Reference Reference information: Hi I can find nothing about "visceral surface" about the bones of the skull on any medical site. I have only found that "visceral surface" can = veins and arteries. So could they be talking about hard, raised veins and arteries??

Reference: superfície visceral Reference information: Oi Chris, tudo bem? Que mais me incomoda nesse texto é como a Liz falou, os adjetivos no plural. Minha interpretação é a seguinte: De acordo com o dicionário Aulete Virtual, víscera é Anat. Denominação comum aos órgãos situados no interior das cavidades abdominal, toráxica ou craniana. Ou seja, superfície visceral nada mais é do que "inner surface of the skull bones." The inner surfaces are whitish, elevated and hard. What i don't understand is why they are "elevated." |
