Look at the skull of the pig in any one of the highly improved breeds, with the occipital condyles and other parts greatly modified; or look at that of the niata ox.
Even the lower jaw is affected, and the condyles are not quite symmetrical, that on the left standing a little in advance of that on the right.
The proportions of the different bones; the curvature of the lower jaw, the position of the condyles with respect to the plane of the teeth (on which F.
Other differences might be added: thus the plane of the condyles is somewhat modified, and the terminal edge of the premaxillaries forms an arch.
But a few days after the operation the foot became cold and mummified, and there was no alternative but to amputate the limb through the condyles of the femur.
Boullard reports a deformity of the visage, resulting in a deficiency of the condyles of the lower jaw.
The leg had been seized obliquely, and the teeth had gone across the joints, wounding the condyles of the femur.
A, 1), and it is deeply cupped for articulation with the condyles of the skull.
The head and tuberosities of the humerus ossify from one centre, the shaft from a second, and the trochlea and condyles from a third.
The basi-occipital is not completely ossified, and the skull articulates with the vertebral column by means of two occipital condyles formed by the exoccipitals.
As in Mammalia there are two occipitalcondyles formed by the exoccipitals.
It bears in front two oval concave surfaces for articulation with the condyles of the skull, while the centrum is terminated behind by a prominent convex surface.
The mandible has hardly any coronoid process, and the condyles are at its posterior end.
The proximal end bears two slight depressions which articulate with the condyles of the femur, and a third depression which partly lodges the patella.
The humerus has distinct condyles and an ent-epicondylar foramen[70] as in many mammals.
The skull articulates with the vertebral column by means of two convex occipital condyles formed mainly by the exoccipitals, and the mandible articulates with the squamosal without the intervention of the quadrate.
It has no ribs, and presents anteriorly two slightly divergent concave surfaces which articulate with the occipital condyles of the skull.
The proximal end is triangular in cross section, and bears two facets for articulation with the condyles of the femur.
The great majority of reptiles have a single convex occipital condyle, but some of the Theromorpha such as Cynognathus have two distinct condyles as in mammals.
The trochlea, narrow as a whole, is clearly separate from the condyles by a very marked constriction.
On the inferior extremity of the femur are two condyles and a trochlea; the condyles are clearly separated from this latter by a marked constriction.
The trochlea is still more independent of the condyles than in the human femur; it is separated from these latter by a slight constriction.
On the inferior surface of the human occipital bone are found, at the level of, and external to, the condyles two bony elevations which bear the name of jugular eminences.
We know that in man the femoral trochlea is continuous behind, without interruption, with the condyles--that is to say, that each of the condyles is the continuation of one of the lips of the trochlea.
Fracture of the condyles has been already alluded to.
Great pain is experienced from the pressure of the condyles of the bone on the temporal muscles, from stretching of the fibres of the pterygoids, and from interruption to the functions, by pressure, of the contiguous blood-vessels and nerves.
When such an accident is suspected, the position of the condyles in regard to the ends of the bones of the forearm should be accurately observed.
Crepitation is detected along the line of fracture, during motion of the limb, and when the condyles are laid hold of and moved upon each other, or on the shaft.
Fracture above the condyles sometimes extends through them; and the one may be detached from the other either with or without fracture of the shaft.
The diaphysis is large and nearly straight; the distal extremity is furnished with two equal condyles separated by a deep channel.
The roughness due to fibrillation of the articular cartilages causes coarse friction on moving the joint, or, in the knee, on moving the patella on the condyles of the femur.
The further progress is complicated by the occurrence of pyogenic infection leading to necrosis of bone, in the knee-joint, for example, the patella or one of the condyles of the femur or tibia, may furnish a sequestrum.
At the bend of the elbow the two condyles of the humerus may be felt; the inner one projects beneath the skin, but the outer one is obscured by the rounded outline of the brachio-radialis muscle.
