What's the difference between bony and epicoracoid?

Bony


Definition:

  • (a.) Consisting of bone, or of bones; full of bones; pertaining to bones.
  • (a.) Having large or prominent bones.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Gross deformity, point tenderness and decrease in supination and pronation movements of the forearm were the best predictors of bony injury.
  • (2) Classically, parathormone is known to increase bony reabsorption and raise serum calcium.
  • (3) 5 reconstructions of the posterior bony canal wall were moderately sunk in.
  • (4) The bony elements of both adjacent vertebral bodies are secondarily involved.
  • (5) Orbital hypertelorism, strictly defined as an increase in bony interorbital distance, is not itself an isolated syndrome, but is instead an anomaly that may occur as either part of a syndrome or malformation sequence.
  • (6) Most patients had pulmonary metastases, two had bony metastases, and one had metastases in the iliac nodes.
  • (7) Technetium-99m (V)DMSA has been demonstrated in this study to be a useful imaging agent in patients with MCT, showing uptake in significantly more lesions and with better imaging qualities than [131I]MIBG, and with the ability to detect soft tissue as well as bony metastases.
  • (8) Much more recently, use of modern CT ("computed tomography") scanning equipment on the London Archaeopteryx's skull has enabled scientists to reconstruct the whole of its bony brain case - and so model the structure of the brain itself.
  • (9) A major limitation of 3-D CT is its inability to reconstruct the pathology of soft tissues with the same fidelity afforded bony structures.
  • (10) The diagnosis of cervical injuries may be facilitated by following a logical pattern of analysis searching for abnormalities of alignment and anatomy, of bony integrity, of the cartilage or joint spaces, and of the soft tissues.
  • (11) All lesions but one were located extradurally, and patients with Stage D2 disease, by virtue of bony metastases, were therefore at greatest risk for development of neurologically compressive disease.
  • (12) A study was undertaken to assess whether CT measurements of the upper craniofacial skeleton accurately represent the bony region imaged.
  • (13) Three dimensional images reconstructed from two dimensional CT scans allow improved analysis of complex orbitocranial bony deformities.
  • (14) The utility of computerized tomography of the chest, in addition to the chest roentgenogram, in assessing the bony involvement of the thoracic tumor is illustrated.
  • (15) The value of unenhanced CT essentially is limited to the demonstration of bony changes.
  • (16) Applying the principles of mechanics, the authors have studied and compared the bony structures of the temporo-mandibular joint.

  • (19) From the survey of another 21 patients having bony abnormalities at the craniovertebral junction, the first type of arterial anomaly described above was seen in 4 patients and associated with failure of segmentation of the embryonic sclerotome such as occipitalization of the atlas or Klippel-Feil syndrome.
  • (20) Five patients were found to have biopsy-proved extramedullary plasmacytomas without extension from an underlying bony focus.

Epicoracoid


Definition:

  • (n.) A ventral cartilaginous or bony element of the coracoid in the shoulder girdle of some vertebrates.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Suprasternal bone is now considered to have derived from the persistent rudiment of epicoracoid which should have normally consisted of the part of manubrium sterni.
