WHAT DOES DECUSSATELY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

decussately

Decussation

Decussation is used in biological contexts to describe a crossing. In anatomy the term chiasma or chiasm means much the same as decussation. Examples include: ▪ In the brain, where nerve fibers obliquely cross from one lateral part to the other, that is to say they cross at a level other than their origin. See for example Decussation of pyramids. Decussation describes the point where the nerves cross from one side of the brain to the other, and typically the nerves from the left side of the body decussate to the right side of the brain and the nerves from the right side of the body decussate to the left brain, however depending on the function of the nerves the level of decussation is variable. ▪ In phyllotaxis when an opposite pattern of leaves has successive leaf pairs that are at right angles to each other, it is called decussate. In effect, successive pairs of leaves cross each other. Decussate phyllotaxis of Crassula rupestris ▪ In tooth enamel, where bundles of rods cross each other as they travel from the enamel-dentine junction to the outer enamel surface, or near to it.
