The word "orifice" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it to refer to a hole or opening, especially one that is part of a bodily organ or structure. For example: "The orifice of the stomach serves as the entryway to the digestive system."
One way to keep costs down but to enable triangulation could simply be to insert devices through more than one natural orifice, he says.
Successful copulation among spiders requires the pedipalp located on the right side of the male's abdomen to align with the female orifice located to her right and vice versa.
"We have to create instruments that allow us to do the same thing," he says.With NOTES, however, all the instruments have to be fed in parallel through a single orifice, and then through a single internal incision.
Another is endoscopy the process by which doctors insert a camera into someone through an orifice to perform an internal examination.
They seem to have subverted a male trick that is intended to ensure paternity rights, and turned it into a trap.Many animals not just spiders make plugs of mucus to seal the female's orifice after mating.
Take those "plug-and-play" devices, such as printers and digital cameras, that any personal computer (PC) allegedly recognises automatically as soon as they are plugged into an orifice called a USB port at the back of the PC.
It may sound too good to be true, but a radical improvement in surgery is the promise held out by a new technique, called "natural-orifice translumenal endosurgery", or NOTES.
(Proverbial or not, the gnats you find or rather the gnats that find you, in buzzing, teeming, orifice-invading droves south of the line are a far hungrier and more savage breed than their northern cousins).
During insertion these devices are cylindrical in shape, but they then unfurl two opposable arms for grasping and cauterising, and two cameras to give the surgeon stereoscopic vision.The tiny devices, which are called natural-orifice miniature robots, are tethered to allow the surgeon to control them and to provide power (though Dr Oleynikov has developed wireless versions, too).
This was her, arching her body in a bronze hoop; her as a splayed, bug-eyed rabbit; her as a torso with orifices, like leaves, down her spine.
Rather than operating on the abdomen by making incisions in the skin, it involves passing flexible instruments through the body's orifices and entering the abdomen from the inside.One of the most widely studied approaches is "transgastric" surgery, in which the instruments are passed through the mouth and into the stomach.
