| The basin is separated from the craton by a major tectonic flexure known as the Redstone arch. |
| At a distal end of the head support arm, there is a flat portion with a swage hole for connection of the flexure assembly. |
| The surgeon then uses the ultrasonic scalpel to mobilize the hepatic flexure by dividing the attachments. |
| Tumors or polyps that develop proximal to the splenic flexure carry a poorer prognosis than those that arise more distally. |
| In the Ebro basin, flexure of the crust was produced mainly by the Pyrenean load, but also by the emergent thrust sheet of the Aragonese Branch. |
| Approximately one third of polyps and one half of colorectal cancers occur proximal to the splenic flexure. |
