A short tubular device made of wire mesh or fabric that is placed permanently in an anatomical passage, usually an artery during angioplasty, to keep it open after occlusion. Shunt To evade by putting aside or ignoring Urgent problems that society can no longer shunt aside. Stent A slender tu...
This is subject to debate. Some clinicians prefer the idea that centric relation occurs in an 'uppermost and midmost' position within the glenoid fossa; whereas very few people now support the idea that it is in an 'uppermost and rearmost' position. There is support for the uppermost and ...
I didn't even realize that I could move my pinky finger and toe outward like that. I wonder what is the anatomical need for this muscle and movement? I mean, if we didn't have the abductor digiti minimi muscles, how would our movement be restrained?
This up and down motion can put the player at risk for torn hand tendons. They can usually recover by taking some time off from play, or playing a little with a splint in place. Actually I think that if you sustain such an injury then playing with a splint is asking for more trouble...
it fits into my blog’s category of rant-like perambulations, which tend to share an ancestral trait of being about something broader than freezer-based anatomical research. As such, it is far from a well-thought-out product. It is very much a thought-in-progress; ideal for a blog post...
getting very accurate data, using the big question (in my and others’ research) about how much more slowly big animals can move relative to smaller ones as an example. As a final anatomical post this blog-year, I wrote about the biceps muscle, and people seemed to like that, so I ...
