Crossword-Solution: FORAMINA 8 letters, 1 clue 🏆 scrabble score: 13

When you come to handle life and death as your daily business, your memory will of itself bid good-by to such inmates as the well-known foramina of the sphenoid bone and the familiar oxides of methyl-ethylamyl-phenyl-ammonium.

The super and infra orbital foramina are very large, and the orbits are broad, with the orbital ridge sharp and prominent.

All the foramina for the transmission of the sensiferous nerves are large, the auditory particularly so; while the foramen, through which the carotid artery enters the skull, is small.

The nerve trunks make their way out of the spinal canal through apertures between the vertebra, called the _inter-vertebral foramina_ and then divide into numerous branches, their ramifications extending principally to the muscles and the skin.

What is really interesting in this exposition is that Lucretius ascribes to nature the volition ('convertebat ibi natura foramina terræ;' 'quoniam natura absterruit auctum') which has recently been attributed by materialistic speculators to the same maternal power.
