What does nasal bone present mean? The presence of well-ossified nasalbone at this stage of gestation is a reassuring feature and helps in reducing the risk of aneuploidies for the fetus while absent or hypoplastic nasal bone is associated with increased risk of fetal aneuploidies. Is the nasal...
Roaring requires ‘incomplete ossification’ of thehyoid bone. The hyoid bone is a U-shaped bone in the throat that is connected to thelarynx(voice box). ‘Ossification’ is the formation of bone. A big cat’s hyoid bone is not completely ossified and is part tendon. Tendon is more flexi...
As a person who has very tall relatives, I can tell you that the size of a bone is not always going to be the best indication of the age of the person. I have a nephew who looks about the height of an eight year old, but he's only five at the moment. ...
What do the ossified tendons of an ornithopod suggest? What is flexion in anatomy? What muscles are attached to the sacrum? What is the patella? What is plantar flexion of the foot? Where is the Achilles tendon? What is the femur connected to?
called sutures that join cranial bones of the infant's head together, the two frontal bones, the two parietal bones, and the occipital bone. There are four fontanels but there are two main ones, the posterior and the anterior fontanel; they are temporary and are ossified as the baby develo...
What is the function of Costochondral joint? The costochondral joints are the joints between each rib and its costal cartilage. They are primary cartilaginous joints. These joints representthe demarcation of the unossified and ossified part of the rib1. ...
The giraffe’s horns are known as ossicones.These ossicones are actually cartilages hardened into bone (ossified cartilage covered in the skin). Both female and male giraffes have ossicones. The ossicones are present right from birth, making them the only mammal to have horns from birth....
And that is why I love visiting them, because every trip is an adventure into the unknown– you do not know what you will find. Like these random encounters I had in the collection’s shelves: Sectioned moa thigh bones, showing thick walls and spars of trabecular bone criss-crossing the...
The hindlimb of a Polish Silver Laced breed, nicely showing the ossified tendons (red arrow) along the tarsometatarsus. Why these tendons turn into bone is one of the great unsolved mysteries of bone biology/mechanics and avian evolution. Check out the famed feather crest of the Silver (Laced...
The shaft, or main part, of a bone, which is first ossified. Epiphysis (anatomy) The pineal gland. Diaphysis The main (mid) section of a long bone Epiphysis (skeleton) The rounded end of any long bone. Diaphysis Encloses the bone marrow cavity. The diaphysis' marrow cavity is the si...
