RE: vena ethmoidalis
The vena ethmoidalis, also known as the ethmoidal vein, refers to either of the two veins, anterior and posterior ethmoidal veins, that drain the ethmoidal sinus in the nose. These veins also receive blood from the frontal sinus and are part of the orbital venous system. The anterior ethmoidal vein empties usually into the ophthalmic vein, while the posterior ethmoidal vein drains usually into the superior ophthalmic vein.

RE: Silhouette
A silhouette (English: SIL-oo-ET, French: [silwɛt]) is the image of a person, animal, object or scene represented as a solid shape of a single colour, usually black, with its edges matching the outline of the subject. The interior of a silhouette is featureless, and the silhouette is usually presented on a light background, usually white, or none at all. The silhouette differs from an outline, which depicts the edge of an object in a linear form, while a silhouette appears as a solid shape. Silhouette images may be created in any visual artistic media, but were first used to describe pieces of cut paper, which were then stuck to a backing in a contrasting colour, and often framed.
Cutting portraits, generally in profile, from black card became popular in the mid-18th century, though the term silhouette was seldom used until the early decades of the 19th century, and the tradition has continued under this name into the 21st century. They represented a cheap but effective alternative to the portrait miniature, and skilled specialist artists could cut a high-quality bust portrait, by far the most common style, in a matter of minutes, working purely by eye. Other artists, especially from about 1790, drew an outline on paper, then painted it in, which could be equally quick.
From its original graphic meaning, the term silhouette has been extended to describe the sight or representation of a person, object or scene that is backlit, and appears dark against a lighter background. Anything that appears this way, for example, a figure standing backlit in a doorway, may be described as in silhouette. Because a silhouette emphasises the outline, the word has also been used in the fields of fashion and fitness to describe the shape of a persons body or the shape created by wearing clothing of a particular style or period. -
