This is perhaps because any injury between the tip of the meropodite and the point of autotomy invariably causes a breakage at the latter point. |
It wrinkles easily and should not be creased excessively to avoid wear and breakage of the fibers. |
The tension may be sufficient to cause breakage, thereby extending the fracture. |
Quakes radiate along fault lines, which often are existing fractures in the rock but can also be created by a new line of breakage. |
The proposed mechanism for breakage of the actomyosin cortex may be used for cell polarization. |
And this was all in the middle of making dinner, for which I had been hungry for an hour and a half previous to the breakage. |
