ostiomeatal (os·tio·me·a·tal) (os”te-o-me-a´təl) [ostium + meatal] pertaining to an opening (ostium) and a meatus, especially in the nasal cavity. (it has nothing to do with bone --osteo--just the point where the area (complex) where the sinus ostia drain) hope that helps! :)

It's ostiomeatal. See Vera Pyle.
Subject: It's ostiomeatal. See Vera Pyle.

ostiomatal: denoting the opening of the auditory, nasal, or urinary meatus; does not have anything to do with osteo (bone). Vera Pyle, Current Medical Terminology, 5th Edition.

The root word is ostium, which is certainly a word! It's in my Dorland's, and means: a door or opening; used in anatomical nomenclature as a general term to designate an opening into a tubular organ, or between 2 distinct cavities within the body. Called also orificuium, orifice, and opening.

Stedman's Plastic Surgery/ENT/Dentistry Words, 3rd Edition, specifically lists ostiomeatal complex, stent, and unit.

ostiomeatal (os·tio·me·a·tal) (os”te-o-me-a´təl) [ostium + meatal]  pertaining to an opening (ostium) and a meatus, especially in the nasal cavity.


mucoperiosteal (mu·co·peri·os·te·al) (mu”ko-per”e-os´te-əl)  consisting of mucous membrane and periosteum.


mucoperiosteum (mu·co·peri·os·te·um) (mu”ko-per”e-os´te-əm)  periosteum having a mucous surface, as in parts of the auditory apparatus.

I was text typing from Vera Pyle instead of looking at the screen. Oops.
Ostiomeatal or osteomeatal? Mucoperiosteal or mucoperiostial?
Subject: Ostiomeatal or osteomeatal? Mucoperiosteal or mucoperiostial?

I always typed "osteomeatal" until a coworker said a radiologist she worked for said it should be "ostiomeatal," referring to the ostium.


I know there is a periosteum, but when a radiologist says "mucoperiosteal," is he/she referring to the ostium or the periosteum?


I'm soooo confused....

correct = nicked (verb: to cut nick into)

onelook.com is a good dictionary source on-line.
Were is correct.
Subject: Were is correct.

As the word remainder represents a portion, the verb to use is determined by the noun in the "of phrase" that follows. In your case, "forms" is plural so use were.

This rule also applies for other "portion" words such as none, all, some, part, etc. Hope this helps.

PS: See 'The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation' by Jane Straus.
