This group may be distinguished from the preceding by the position of the ovipositor at the extreme apex of the abdomen, and from the groups that follow (with very few exceptions) by the jointed trochanters of the legs.
The four succeeding sections, in which the ovipositor is modified into a sting (always exserted from the tip of the abdomen) and the trochanters are with few exceptions simple, form the Aculeata of Linnaeus.
The ligamentum teres is almost always torn from its femoral attachment, and one or more of the muscles inserted in the region of the trochanters may be ruptured.
It is generally conceded that the neck of the femur is rarely broken because of a lack of constriction in this part, but fracture of the trochanters has been recorded rather frequently.
Where the trochanters are broken, chronic lameness and muscular atrophy is the result.
The great and lessertrochanters are large and about equally developed, but there is no third trochanter.
In the Proboscidea the femur is very long and straight, the development of trochanters is slight, and the fibula though slender is complete and articulates with the calcaneum.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "trochanters" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
