A straight line, real or imaginary, passing through a body,
on which it revolves, or may be supposed to revolve; a line
passing through a body or system around which the parts are
symmetrically arranged.
2. (Math.) A straight line with respect to which the
different parts of a magnitude are symmetrically arranged;
as, the axis of a cylinder, i. e., the axis of a cone,
that is, the straight line joining the vertex and the
center of the base; the axis of a circle, any straight
line passing through the center.

support, on which organs or parts are arranged; the
central line of any body. --Gray.
4. (Anat.)
(a) The second vertebra of the neck, or vertebra
dentata.

prolonged anteriorly within the foramen of the first
vertebra or atlas, so as to form the odontoid process

describing the position of the planes by which a crystal
is bounded.

axis, when cutting them at right angles, in which case it
divides the curve into two symmetrical portions, as in the

two, or the circle, which has an infinite number. The two
