mass nounMedicine

1Excessive inward curvature of the spine.
〔医〕脊柱前凸（症）。比较KYPHOSIS
Compare with kyphosis
Example sentencesExamples
- The Thomas test will help to identify the presence of a hip flexion contracture by eliminating the effects of excessive lumbar lordosis on the perceived extension of the hip.
- The anatomical position of her spine could not be viewed optimally because of the pronounced lordosis, and this could prolong the procedure.
- Participants who find their backs are excessively arched may find it easier to place their feet on the edge of the bench, which will help to reduce their lordosis.
- A side view of a normal spinal column demonstrates reciprocal curves, beginning with cervical lordosis and then lumbar lordosis.
- Patients develop thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis as vertebral height is lost.
1. 1.1 A posture assumed by some female mammals during mating, in which the back is arched downward.
  （某些雌性动物交配时的）凹背姿势
  Example sentencesExamples
  These hormonal effects have been demonstrated most clearly for reproductive behaviors, such as the mounting of female animals by males and the receptive lordosis posture adopted by females in response to these mounts.
  The expression of the lordosis posture is under tonic inhibition by brain nuclei whose activity is suppressed by steroid hormones from the preovulatory follicles.
  Other postcopulatory calls function in prolonging lordosis of the mated female, attracting other females or deterring males.
  The limitation is, particularly in female mice, is all you can study is lordosis, or the posturing of the female mouse receptive to male sexual function.

Derivatives

lordotic

adjective lɔːˈdɒtɪk

To maintain a lordotic curve, many authorities now recommend moderate lordotic support by use of a long round pillow called a lumbar roll.
Example sentencesExamples
- The lateral view provides a good image of the vertebral bodies, facet joints, lordotic curves, disc space height, and intervertebral foramen.
- A lordotic chest x-ray was obtained, to determine if the lesion was in the lung or the rib.
- Radiographs may show pre-existing degenerative changes or a slight flattening of the lordotic curvature of the neck.
- Since the lumbar lordotic curvature is maximal in this midline area, the midline retroperitoneal structures lie far forward and are very accessible.

Origin

Early 18th century: modern Latin, from Greek lordōsis, from lordos 'bent backwards'.
