    A high-arched palate (also termed high-vaulted palate) is where the palate is unusually high and narrow. It is usually a congenital developmental feature that results from the failure of the palatal shelves to fuse correctly in development, the same phenomenon that leads to cleft palate . [ 1 ]

  5. Semicircular arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicircular_arch

    The rise (height) of a round arch is limited to 1 ⁄ 2 of its span, [7] so it looks more "grounded" than a parabolic arch [3] or a pointed arch. [7] Whenever a higher semicircular arch was required (for example, for a narrow arch to match the height of a nearby broad one), either stilting or horseshoe shape were used, thus creating a stilted arch and horseshoe arch respectively. [8]

    An arch is generated by the revolution of a point or a surface around a centre (or, from a mechanical standpoint it can be thought as a section of a vault); A Vault is generated by the extrusion of an arched surface; A Dome is generated by the revolution of an arched surface around an axis.

  7. Right-sided aortic arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-sided_aortic_arch

    Right-sided aortic arch is a rare anatomical variant in which the aortic arch is on the right side rather than on the left. During normal embryonic development, the aortic arch is formed by the left fourth aortic arch and the left dorsal aorta. In people with a right-sided aortic arch, instead the right dorsal aorta persists and the distal left ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpenter_syndrome

    An abnormally highly arched palate is also seen in affected individuals causing dental problems and the thrusting forward of the lower jaw. Individuals affected by Carpenter syndrome often experience cutaneous syndactyly (fusion of the digits) or polydactyly (presence of extra digits) of the toes more often than fingers.

  9. Romanesque architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanesque_architecture

    Narrow doors and small windows might be surmounted by a solid stone lintel. Larger openings are nearly always arched. A characteristic feature of Romanesque architecture, both ecclesiastic and domestic, is the pairing of two arched windows or arcade openings, separated by a pillar or colonette and often set within a larger arch.
