Like all the short bones, those of the tarsus are composed of a mass of spongy tissue surrounded by a thin and papyraceous layer of compact. |
|
Although both groups exhibit very similar chondrogenic patterns of the tarsus, only the amphibian pattern is preserved through osteogenesis. |
|
Apart from a fragmentary metatarsal, the tarsus and pes are not preserved in this specimen. |
|
Before experiments began, we took standard morphometrics of wing chord length, culmen, tarsus, tail length, and body mass. |
|
In this pattern the tarsus of diadectids most closely approximates the lacertilian mesotarsal joint in structure and probable function. |
|
A wedge of skin, orbicularis, and tarsus is removed parallel to the lid margin. |
|
Preserved bones of the tarsus include the astragalus, calcaneum, and medial centrale. |
|
A cockroach leg is made up of a number of distinct segments, arranged along the proximo-distal axis in the order coxa, femur, tibia, tarsus. |
|
In addition to the pretarsus, tarsus, tibia and femur, insects have two proximal segments not shown in the figure. |
|
For both species, body size traits included mean tarsus length, mean flattened wing chord, tail length, and culmen length. |
|
The popliteal occasionally provides a small saphenous artery that courses with the vein of the same name and the sural nerve to the tarsus. |
|
Hen flea infestations significantly reduced nestling body mass, tarsus and wing length, and the number of young fledged by the hosts. |
|
Body condition was calculated as the ratio between the weight at capture and cube root tarsus length. |
|
This can be shown electrophysiologically by accelerating the tarsus at small amplitudes and variable frequency. |
|
Body mass was measured using a spring balance, and tarsus length by a caliper. |
|
At 2000 h every day, chicks were weighed on the precision balance, and their tarsus length measured by using a pair of calipers. |
|
Actually, it turns out that the ferrungulate tarsus is a fairly apt study for the understanding of ankles, assuming that one is apt to study such things at all. |
|
The left forelimb deviated outwardly at the carpus and was very swollen at the tarsus. |
|
Hold a closed band behind the tarsus, and compare the space on each side of the band. |
|
An influential contribution is that of Szalay, who linked Australian taxa to one group among the South American radiation, based on structure of the tarsus. |
|
|
Legs are cut off automatically at the tarsus. |
|
The distal segment of the limb comprises the carpus, metacarpus, and phalanges in the forelimb and the tarsus, metatarsus, and phalanges in the hind limb. |
|
Morphometrics of these skins, particularly the lengths of the tarsus, bill, tail and wing became important in the descriptions of bird species. |
|
The tibial comb or forespur, on the front pair of legs, has about 65 teeth, stiff and elastic, and is deftly fitted into the tarsus opposite, which has about 45 coarser teeth. |
|
Diaton tonometer takes quick and painless measurement of IOP through upper eyelid, at tarsus and sclera, without touching or influence of the cornea vs. |
|
We measured mass, right pinnae length, fight tarsus length, and right unflattened wing cord length from bend of wing to tip of longest primary for each captured male. |
