Unilateral
Unilateral refers to something that is done, exists, or affects only one side. It is a term used in various fields such as medicine, law, politics, and biology.
Medicine[edit]
In medicine, unilateral refers to something that occurs on, or affects only one side of the body. For example, a unilateral headache affects only one side of the head. Unilateral conditions can be contrasted with bilateral conditions, which affect both sides of the body.
Law[edit]

Biology[edit]
In biology, unilateral refers to structures or processes that occur on or affect only one side of an organism. For example, unilateral flowers are flowers that face in one direction.
