1. Anatomy

The supracranial sutures are the joints that form between the bones of the skull above the cranium, in the region of the forehead.

2. Medicine

In orthopedic surgery, the supracranial approach is a technique used to access the cranial cavity through the sinuses and the roof of the mouth.

3. Neurosurgery

The supracranial part of the lesion was removed through a craniotomy, allowing the surgeons to access the deeper brain structures.

4. Dentistry

Suprachiasmic

Suprachoroidal

Supraclavian

The term "supraclavian" refers to something that is situated above or related to the clavicle (collarbone). In anatomy, it can be used to describe structures that are located above the clavicle, such as the supraclavicular region (the area above the collarbone), the supraclavicular fascia (a layer of tissue above the collarbone), or even pathological conditions (such as supraclavicular lymph nodes) that occur in this location.

Supraclavicle

The term "supraclavicle" refers to something that is above the clavicle, or collarbone. In human anatomy, the supraclavicular region is the area located above the clavicle, covering parts of the thorax (chest) and shoulder. This region is also known as the supraclavicular fossa or simply the supraclavicular area. In medical contexts, the term can refer to visible or palpable structures within this area, such as the costoclavicular ligament, blood vessels, nerves, and the subclavian vessels and arteries. The subclavian artery and vein run through the supraclavicular region, just above the first rib, to supply blood to the arms. This area can also be relevant in medical imaging and anatomical studies. The supraclavicular space, often referred to in surgical or medical contexts, can be used to describe either the anatomical space or a surgical approach.ANCEL

Supraclavicular

Supracondylar

Above a condyle. In human anatomy, specifically in the field of orthopedics and surgery, the term "supracondylar" refers to something that is above a condyle. A condyle is a rounded part of a bone that forms a joint. In medical contexts, the term is often used to describe fractures or injuries that occur in the area just above the condyloid joint in the elbow (humerus). Surgeons and medical professionals use this term to specifically identify the location and type of injury or condition being treated. For example: A supracondylar fracture is a serious break in the humerus bone above the elbow joint. This type of fracture is common in children and requires prompt medical attention to prevent complications.

Supracondyloid

Above the elbow. This term is used to describe an area in the human body, specifically in anatomy, where something is located above the condyles of the humerus (the bone of the upper arm), which are the lower end of the upper arm bone that forms the elbow joint.

Supracostal

Above the costal or diaphragm

Supracretaceous

The supracretaceous is a stratigraphic term that refers to a geologic time period and a lithostratigraphic unit. It represents the uppermost part of the Mesozoic Era's upper series, immediately above the Cretaceous period. The supracretaceous includes rocks deposited during the last few millions of years of the Mesozoic Era and the beginning of the Paleogene period. The boundary between the Cretaceous and the Paleogene is marked by the so-called K-Pg (Kreide-Paläogen) or K-T (Cretaceous-Tertiary) boundary, which is characterized by a layer of iridium-rich continental deposits. The supracretaceous rocks are often characterized by clastic and mixed sedimentary deposits, such as shales, limestones, and sandstones, which accumulated in a variety of marine and terrestrial environments. These rocks may include fossils of the first flowering plants, the first mammals, and other transitional forms that characterized the termination of the Mesozoic Era.

Supradyn

Supraesophageal

Above the esophagus. Located above the esophagus, as in the brainstem (supraesophageal ganglion).

Suprafascial

Suprageniculate

Supragingival

Supraglenoid

Supraglottal

The term "supraglottal" refers to structures or objects located above the glottis, which is the space between the vocal folds in the larynx (voice box) of the throat. In phonetics, supraglottal refers to sounds or articulations that are produced above the glottis, usually involving the tongue or lips. Examples include: Stops (e.g., /p/, /t/, /k/) Fricatives (e.g., /s/, /f/, /v/) Approximants (e.g., /j/, /l/, /r/) Nasals (e.g., /m/, /n/, /ŋ/) In respiratory medicine, supraglottal refers to structures or areas located above the glottis, such as the supraglottic airway, which is used in endotracheal intubation and other medical procedures.
