orbital gyri (medicine) and scoria (sh)


orbital gyri (medicine)


orbital gyri


A number of small, irregular convolutions occupying the concave inferior surface of each frontal lobe of the cerebrum.

scoria (sh)




Heavy, dark, glassy igneous rock that contains many bubblelike cavities.

Foamlike scoria, in which the bubbles are very thin shells of solidified basaltic magma, occurs as a product of explosive eruptions (as on Hawaii) and as frothy crusts on some lavas. Other scoria, sometimes called volcanic cinder, resembles clinkers, or cinders from a coal furnace.
