Re: Anatomical terms

I could fathom a guess at a few of these, but the only term I'm familiar enough with that I don't have to look it up is the parietal bar. This is the bone seen running up the midline of frill in ceratopsians like _Chasmosaurus_. I don't believe the term refers to the "crossbar" running across the top of the frill, although that too is the parietal.

There are a few anatomical terms I'm having great difficulty finding definitions for. Hopefully one of the anatomy wizards on the list can help out?
autopidal
jugomaxillar arch
nasolacrimal crest
neural pedicle
nuchal ring
os carre
parietal bar
paraoccipital wing
transversum
pubic plate
ischial foot
pneumatopore
internarial bar
sacrocostal (yoke)
postmedian ( I thought I could guess this, but when I found very odd dictionary definitions like "posterior to the median plane", I decided to ask elsewhere!)

thanks in advance
