Theaxial skeletonforms the central axis of the body and includes the bones of the skull, ossicles of the middle ear, hyoid bone of the throat, vertebral column, and the thoracic cage (ribcage) (Figure 1). The function of the axial skeleton is to provide support and protection for the b...
A detailed investigation into axial elongation in actinopterygians found that the addition of vertebrae occurred in either the abdominal region, the caudal region, or both, and suggested these body regions were capable of independent evolution, be- ing organised into separate developmental modules [3...
armed forces, armed services, military, military machine, war machine - the military forces of a nation; "their military is the largest in the region"; "the military machine is the same one we faced in 1991 but now it is weaker" ground - a position to be won or defended in battle (...
The described region of the northeastern seas of Russia is characterized by numerous published structural tectonic schemes contained in the papers, the references to which can be found in our text, and the papers in the enclosed list of references. Under the conditions of a nonhomogeneous and poo...
Of or pertaining to an axis; of the nature of, or resembling, an axis; around an axis. To take on an axial, and not an equatorial, direction. Lateral Situated on one side or other of the body or of an organ, especially in the region furthest from the median plane. The medial side...
The last column in Table 4 shows the ratios of the measured and predicted flux-averaged total cross sections \(\sigma =\sigma _{\nu _{\mu }\text {H}_2\text {O}}^{\text {CC}0\pi }\) in the restricted region of the phase space. The experimental result of Ref. [144] is $$...
Destructive lesions involved both proximal sesamoid bones when examined radiographically and were situated primarily at the level of the mid-body and apical region of the axial borders. Some lesions were cystic, whereas others eroded the axial border more diffusely. Scintigraphy revealed markedly ...
The detailed anatomy of the skeleton and musculature of the thigh and tail region of the two Indian hedgehogs, Paraechinus micropus micropus Blyth and Hemiechinus auritus collaris Gray, is presented. Certain ratios between the different regions of the innominate are correlated with generic character...
Both genes act redundantly in the ventromedial region of the sclerotome, as in the Pax1/Pax9 double-mutant mice the development of the ventral vertebra is strongly affected (Peters et al., 1999). NKX3.2 appears to act downstream of Pax1/Pax9 and can be ectopically induced by PAX1 (Trib...
Functions of Cervical Region:The cervical region is an important region of the body. The main function of the cervical spine is to support the head and help maintain its upright position. Furthermore, this region assists in maintaining stability and control of the head, e...
