All the young persons under 18 had in some degree their epiphyses separated from the body of the bone, this water having penetrated into the very substance of it.
It is a common belief that separation of the epiphyses occurs only in infants and young children, and not in the scurvy of adults.
Marked swelling of the wrists is frequently encountered in guinea-pigs suffering from scurvy--a bony enlargement involving the lower epiphyses of the ulna and of the radius.
We do not refer to the edema in connection with subperiosteal hemorrhage or separation of the epiphyses of the long bones, but a mild and peculiar form which is seen early in the disease.
The epiphyses are enlarged to a variable degree, resembling the epiphyses typical of human rickets.
Roentgenograms of the bones may show the "white line" at the epiphyses first described by Fraenkel (Fig.
Hemorrhages and separations of the epiphysesor fractures of the long bones dominate the macroscopic picture.
This, however, is not correct, as in severe adult scurvy there is frequently a separation of the epiphyses of the long bones of the lower extremities or of the ribs, the latter resulting in a sinking of the sternum.
In this connection the enlargement of the epiphyses must be mentioned, another sign supposed to be characteristic of rickets in infants.
Fractures or separations of the epiphyses may be found on examination or may be occasioned by the physical examination.
Upon operating those bodies the epiphyses were found entirely separated from the bones; which, by rubbing against each other, occasioned this noise.
Epiphyses are fully developed in Halitherium, and traces occur in Manatus.
The number of phalanges in the second and third digits almost always exceeds that which is normal in mammals, and the phalanges are also remarkable for having epiphyses at both ends.
Each of the five digits consists of a long =metatarsal= with epiphyses at both ends, and of a variable number of phalanges.
In almost every case the phalanges and first metatarsal have epiphyses only on their proximal ends, while the remaining four metatarsals have epiphyses only on their distal ends.
The cartilage may be hyaline, as in the omosternum and xiphisternum, or may be more or less calcified as in part of the suprascapula and the epiphyses of the limb bones.
The epiphyses are very distinct, and do not unite with the centra till the animal is quite adult.
As was the case with the anterior limb, all the long bones have their ends formed by prominent epiphyses which do not unite with the shaft till late in life.
In the Mystacoceti the manus remains largely cartilaginous, in the Odontoceti it is better ossified, and the phalanges commonly have epiphyses at both ends.
As regards the endoskeleton, the vertebral centra have terminal epiphyses except in the Ornithodelphia and some Sirenia.
The humerus and femur of Sauropterygia are noticeable for the enormous size of the terminal epiphyses which form in each case by far the greater part of the bone.
The distal phalanges haveepiphyses only at their proximal ends, the others at both ends.
All three bones of the arm have their terminations formed by epiphyses which ossify from centres distinct from those forming the shafts.
In the young animal there are three epiphyses to the shaft of the femur, one forming the head, one the great trochanter, and one the distal end.
The epiphysesare prominent, and so are the neural spines and to a less extent the metapophyses.
The epiphyses forming both ends of the radius, and the distal end of the ulna are large, while that at the proximal end of the ulna is small, and forms only the end of the olecranon.
It may be called for later if the limb is likely to be useless, as, for example, when the whole shaft of the bone is dead without the formation of a new case, when the epiphysesare separated and displaced, and the joints are disorganised.
The epiphysesare nourished by a separate system of blood vessels, derived from the arteries which supply the adjacent joint.
In the upper limb the more active epiphyses are at the shoulder and wrist, and these also are the last to unite.
In paralysed limbs the growth from the epiphyses is usually little short of the normal.
Tuberculous foci in the bones are met with chiefly in the lower end of the diaphysis of the humerus; in children, the epiphyses are so small that the ossifying junction is intra-articular.
It may result also from fracture or from separation of one of the epiphyses in the region of the knee, or from cicatricial contraction of the quadriceps.
It occurs most frequently in strong adults after the epiphyses have ossified, and before the bones have commenced to become brittle; and it is much more common in men than in women.
They do not occur after twenty-five, because by that time all the epiphyses have united.
In young subjects, for example, epiphysial lines may be mistaken for fractures, or the ossifying centres of epiphyses for separated fragments of bone.
In young subjects before the bones are fully developed the epiphyses may be separated from the diaphyses.
So long as the epiphyses are distinct from the bones, the growth of the animal is proceeding, but it ceases so soon as the consolidation is complete.
In his opinion a better result can be obtained by taking the limit of growth as that age at which the epiphyses of the long bones unite with the bones themselves.
These epiphyses to the vertebral bodies occur only among mammals, and are even absent in some cases within the class.
At either end of the body of a vertebra of a young rabbit are bony caps, the epiphyses (ep.
Scapulæ—Form normal, spine directed somewhat more upward than is usual; whole bone light and slender; acromial epiphyses absent.
The age of the subject is indicated mainly by the unattached epiphyses of the long and some of the short bones, those epiphyses, namely, which are the last to coossify.
Resemblance to lumbar processes begins with tenth dorsal vertebra; a number of the epiphyses of the various processes either imperfectly united or detached; bodyepiphyses absent.
Epiphyses ununited except on the ischiatic protuberances, where bony union just begins.
About the time of the subsidence of the rash there may be developed the specific inflammation at the junction of epiphyses and diaphyses which produces a swelling of the long bones near their ends.
Thus, he cites a case where in an old hunting-dog uratic concretions were found in the articular ligaments and in the periosteum of the epiphyses of many joints, but especially those connecting the ribs with their cartilages.
Later, the signs which have the greatest value are the lesions of the epiphyses of the long bones.
The epiphyses were slightly thickened; there were pain in the limbs, languor, and pallor.
The changes are more distinctly noticed at the epiphyses than in the diaphyses.
In favorable cases, when recovery takes place the teeth will grow faster, the bones become firmer, the epiphyses will diminish in relative size, the bowels become regular.
In the succeeding stage the new bony layers are more porous; a gelatinous degeneration affects the epiphysial cartilage and the spongy bones at a point where they are in contact; the epiphyses tend to separate from the diaphyses.
At the same time the epiphyses swell very rapidly, and are painful.
They especially affect the regions mentioned--the junctions of the epiphyses and diaphyses--because at that time those points are the seat of great physiological activity.
The epiphyses of the fourth and fifth cervical vertebrae and the anterior epiphysis of the sixth cervical are fused to their respective centra, but all the other epiphyses of the vertebral column and of the pectoral limbs are free.
Similar to fifteenth caudal, but the disproportion ofepiphyses greater and lateral ridges higher.
Although the neural spines, metapophyses, and transverse processes of the thoracics are much shorter than those of the young semijunctus, the epiphyses are as large or even larger than in that specimen.
In the Atlantic City specimen all the epiphyses are free.
All the epiphyses are free, and in the third to the seventh thoracic vertebrae the neural arch and spine are separate from the centrum.
Man, it has been decided, attains this condition of perfection at the age of twenty--that is, his bones become united to the epiphyses and no longer grow.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "epiphyses" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
