The last two cervical vertebrae resemble the succeeding thoracic vertebrae, in the increased length of the transverse processes, and the shifting dorsalwards of the facet with which the capitulum of the rib articulates.
The transverse processes of the fifteenth vertebra bear two facets for the articulation of the capitulum and tuberculum of the rib.
The anterior ribs have two articulating surfaces, and each articulates by its tuberculum with the transverse process, and by its capitulum with the centrum as in mammals.
In the first and second thoracic vertebrae the capitulum of the rib articulates, not with a facet on the transverse process, but with a little elevation borne at the line of junction of the centrum and neural arch.
A, 4), which, together with that on the adjacent vertebra, forms an articulating surface for the capitulumof the rib.
The vertebral portions increase in length from the first which is very stout, and has the capitulum and tuberculum very distinct, to about the eighth or ninth; afterwards they gradually diminish in size.
In the Odontocetes the ribs have, some of them, the normal attachment by capitulum and tuberculum.
Defn: Resembling thecapitulum of burdock; covered with forked points.
Defn: A ray, or outer floret, of the capitulum of such plants as the sunflower and the daisy.
Defn: Having in a capitulum large ray florets which are unlike the disk florets, as in the aster, daisy, etc.
In all cases the capitulum is surrounded by one or more whorls of bracts which are often closely overlapping.
Lectio brevis, which in feast offices is theCapitulum from None.
Capitulum (in adults and nymphs) entirely invisible dorsally, distant in the adult by about its own length from the anterior border.
Capitulum and scutum; ventral aspect of capitulum; coxae; tarsus 4; spiracle; genital and anal grooves.
Trochanter I with dorso-terminal blade; postero-lateral angles of capitulum with rather short prolongations.
Capitulum without valves, with the orifice spinose: peduncle with the basal end added to during growth; its rostral surface depressed and covered by a horny disc: capitulum and peduncle imbedded in a cavity excavated in the shells of molluscs.
The peduncle growing a little after the metamorphosis, in the male of Alcippe, and the prolongation of its capitulum with the included oblique ligamentous fibres, are the greatest differences.
Fourthly: in the male Ibla the capitulum is so much atrophied that it does not enclose the thorax or mouth, but still an elongated support or peduncle is left.
The tuberculum and capitulum on each of the trunk ribs are separated only by a shallow concavity.
Dorsolaterally there is an articular surface for the capitulum of the rib.
The latter articulate with the tuberculum of the corresponding rib, while the capitulum articulates by a knob on the side of the anterior end of the centrum.
Each rib has a process, the tuberculum, going up to articulate with the transverse process, and one, the capitulumarticulating between the bodies of two contiguous vertebrae.
The facets for the articulation of the capitulum are indicated in the side view by shading.
The following measurements will show the proportions of the parts in a specimen of the Lepas fascicularis having a capitulum 4/10ths of an inch in length.
When a new shelly layer is formed, both under the valves of the capitulum and inside the basal calcareous cup, it projects beyond the old layer, and is included within the old, as yet not moulted, membrane of the peduncle.
The largest specimen (from the coast of Devonshire) had a capitulum 1.
All the species are small, with a capitulum not exceeding half an inch in length.
The largest specimen had a capitulumone inch long.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "capitulum" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: ament; blossom; cone; head; spike
