OK, WOW! I wonder who asked this? It has to be a dental professional or student, right?
OK, I'm just taking a whack at this question, I'm not going to bother to bust out my old dental anatomy textbook so here goes:
From one aspect the PDL space would be bordered by the alveolar bone of the mandible or maxilla (depending which arch the tooth is located in) and from the other aspect the PDL space would be bordered by the root of the tooth, or more specifically the cementum.....or even more specifically desmisomes and hemidesmisomes. OK....now I'm just nerding out and I REALLY need to go to bed and not stay up all night answering dental questions.

What is difference between mid point of inguinal ligament and mid inguinal point?
The midpoint of the inguinal ligament and the mid-inguinal point are two different anatomical landmarks in the inguinal region. In order to understand the difference, some simple anatomical knowledge must be clarified.The inguinal ligament stretches from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to the pubic tubercle. The pubic symphysis lies just medial to the pubic tubercle and is the fibrous joint between the two halves of the pelvis.Running under the inguinal ligament from medial to lateral are: femoral canal (a potential space that contains mainly lymphatics), femoral vein, femoral artery and femoral nerve.The midpoint of the inguinal ligament is half way between the ASIS and the pubic tubercle and is the location of the femoral nerve. This landmark is used in femoral nerve blocks.The mid-inguinal point is half way between the ASIS and the pubic symphysis and is the location of the femoral artery. This landmark is used in palpation of the femoral pulse.In relation to each other, the mid-inguinal point is more medial than the midpoint of the inguinal ligament.
What is the definition of Anatomical structures?

What is difference between anatomical dead space and phyiological dead space?
ANATOMICAL DEAD SPACEThe volume of the conducting airways of the nose,mouth,trachea down to the level of alveoli representing dead portion of inspired gas unavailable of exchange of gases with pulmonary capilary blood. PHYSIOLOGICAL DEAD SPACEIt is the combination of anatomical dead space and alveolar dead space.where as alveolar dead space is the space occupied by gas which is transported to the alveoli but does not meet blood across the alveolar capillary membrane.
