Definition of plication in English: plicationnoun plʌɪˈkeɪʃ(ə)nplɪˈkeɪʃ(ə)nplaɪˈkeɪʃən 1A fold or corrugation. Example sentencesExamples - In some specimens of this species the shell plications may be grooved (divided by two grooves) due to abrasion of the shell, as first noted by Fenton and Fenton.
- Micro-pustules, both in grooves and on plications, are the most common type of micro-ornament.
- The shell possesses a sulcus on the ventral valve and a corresponding fold on the dorsal valve and several weak plications on flanks.
- Many of these forms had high cardinal areas and coarse plications, although others were much more like conventional spiriferids.
- Strong radiating ribs are common in this group, and there are generally very strong plications or accordion like folds on the sulcus (the long middle section) of the shell.
- Cyrtospirifer ‘sinensis’ differs from C. placitus by its flat ventral interarea and smaller number of sinal plications.
- Some shells develop up to two lateral sinal plications, but in most lateral sinal plications are lacking.
- Some species of Tongzithyris have one to two pairs of plications.
- A small minority of the Atrypacea have smooth shells, others being rather finely costate or having medium to coarse plications.
- The ability to perform this procedure without thoracotomy minimized his hospital stay and recovery time while not compromising the integrity of the plication.
Synonyms fold, tuck, crease, gather, pucker, crimp - 1.1mass noun The manner of folding or condition of being folded.
Example sentencesExamples - Our patients who did not undergo bilateral plication showed a similar pattern.
- Surgical therapy in the form of diaphragmatic plication is often reluctantly considered because of the potential morbidity and disability associated with thoracotomy.
- A technique has been described for arthroscopic plication of the rotator interval, but this was not used in our series of patients.
- Recently, we have begun to perform arthroscopic capsular plication in patients with significant capsule redundancy and laxity.
- With bilateral paralysis, bilateral plication improves the efficiency of the rib cage muscles in generating tidal volume.
- They are especially characteristic of many temperate trees where plication occurs between secondary veins before formation of tertiary veins in the bud.
