In the Bears (Ursidae) it is not much inflated, and is most prominent along its inner border; it is not closely connected with the paroccipital process.
There is a large paroccipital process to the exoccipital and the mandible has a long slender coronoid process.
The squamosal gives rise to small postglenoid and post-tympanic processes, and the exoccipital to a large paroccipital process.
Immediately behind the tympanic, between it and the mastoid process of the periotic and the paroccipital process of the exoccipital is the =stylomastoid foramen= (fig.
The postglenoid process of the squamosal is well developed, and generally longer than the paroccipital process of the exoccipital.
The alisphenoid canal, and postglenoid and paroccipital processes are well developed.
There is never any great development either of the paroccipital process of the exoccipital, or of the postglenoid process of the squamosal.
The occipital plane is nearly vertical, and the exoccipitals are developed into fairly prominent paroccipital processes.
The premaxillae is well developed, as is theparoccipital process of the exoccipital, especially in Typotherium.
There are no paroccipital or postglenoid processes.
VII), which lies between the tympanic bulla, the paroccipital process, and the mastoid portion of the periotic.
The paroccipital process is closely applied to the bulla.
The parietal completely fuses at an early stage with its fellow, and the exoccipital is drawn out into a long paroccipital process (fig.
The paroccipital process is separate from, or only extends to a slight degree upon the auditory bulla.
In common with the next two families, the modern Ursidae are characterized by the very small tympanic bulla, and the broad paroccipital process, which is, however, independent of the bulla.
The bulla is small and the tympanic large, with a low division between them; and the paroccipital process is leaf-like and spread over the bulla.
From all the other members of the group the Canidae are broadly distinguished (in the case of existing forms) by the large and well-developed tympanic bulla, with which the paroccipital process is in contact.
They are peculiar in that the wall of the inner chamber of the auditory bulla never ossifies, while the paroccipital process is not flattened out and spread over the bulla.
In the skull the paroccipital processes are of great length.
In the skull the auditory bulla is much inflated, and there is an internal septum; the paroccipital processes are flattened against the bullae.
The paroccipitalprocesses are long; the incisors are white, and are not grooved in front.
In the skull the chief features, in addition to that mentioned in the definition of the family, are the large size of the paroccipital processes; there is no fossa lachrymalis or deficiency in the side of the face.
Other characteristic features are the following:--The nasals are large, and so are the paroccipital processes.
The paroccipital processes are short and are closely applied to the mastoid processes.
In the Raccoon the bullae are much more swollen, and the paroccipital processes are closer to them.
Finally, in Ictonyx the bullae are much swollen; there is but little flattening towards the meatus, and the paroccipital processes, themselves much swollen, are pressed closely against the bullae.
The hind part of the base of the alisphenoid is more produced and tuberous outside the end of the hyoid process of the paroccipitalin A.
VI):-- Width of cranium at paroccipital processes less than half the length of the basis cranii.
The paroccipital processes are shorter and more rounded, and the basi-occipital tubercles more prominent than in Anomalopteryx, while the quadrate and mandible resemble the same bones in that genus somewhat closely.
The tympanic process of the alisphenoid bone of the skull is short, not covering the cavity of the tympanum, nor reaching the paroccipital process.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "paroccipital" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
