [PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles] Reference
A plane passing through the incisura angularis on the lesser curvature and the left limit of the opposed dilatation on the greater curvature divides the stomach into a left portion or body and a right or pyloric portion. From Wordnik.com. [XI. Splanchnology. 1F. The Stomach] Reference
Nearer its pyloric than its cardiac end is a well-marked notch, the incisura angularis, which varies somewhat in position with the state of distension of the viscus; it serves to separate the stomach into a right and a left portion. From Wordnik.com. [XI. Splanchnology. 1F. The Stomach] Reference
To the left of the cardiac orifice is the incisura cardiaca: the projection of this notch into the cavity of the stomach increases as the organ distends, and has been supposed to act as a valve preventing regurgitation into the esophagus. From Wordnik.com. [XI. Splanchnology. 1F. The Stomach] Reference
The anterior descending branch passes at first behind the pulmonary artery and then comes forward between that vessel and the left auricula to reach the anterior longitudinal sulcus, along which it descends to the incisura apicis cordis; it gives branches to both ventricles. From Wordnik.com. [VI. The Arteries. 2. The Aorta] Reference
In the pyloric portion are seen: (a) the elevation corresponding to the incisura angularis, and (b) the circular projection from the duodenopyloric constriction which forms the pyloric valve; the separation of the pyloric antrum from the rest of the pyloric part is scarcely indicated.
