Example Sentences:
(1) The pseudo-ChE occurs in several isozymic forms including sialated and asialated slightly-anodal forms found principally in liver, and a larger, asialated asymmetric form that barely penetrates the 10% PAGE gel matrix found together with true AChE in epaxial muscle, brain, and eye.
(2) Epaxial and hypaxial motoneurons show no obvious morphological differences and occupy extensively overlapping positions in the motor column.
(3) Deformation was measured in the lateral epaxial musculature of the rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss during stage one of fast starts.
(4) The RNA:DNA ratio in the white epaxial muscle is lowest in starved fish and increases in proportion to the feed rate and individual specific growth rate.
(5) Some of the motoneurons innervating this hypaxial muscle were located in the ventral part of the motor column, like epaxial motoneurons, but they were segregated longitudinally from epaxial ones.
(6) In amniotes, the motoneurons innervating epaxial and hypaxial muscles are spatially segregated in the cord (Smith and Hollyday: J. Comp.
(7) In contrast, epaxial and hypaxial motoneurons are spatially segregated in water snakes, rats, and monkeys, apparently as a consequence of an isomorphic mapping of motoneuron location onto the position of innervated muscle in the embryonic myotome.
(8) The dorsal ramus nerve diverges dorsally from each spinal nerve to innervate the epaxial muscle and dermis that are derived in situ from each dermamyotome.
(9) Palpable rigidity of the epaxial (paraspinal) muscles, lordotic flattening, and spinal flexion accompanying back pain generally are ascribed to epaxial muscle spasm.
(10) Electromyographic evidence of denervation in the epaxial muscles was observed in 22 dogs.
(11) Medial longissimus, the remaining major lumbar epaxial muscle, is a muscle of the proximal tail-tailbase.
(12) Epaxial compartment syndromes are proposed as a possible cause of palpable rigidity, lordotic flattening, and spinal flexion accompanying idiopathic back pain.
(13) Though there were slight differences in the locations of motoneurons filled from nerves entering epaxial and hypaxial muscle, their distributions in the cord overlapped substantially.
(14) It was concluded that the best sites for injection in dogs are the lumbar epaxial musculature or the quadriceps femoris muscle when IM administration is imperative.
(15) In addition, resting and exercising epaxial compartment pressures were measured in 18 normal volunteers with a slit catheter.
(16) Electromyography and cinematography were used to determine the activity of epaxial muscles of colubrid snakes during terrestrial and aquatic lateral undulatory locomotion.
(17) Their large axons traveled medial to the Mauthner axon in the cord and entered branches of spinal nerves running deep in the epaxial or hypaxial muscle.
(18) Recordings from the axons of the epaxial motoneurons of female rats showed a strong activation of neuronal firing with an onset latency of 5.8 ms from the last shock of a three ms, three shock train; the onset in male rats, 8.4 ms, differed significantly.
(19) There is no obvious topographic relationship between the location of motoneurons in the motor column and the dorsoventral location of the muscle they innervate in the myomeres; epaxial motoneurons are not segregated from hypaxial ones.
(20) Intermediate and medial muscles, based on the central location of motoneurons that supply them, are part of the longitudinal epaxial musculature and are not part of a trapezius complex.
