| In Europe, however, the skeleton of Pierolapithecus suggests an orthograde vertical climbing adaptation but the phalanges seem to be more monkey-like. |
| In other words, that trend saw the achievement of an upright bipedal, or orthograde, posture instead of a quadrupedal, or pronograde, one. |
| The orthograde reflux in Jiacomini's vein and in the ascending branches of the thigh, often associated to a dilatation, often exists without reflux in the long saphenous trunk. |
| In the case of oligotrophy the vertical oxygen distribution is essentially uniform, or orthograde. |
| Whereas in pronograde animals the abdominal viscera are supported by the ventral abdominal wall, in the orthograde posture most support comes from the pelvis. |
