These points of relationship to the skeletal parts can be ascertained by the touch, in both instances, even in the undissected body.
The skeletal points are therefore the safest guides to the precise localities of the bloodvessels, and such points are always within the easy recognition of touch and sight.
Consequently, this region differs from that of swallows; the area between the costal process and coracoid is not entirely bridged by muscle, and the space between the two skeletal elements is of a different shape and size.
This difference in site of attachment seems to be a result of differences between the two families in muscular and skeletal elements of the thorax.
If the location of the artery is determined by skeletal and muscular elements, these associated structures must be considered taxonomically as a "character complex" (a set of characters varying as a unit).
In other words, within the bounds established by the skeletal and muscular features, the artery still exhibited individual variation in exact origin.
In all skeletal and cranial characters the sharks stand distinctly lower.
According to this theory, the skeletal arrangements of the vertebrate limb are derived from modifications of one primitive form, a structure made up of successive joints, with a series of fin-rays on one or both sides of it.
This view is based on theskeletal structures within the fin.
In 1899 and the following years came the discovery by Gorjanovič-Kramberger of different skeletal parts of at least ten individuals in a cave near Krapina in Croatia.
As bone constituents, giving rigidity and relative permanence to the skeletal tissues.
In starvation the body rebuilds its important tissues, such as the nerves and glands, at the expense of the less important ones, such as the connective tissues and the skeletal muscles (Taylor).
But in the elastic inter-vertebral disks, which develop from the skeletal plate between each pair of vertebral bodies (Figure 2.
Very often we can make only precarious inferences from these skeletal fragments as to the anatomic characters of the soft parts that went with the bony skeleton of the extinct Tocosauria.
The comparative anatomy of these fins is very interesting, because they contain the rudiments of all the skeletal parts that form the framework of the fore and hind legs in all the higher vertebrates right up to man.
The various parts of the skeletal system and correlated muscular system began to differentiate more and more.
Mr. Spencer supports his argument by the non-segmentation of the anterior end of the skeletal axis, i.
In these Dinosauria we find skeletal characters unlike those of ordinary (i.
But in other parts of the body we shall find the skeletal pieces of each segment and the rings of successive segments fused in one plate of mail.
In this part of the body the skeletalring of each segment is joined to that of the segments before and behind it in the same manner.
In more than four thousand kinds of radiolaria, which I have described, every single species is distinguished by special, hereditary skeletal structure.
Human skeletal material from a gravel bed along the Patuxent River, Md.
The suggestion that the skeletalmaterial found in the fissures is the remnant of the prey of other animals is questionable because of: 1.
I thought, if Moses could fast for 42 days so can I, even though the average length of a full water fast to skeletal weight for a person that is not overweight is more in the order of 30 days.
To maintain basic fitness it does not matter so much what form of exercise is chosen, as long as it is not damaging to theskeletal system or connective tissues.
Shelton said that cleansing is not complete until a skeletal condition is reached--that is, absolutely no fat reserves are left.
When a person already close to skeletal weight starts fasting, to conserve vital tissue the body goes rapidly into a state of profound rest so it uses very little energy, thus it loses very little weight each day.
Various differentiations may arise in the epidermis forming protective or skeletal structures, terminal sense organs, or glands.
Of its special differentiations those of a protective orskeletal nature and those of a glandular nature may be considered in this place.
We have seen that in the Chordata skeletal structures, which were primitively formed of both an epidermic and dermic element, may lose the former element and be entirely developed in the dermis.
The most important of these structures are the skeletal plates of the Echinodermata.
Amongst the Invertebrata there are certain dermal skeletal structures which are evolved wholly independently of the epidermis.
Although the notochord often persists as an important organ in the true Vertebrata, yet there are always added to it various skeletal structures developed in the mesoblast.
With this bar the remaining skeletal elements of the fin are also continuous.
In 1899 and the following years came the discovery by Gorjanovic-Kramberger of different skeletal parts of at least ten individuals in a cave near Krapina in Croatia.
Skeletal Examination: The patient’s rigidity limited the examination of joints.
Eaton, who had had no opportunity of seeing Peru, was invited to accompany us and make a study of the bones of modern Peruvian cattle as well as of any other skeletal remains which might be found.
In view of the fragmentary character of the skeletal evidence, the fact that no proof of great antiquity could be drawn from the characters of the human skeletal parts, and the suggestion made by Dr.
The relationship of these Ganodonts to any later forms is uncertain; but their skeletal structure is as yet by no means fully known.
A very marked skeletal character distinguishes this sub-family from other Lemuridae, and allies them to Tarsius, that is the lengthening of the calcaneum and naviculare in the ankle.
As to skeletal characters, the Marsupial skull has on the whole a tendency towards a permanent separation of bones usually firmly ankylosed.
Their general structure is like that of the Felidae; but they differ in a number of skeletal features.
Astragali and manyskeletal bones of Periptychus rhabdodon and Pantolambda bathmodon are almost indistinguishable," observes Mr. Matthew.
A flat blade of metal transversed it, one side twisting into the ground where skeletal girders shown beneath ripped plating.
It fell on the edge of the rock table, broke at the mid-forearm, and the skeletal hand fell to the floor, shattering like china, into a dozen pieces.
This notochord represents the persistent primordial skeletal axis which, in the higher Craniata (though not so in the lower), gives way by substitution to the segmented vertebral column.
Its skeletal build is such that it cannot have been an agile creature, apt at the pursuit of light and swift prey.
By "lion" I mean any one of the big extinct cats, true cats, which in their cranial and skeletal characters are almost or quite identical with living lions and tigers and closely related to living jaguars.
The reversal in this case of the usual proportions between the skeletal remains of herbivorous and carnivorous beasts and birds is due to the character of the deposits.
As the proboscis-gut appears to have undoubtedly skeletal properties, and as it also has topographical relations with the mouth, it has been designated in English by the non-committal term stomochord.
They are figured and their importance for the first time recognized in the memoir on the muscular and skeletal systems of Limulus and Scorpio by Lankester, Beck and Bourne (4).
Sutures are stated to mark off some of these pieces, but in the proper sense of that term as applied to the skeletal structures of the Vertebrata, no sutures exist in the chitinous cuticle of Arthropoda.
