Coxa I with two spines; metatarsi without stout spurs at tips, only slender hairs.
Projections of coxa I longer, and at least one of them sharp pointed; second segment of palpus twice as long as the third; coxa IV of the male with a long spine.
The jaws of the third pair, the palpognaths or second pair of maxillae, resemble dwarfed walking legs, and consist of five or six segments, of which the basal or coxa is united mesially to its fellow.
They consist typically of six segments, of which the basal is termed the coxa and the apical the tarsus.
Coxa -ae: the basal segment of the leg, by means of which it is articulated to the body.
Flocculus -i: a hairy or bristly appendage on the posterior coxa of some Hymenoptera.
Union has occurred with diminution of angle of neck--Coxa Vara.
It is not nearly so important in practice as coxa vara.
Pain in the hip and a limp in walking suggest hip-joint disease, but while in coxa vara the movements are chiefly restricted in the direction of abduction, in hip disease they are restricted or absent in all directions.
If the condition is overlooked or imperfectly treated, it may in course of time be followed by coxa vara.
Partial separations may be overlooked at the time of the accident and cause trouble later from bending of the bone, as in one variety of coxa vara.
Coxa Vara, showing adduction curvature of neck of femur associated with arthritis of the hip and knee.
The upper end of the bone shows the condition of coxa vara; the lower end shows enlargement of the medial condyle and alteration in the axis of the articular surface.
If the condition is not recognised and treated, it is liable to be followed by the development of coxa vara (Royal Whitman) (Fig.
A set of dorso-ventral muscles moving the coxa of each limb in its socket.
The most persistent of all the appendage-muscles are the basal muscles which pass from coxa to carapace and are known by the name of tergo-coxal muscles.
In IIIA the coxa is abducted, and the joints a (episternum) and b slightly separated.
Occasionally there is some deformity, as when coxa vara develops.
Sometimes, however, this takes place with resulting deformity, as in the development of coxa vara of the femur.
An interesting fracture reported by the author, and also mentioned by Kaufmann and by Schoedel, is that of the head of the femur leading to the development of coxa vara.
Schoedel suggests that scurvy may at times be the etiologic factor in coxa vara as well as in some cases diagnosed as congenital dislocation of the hip.
In Panorpa the posterior piece is longer than the anterior and props the coxa behind; in Myrmeleon and Perla, &c.
In the bottom of this externally, and in the head of the coxa, is an orifice for the transmission of muscles, nerves, and bronchiae; but the coxa is suspended by ligament in the socket.
Its egg was attached to the coxa of the midleg of the cockroach.
D, The wasp's egg was placed on the coxa of the cockroach's right mesothoracic leg where it hatched.
B, Wasp's egg attached to the coxa of the mesothoracic leg of the cockroach.
Orifice of foetid glands opening above the coxa of the 4th appendage, not raised upon a tubercle.
In the same and other leading forms a pair of much-coiled glandular tubes, the coxal glands (coelomocoels in origin), is found with a duct opening on the coxa of the fifth pair of appendages of the prosoma.
Orifice of coxal gland probably situated at base of coxa of 5th appendage; sternal plate of prosema minute or absent; no prosternal element underlying the mouth.
In all the embryonic or permanent opening is on the coxa of the fifth pair of prosomatic limbs.
They are really excretory glands, and communicate with the exterior by a very minute aperture on the posterior face of the coxa of the fifth limb on each side.
Orifice of foetid glands opening above the coxa of the 3rd appendage, not raised upon a tubercle.
In the former movement the foreleg flexes sharply upon itself until the tarsal brush and coxa nearly meet.
The collecting brush of the middle leg is now thrust in between the tarsus andcoxa of the foreleg and wipes off some of the pollen from the foreleg brush.
Why do you suppose the coxa and trochanter are so small?
Next to the little coxa and trochanter is the longest and largest segment in the grasshopper's leg; I suppose nobody remembers its name.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "coxa" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
