(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.
Vertebrate
Definition:
(n.) One of the Vertebrata.
(a.) Alt. of Vertebrated
Example Sentences:
(1) Local embolism, vertebral distal-stump embolism, the dynamics of hemorrhagic infarction and embolus-in-transit are briefly described.
(2) An axillo-axillary bypass procedure was performed in a high-risk patient with innominate arterial stenosis who had repeated episodes of transient cerebral ischemia due to decreased blood flow through the right carotid artery and reversal of blood flow through the right vertebral artery.
(3) Two cases of posterior lumbar vertebral rim fracture and associated disc protrusion in adolescents are presented.
(4) The greatest advantages of spinal QCT for noninvasive bone mineral measurement lie in the high precision of the technique, the high sensitivity of the vertebral trabecular measurement site, and the potential for widespread application.
(5) With the successful culture of these tissues, their development, biochemistry, and physiology, potentially of great importance in understanding early vertebrate evolution, can be better understood.
(6) In this paper, we examine corticosteroid 11 beta-oxidation and 11-reduction as properties of the microsomal 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase complex in vertebrate livers.
(7) The bony elements of both adjacent vertebral bodies are secondarily involved.

(9) Neural crest cells give rise to various essential tissues in vertebrates.
(10) Per-rotational nystagmus was recorded in rabbits with unilaterally narrowed vertebral arteries or following unilateral cervical sympathectomies.

(15) Genetic studies in yeast demonstrate that vertebrate calmodulin can functionally replace yeast calmodulin.
(16) The 76-residue protein exhibits one difference towards a murine form, is identical to other characterized vertebrate ubiquitins, and confirms an extensive conservation of the ubiquitin structure.
(17) This was true even when the locations of low resistance areas along the dorsal trunk were compared to only those vertebral palpatory findings rated as "severe."
(18) CT possesses some advantages over roentgenography in the diagnosis of degenerative vertebral diseases and can be recommended as the principal method together with roentgenography for investigation of patients with lumbar pains.
