(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.
Exoskeletal
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to the exoskeleton; as exoskeletal muscles.
Example Sentences:
(1) The error due to exoskeletal attachment was corrected by the method of 4 x 4 matrix.
(2) Individual joint angular positions were transduced using planar electrogoniometers of an exoskeletal linkage design.
(3) We have examined three potential targets of octopamine action of the lobster--hemolymph, heart and exoskeletal muscle--and found that each tissue responds to the amine with increases in cyclic adenosine 3': 5'-monophosphate (cAMP) and changes in measurable physiological phenomena.
(4) In the immediate postoperative period, the exoskeletal architecture of these implants is readily appreciated.
(5) Preliminary studies show that this peptide can act as a modulator of exoskeletal and cardiac neuromuscular junctions.
(6) The more sclerotized exoskeletal elements, such as integumentary scales and the body sclerites together with their setae and sensilla, were highlighted by staining with carbol fuchsin.
(7) Octopamine, serotonin and dopamine all increase cAMP levels in lobster exoskeletal muscle preparations, and each amine causes changes in muscle tension and the strength of nerve evoked contractions.
(8) In contrast, no FLI was detected in motor axons innervating exoskeletal muscles of the abdomen.
(9) The first vertebrate exoskeletal skeletogenic ability was expressed as denticles of dentine.
(10) Exoskeletal remains of larval Mansonia were recovered from 43.5% of stomachs dissected from G. holbrooki, but not from Heterandria formosa (least killifish) collected from two undisturbed ponds covered with water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.).
(11) Exoskeletal fixation or skeletal traction for compound and comminuted fractures is recommended for simplicity of application and wound management.
(12) We have screened extracts of neural and neurosecretory structures for the capacity to promote cyclic GMP accumulation in isolated exoskeletal muscles.
(13) In addition, the localization of FLI to particular neuronal somata, fiber tracts, and neuropil regions suggests possible functional roles for these peptides in (1) integration of visual and olfactory information, (2) function of the anterior and posterior gut, and (3) the control of exoskeletal muscles.
(14) Together with the rostral part of the nasal septum, they join in the prolongation of the dolphin head and hold the space for the exoskeletal dermal bones which develop later.
(15) Octopamine can increase the strength of contraction of exoskeletal muscles and, at higher concentrations, can induce contractures in these muscles.
