volute's Usage Examples:

This can lead to conversations which seem amazingly convoluted to the uninitiated.

When the refracting curve is a circle and the rays emanate from any point, the locus of the secondary caustic is a Cartesian oval, and the evolute of this curve is the required diacaustic.

The discovery of their true nature was made by Dr William Buckland, who observed that certain convoluted bodies occurring in the Lias of Gloucestershire had the form which would have been produced by their passage in the soft state through the intestines of reptiles or fishes.

The route was so convoluted that a cable was laid for people to follow.

As so great a part of the whole surface of the kidney lies adjacent to external surfaces of the body, the remaining part which faces the internal organs is small; it consists of the left part of the under surface; it is level with the floor of the pericardium, and lies over the globular mass formed by the liver and convoluted intestine.

This result, which is exact for involute teeth, is approximately true for teeth of any figure.

Consequently, one of the forms suitable for the teeth of wheels is the involute of a circle; and the obliquity of the action of such teeth is the angle whose cosine is the ratio of the radius of their base-circle to that of the pitch-circle of the wheel.

These drugs act by increasing sodium excretion in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron (8).

convoluted confusing story.

Crocket - column capital with stylized leaves with ends rolled like small volutes.

If the second medium be more highly refractive than the first, the secondary caustic is a hyperbola having the same focus and centre as before, and the caustic is the evolute of this curve.

It is some five feet long, ending at the top in a crook (volute) bent inwards, and made of metal, ivory or wood.

The segment that drains glomerular filtrate from the Bowman's capsule is the proximal convoluted tubule.
