| There is only a rudimentary axial skeleton and no appendicular skeleton, so there are no limb muscles. |
| Since muscle mass is appendicular, it seems reasonable to propose that the addition of a calf or upper leg girth would have strengthened the prediction equation. |
| The appendicular skeleton is also dependent on the stability of the axial skeleton, upon which it operates. |
| Scutes over the limbs are termed appendicular scutes, and scutes forming the ventral portion of the carapace are referred to as ventral scutes. |
| The somatic layer of the lateral plate gives rise to the appendicular skeleton and the connective tissue of the limbs and body wall. |
| The diagnosis was made on histopathologic examination of surgically resected tissue from an appendicular mass. |
