femoris,femur,thighbone- the longest and thickest bone of the human skeleton; extends from the pelvis to the knee endoskeleton- the internal skeleton; bony and cartilaginous structure (especially of vertebrates) calf bone,fibula- the outer and thinner of the two bones of the human leg between ...

A number of factors are known to influence normal bone development in fast growing meat birds as well as laying hens. Interestingly, the incidence of leg problems is generally higher in males than in females. Nutrition, genetics, sex of the bird and growth rate, all play a major role in ...
a.one of the structures composing the skeleton of a vertebrate. b.the hard connective tissue forming these structures, composed of cells enclosed in a calcified matrix. 2.such a structure from an edible animal, usu. with meat adhering to it, as an article of food:a ham bone. ...
It is known that metallic elements are important for maintaining normal bone structure, but their roles are not well understood. More information about the effects of metal excess or deficiency is needed to help in the development of metallic bone implants and to improve the treatment of bone ...
Bone remodeling, continuing process of synthesis and destruction that gives bone its mature structure and maintains normal calcium levels in the body. Destruction, or resorption, of bone by large cells called osteoclasts releases calcium into the bloodst
The equine hoof is a keratinized structure that surrounds the 3rd phalanx in each foot. The major structures include the distal 2nd phalanx, navicular bone, 3rd phalanx (also known as the “coffin bone”), distal interphalangeal joint (also known as the “coffin joint”), navicular bursa, ...
space.The team used high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography, or HR-pQCT, which can measure 3-D bone microarchitecture on scales of 61 microns, finer than the thickness of human hair, to image the bone structure of the tibia in the lower leg and the radius in the lower ...
The 3D bone models generated from CT data (CT bone models) are widely used in orthopedics for (1) visually inspecting bone morphology and joint structure and (2) quantitatively evaluating various pathological conditions. For example of (3), CT-based navigation systems have been established as an...
The present paper is concerned with the relationship of breast development in girls to the growth of fat muscle and bone in the leg. In broader terms it is thus a study of the relationships between sexual maturation and body structure as they are reflected by a single maturational criterion ...