The only part of the femur besides the great trochanter which is superficial is the lower end, and this forms the two condyles for articulation with the tibia.
They arise from the lateral aspects of the femur, just above the condyles and are inserted to the corresponding surfaces of the patella.
The condyles of the humerus articulate with the glenoid cavities of the radius and a portion of the ulna.
In addition to the usual provision for articulation of bones there are situated cartilaginous menisci between the condyles of the femur and the head of the tibia.
The condyles may be felt to move upon one another, and coarse crepitus, which has been likened to the feeling of a bag of beans, may be elicited if the fragments are comminuted.
The apparatus is applied as follows: A boracic lint bandage is applied to the limb as far as the knee, and protecting pads or rings of wool are placed over the condyles of the tibia, the head of the fibula, and the malleoli.
The knee is broadened, and pain and crepitus are readily elicited on moving the condyles upon one another or on pressing them together.
The condyles are thus separated from one another, as well as from the shaft, by a T- or Y-shaped cleft.
The condyles of the femur are palpable posteriorly, and the skin is tightly stretched over them, or may even be torn, rendering the dislocation compound.
The condyles of the humerus bear their normal relations to one another.
The deficiency of the upper end may be compensated for by implanting the head of the fibula between the condyles of the femur, and that at the lower end by splitting the fibula so as to form a socket for the talus.
When the joint is distended with fluid, this upper pouch bulges above and on either side of the patella, and this bone is "floated" off the condyles of the femur.
This equilibrium being almost perfect, necessitates but very thin and flexible ligaments in the articulation of the two occipital condyles of the skull on the atlas.
The length of the skull from the occipital condyles to the tip of the longest nasal bone is useful in separating Z.
Least distance from a line connecting posteriormost parts of exoccipital condylesto a line connecting anteriormost projections of premaxillary bones.
As we bend our heads, the occipital condyles revolve or glide on the sockets of the atlas.
The two occipital condyles represent part of the ball which fits into the cup formed by the atlas.
All that is to be seen of the socket or cup is two hollows on the upper surface of the atlas into which the occipital condyles fit (Fig.
Merely two parts of the brim of the cup have been preserved to provide a socket for the condyles or ball.
Two eminences for articulation with the atlas vertebra, the condyles (c.
Outer shell composed of twenty plates, the meeting condyles of which are separated by permanent sutures.
In this elegant and very common species the condyles usually remain separated by sutures; but sometimes the latter become obliterated, and the whole shell then forms a single piece, Icosaspidium elegans.
Outer shell composed of twenty separated plates, the sutures of their meeting condylesnot being grown together.
Each spine bears in its middle part two opposite apophyses, which are simply forked; the four condyles of each spine (or the thickened ends of the fork-branches) are united with the meeting condyles of the neighbouring spines by sutures.
The eighty condyles (or sutural ends of the branches) much thickened, twice to four times as broad as the branches themselves.
Outer shell composed of twenty united plates, the meeting condyles of which are grown together.
Condyles of the neighbouring plates grown together, and sutures obliterated; therefore the whole shell forms a single piece of acanthin.
Condyles of the neighbouring plates connected by permanent open sutures; therefore the whole shell is composed of twenty separated pieces of acanthin.
The beak is missing, so that the total length of the skull can not be given, but the distance from the occipital condyles to the line of the maxillary notches (straight) is 312 mm.
The only species which approaches stejnegeri in this respect is hectori, but in the latter the supraoccipital instead of being flat above the condyles is very strongly convex.
The occipital condyles do not come in contact beneath the foramen magnum; the symphysis of the lower jaw is very short, amounting to only one-fifth of the whole length of the jaw.
Length from occipital condyles to base of beak (straight), 312 mm.
In the Oregon skull of stejnegeri, the breadth between the post-orbital processes does not exceed the length from the occipital condylesto the maxillary notches.
The skull is obviously that of a young animal, as all the sutures are open and the surface of the occipital condyles is pitted, owing to imperfect ossification.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "condyles" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
