in contrast with the relatively greaseless lower surface of the chin and jaws. The skin of the chest, pubic region, scalp, axillae, abdomen, soles of the feet, and ends of the fingers varies as much structurally and functionally as it would if the skin in these different areas belonged to...
as in the Asian sloth bear. The claws on the front feet are usually better developed than those on the rear, and they are especially adapted for digging out small rodents or nutritious plant roots. The feet generally have hairless soles, but those of the polar bear are covered with hair,...
For each trial, the novice was instructed to walk forward 8 steps and collect the feet at the 9th step, starting with the right foot and ending with both feet side-by-side. To demonstrate that hand interactions intuitively influence walking, novices did not receive explicit instructions or trai...
the woman kissed him again; and she passed her hand down his body till she came to his feet; she held the right foot in her hand and felt the five small toes; and then slowly passed her hand over the left one. She gave a sob. ...
Females are slightly smaller, averaging 5 feet 2 inches in height and 119 to 141 pounds in weight. These figures vary from continent to continent, and country to country, because the environment affects human size.Interestingly, humans change heights over the course of a single day. We’re ...
Our legs act as our primary contact with the surrounding environment, generating external forces that enable agile motion. To be agile, the nervous system has to control both the magnitude of the force that the feet apply to the ground and the point of a
When walking, she probably used her feet more like a chimpanzee, keeping her weight along the outside of the foot rather than rolling it in ( pronating ) like a human. 22 Ardi also had short legs, and if she walked along the outside of her feet, then she might have walked with ...

These authors estimated, by simulating the loads experienced during running in cadaver feet, that approximately 17% of the mechanical work of running could be stored and returned by the foot's arch as it undergoes compression and recoil over the stance phase5 and that this contributes to the ...
