dextrorse (medicine)


dextrorse


Turning from the left to the right, in the ascending line, as in the spiral inclination of the stem of the common morning-glory.

at present scientists predicate dextrorse or sinistrorse quality of the plant regarded objectively; formerly the plant was regarded subjectively, and what is now called dextrorse was then considered sinistrorse.

Origin: L. Dextrorsum, contr. Fr. Dextrovorsum, dextroversum, toward the right side; dexter right + versus, vorsus, p. P. Of vertere, vortere, to turn.
