(a.) Pertaining to, or connected with, the endoskeleton; as, endoskeletal muscles.
Example Sentences:
(1) The tesserate pattern of endoskeletal calcification has been investigated in jaws, gill arches, vertebral arches and fins of the sharks Carcharhinus menisorrah, Triaenodon obesus and Negaprion brevirostris by techniques of light and electron microscopy.
(2) The device is easy to use in a clinical setting and can be incorporated into any endoskeletal pylon.
(3) The primary mesenchyme cells (PMCs) form a syncytium and secrete an organic matrix on which calcium carbonate is laid down to form an endoskeletal spicule.
(4) The micromeres that arise at the fourth cell division in developing sea urchin embryos give rise to primary mesenchyme, which in turn differentiates and produces calcareous endoskeletal spicules.
(5) The endoskeletal forearm with soft cover is an advantage because of its lightness and cosmesis.
(6) The developing sea urchin embryo forms endoskeletal CaCO3 containing spicules which are elaborated by the primary mesenchyme cells, descendants of the micromeres, beginning at gastrulation.
(7) The addition of a quadrilateral socket, a modified SACH foot and a cosmetic foam plastic cover provides the complete endoskeletal above-knee prosthesis.
(8) An inexpensive endoskeletal prosthesis was designed using the Jaipur foot and conduit pipes with a hinge joint for the knee.
Endoskeleton
Definition:
(n.) The bony, cartilaginous, or other internal framework of an animal, as distinguished from the exoskeleton.
Example Sentences:
(1) The separate developmental origin of the exo- and endoskeletons.
(2) Fractionation of pluteus stage embryos demonstrates that the protein is localized primarily with cells that form the syncytium of primary mesenchyme that elaborates the larval endoskeleton; furthermore, immunofluorescence localizes the epitope to the periphery of the endoskeleton in situ.
(3) At present the detailed mechanism for transmembrane interactions is not known and a protein linked to the endoskeleton as well as to the exoskeleton has not been described as yet.
(4) Sensitivity was dependent on body composition (i.e., exo- vs. endoskeleton), trophic level, and life stage.
(5) The heavy chain is known to bind strongly to the endoskeleton protein actin.
(6) Prolyl hydroxylation of cartilaginous endoskeleton showed an approximately 25% decrease at 20 degrees C.
(7) The durability and function of three ankle-foot prostheses fabricated using a naturally articulated, fresh cadaveric human bone endoskeleton set in a fiber reinforced rubber shell were studied.
(8) The implants were dome shaped and did not have a metal endoskeleton.
(9) The endoskeleton foot compared favorably with the Jaipur ankle-foot prosthesis.
(10) It is suggested that the sarcoplasmic reticulum may be a part of the "endoskeleton" of the cell and may play a role in maintaining the shape and location of the nucleus.
(11) Calcified cartilage as a tissue type in the endoskeleton of sharks is a primitive vertebrate characteristic.
(12) This report describes the construction and evaluation of an ankle-foot prosthesis using human cadaveric bones as the endoskeleton inside a fiber-reinforced vulcanized rubber shell.
