flexure

Preposition: of

• colon: The right kidney may be directly invaded by a tumor in the hepatic flexure of the colon.
• lithosphere: Flexure of Venusian lithosphere measured from residual topography and gravity.

Converse of object

• cause: A loop of thin thread only one-sixteenth of a grain in weight caused a temporary flexure.

Adjective modifier

• splenic: The colon then goes downhill via a bend called the splenic flexure.
• hepatic: The lower margin should be visible behind the hepatic flexure, looping down medial to the upper pole of the kidney.
• differential: This would give rise to differential flexure and expansion of the instrument as its various parts cooled at different rates during the following night.
• significant: Further, there is significant flexure between GMOS and the PWFSs, thus the PWFSs should not currently be used with GMOS.
