Research Results For 'ALA'

BAHMANI

The Bahmani were a dynasty of sultans of the Deccan plateau in central India from 1347 to 1518. The dynasty was founded by Ala-ud-din Bahman Shah, who in 1347 rebelled against his Delhi suzerain. His successors expanded over the west-central Deccan, reaching a peak in the late 15th century under Mahmud Gawan, who successfully held encroaching Hindu and Muslim powers at bay. During the early 16th century the Hindu empire of Vijayanagar to the south expanded at the Bahmanis' expense, and between 1490 and 1518 the sultanate gradually dissolved into five successor Muslim states, Bijapur, Ahmadnagar, Golconda, Berar, and Bidar.

FACIAL ARTERY

The facial artery runs upward from the external carotid in the neck, beneath the stylohyoid muscle, and extends forward along the lower jaw bone on a line with the corners of the mouth. The artery then extends upward across the cheek and along the side of the nose and terminates at the inner canthus of the eye. The artery has many curves and bends to accommodate the movement of the cheeks, lips, and jaw. The facial artery has several branches and supplies the face, tonsils, palate, muscles of the lips, ala and dorsum of the nose, and the muscles of facial expression.

ILIAC CREST

The iliac crest marks the upper ridge of the broad ala, or wings, of the ilium. The iliac crest features an internal and external lip, with an intermediate line between the two.

ILIAC FOSSA

The iliac fossa is the broad, slightly concave inner surface of each ala, or win, or the ilium. The fossa, along with the pubis and ischium, create a basin in which the lower abdominal organs rest.

ILIUM

The ilium is one of the three pelvic bones fused together to form the pelvic girdle. It is the broad, flared portion which constitutes the upper and lateral sections of the pelvis. The ilium is distinct for its ala, or wings, which flare out on either side of the spinal column, resembling an airplane propeller when seen in the side view.
Research Ilium

ISCHIUM

The ischium is one of the three sections of bone which are fused in the adult to form the pelvis. The ischium bears the weight when sitting, and is attached to the pubis in front and to the ala, or wings, of the ilium laterally and to the back. The large openings in the ischium on either side of the pelvis, just below the pubis, are called the obturator foramina.
Research Ischium

PUBIS

The pubis is one of the three pelvic bones which fuse together to form the pelvic girdle. The pubis is located just to the front and below the bladder. In the center of the pubis is the symphysis, which marks a point of fusing of the two sides of the pubis. The pubis features two segments on each side of the symphysis pubis. These two segments are divided at the pubic tubercle. The upper segment is called the superior pubic ramus, and it joins with the ala, or wings, or the ilium. The lower of the two segments is called the inferior pubic ramus and it joins with the ischium of the pelvis.
Research Pubis

VOMER

The vomer is the thin, flat bone which forms the bottom and back portion of the bony septum in the nasal cavity. The vomer supports the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone, which forms the upper portion of this septum. The vomer extends past the palatine bone in the back of the mouth cavity, where its rearmost section, the ala, connects to the pterigoid process of the sphenoid bones and the forward section of the occipital bone, just in front of its basilar part.

CANT Z 506

The Cant Z 506 was an Italian 12/14 civil passenger transport and military reconnaissance bomber flying boat of the 1930s and Second World War. The military version, the Z 506B Airone was manned by a crew of three and powered by three 750 hp Alfa Romeo 126 RC.34 9-cylinder radial piston engines providing a top speed of 365 kmh and a range of 2745 km. Armaments consisted of one or two 7.7 mm machine-guns and a 12.7 mm machine-gun and either 1200 kg of bombs or a single torpedo. The civilian version, the Z 506A, was used by the Italian airline Ala Littoria, and was powered by three 750 hp Alfa Romeo 126 RC.34 radial engines and set speed records of 308.25 kmh, 319.78 kmh and 322.06 kmh and carried a payload of 2000 kg.
