General tone of upper parts darker; braincase significantly narrower; baculum shorter and markedly wider at base.
Skull medium in size; rostrum long and narrow; nasals long; auditory bullae slightly distended; braincase vaulted.
Skull of medium size; rostrum short and wide; nasals short; auditory bullae but slightly inflated; braincase but slightly vaulted.
However, the narrow braincase is more nearly like that of Proechimys than that of Hoplomys.
The rostrum gradually lengthens and the braincase appears to become less inflated.
The incisors are orthodont; the rostrum is short and the braincase is wide.
Allen) Figures 17-18 General tone of upper parts dark; size medium to large; skull of medium size; braincase narrowed.
This distal extension expands laterally in posterior sections as the braincase is increased to its maximum width at the mid-length of the orbit; the cartilaginous margin is retained throughout the length of the sphenethmoid.
At this level thebraincase is U-shaped in cross-section.
Anterior extension of supraorbital process present, and posterior extension free of braincase or leaving a slit between the process and braincase.
The posterior extensions of the supraorbital process are united to the braincase throughout most of their length as in Sylvilagus palustris.
Underside of tail white; posterior extension of supraorbital process tapering to a slender point, this point free of braincase or barely touching it and leaving a slit or long foramen Sylvilagus transitionalis, p.
I scanned its braincase until I found the area I wanted and inserted the probes, driving them through the heavy bone and into the brain beneath.
That big braincase held a smoothly functioning mind and a cold courage I could almost envy.
Skull: Braincase less inflated; nasals truncated posteriorly as opposed to rounded; zygomatic and mastoidal breadths less; rostrum shorter but narrower; upper incisors narrower and shorter.
New Mexico, show intergradation, in the shape of the nasals and incisive foramina, in the robustness of the zygomatic arch, and in the breadth of the braincase with a specimen of Zapus princeps princeps from Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico.
Greatest distance acrossbraincase taken perpendicular to long axis of skull.
Changes with age in the size of the braincase are slight.
The muscle usually arises from the epipterygoid and nearby areas of the braincase and skull roof and inserts in the anterior parts of the fossa of the jaw.
The size and rigidity of the braincase and palate, and the extent and rigidity of their contact with the skull.
Color darker; least width of braincase not equal to (usually more than) the distance from the alveolus of incisor to the anterior border of the alveolus of the first upper molar.
In young females the width of the braincaseis more than the distance between the alveoli of the incisor and first molar.
Skull: Sagittal crest absent in females and barely present in males; least width ofbraincase more than distance from alveolus of incisor to middle of lateral border of P^4 at alveolar border.
The anterior margin of the bulla is much less projected from the floor of the braincase in perotae.
In relation to the basilar length, the tympanic bulla is shorter and the braincase deeper than in males of anguinae.
In killing the pheasants the teeth of the upper jaw of the weasel pierced the top of the braincase and the teeth of the lower jaw entered the region of the auditory process.
Also, they are thrust far out of the braincase, thereby providing more room for the relatively larger brain which is protected by a more solidly built braincase than in erminea.
The skull is broken transversely through the interorbital region, transversely through the braincase and longitudinally through the basioccipital.
The marked postorbital constriction, convex supralacrymal face of rostrum, width of tympanic bullae and angularity of the braincase place it nearest M.
Relative to the basilar length, the orbitonasal length is more and the braincase is shallower as measured at the anterior end of the basioccipital.
Differences displayed by the specimen from Puebla are its slightly narrower braincase and longer space between the foramen ovale and anterior end of the tympanic bulla.
The distance from the dorsalmost part of the braincase to a flat plane touching tips of incisors and ventral border of each auditory bulla.
The skull is of the same size as that of Pipistrellus pipistrellus, but the braincase is narrower and more elongate, and the rostrum is very markedly shorter and broader.
Skull with broader, deeper braincasethan in the Bornean animal.
That part of the braincase immediately above posterior root of zygoma is more conspicuously inflated.
The braincase is nearly as broad as in the Bornean species, but the zygomatic width is distinctly less.
This specimen also has a narrower M2, and relatively and actually narrower braincase than other specimens (see measurements).
For example, in the specimen from Rancho Santa Rosa the interorbital region is lower, the braincase is less depressed near the fronto-parietal suture, the postorbital process is longer and more pointed, and the upper carnassial is longer.
El Barretal closely resembles those from Jaumave, in having the zygomatic arches more nearly parallel and the braincase more rounded than in skulls from Altamira.
Anterior to the otic capsule the lateral wall of the braincase cannot be seen, and may not have been ossified.
The roof of the braincase in our specimen seems to have been detached from the underlying otic capsules and the occipital wall.
It should be noted that the roof of the braincase proper is perfectly distinct from the overlying series of dermal bones, and that the parietal foramen can be seen in both.
Probably the whole posterior surface of the braincase slanted posteroventrally; consequently the rim of the notochordal canal was about 3.
The braincaseof the Carboniferous crossopterygian Megalichthys nitidus.
The limbs and braincase are more primitive than those so far described in any amphibian.
The two articular surfaces anteriorly near the midline suggest that a movable joint existed between the otico-occipital part of the braincaseand the ethmosphenoid part, as in Rhipidistia (Romer, 1937).
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "braincase" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
