(15) In contrast to other dyskeratotic processes they mature into orthokeratotic squamae.
(16) Because of the anatomical features of this region, the penetrating instrument is deflected by the occipital squama into the atlantooccipital or atlantoaxial interspace, and an almost predictable syndrome occurs.
(17) In contrast, adult male A. boisei crania exhibit a unique pattern where the temporal squama overlaps the parietal which, in turn, overlaps the par mastoidea and the upper scale of the occipital bone.
(18) The surgical procedure employed is essentially the same as that used in adults with a few modifications to accommodate for the smaller dimensions of the mastoid process and the thinness of the scalp and temporal squama.
(19) Comparing morphogeneses of the squama and the spur, it is possible to conclude that phylogenetic transformation of the squama into the spur is performed by two means (modi) of phyloembryogenesis: by means of adding new signs of development to the initial terminal stages of its morphogenesis.
(20) The invariable findings of an extremely short squama and orbital part of the frontal bone together with the posterior convexity of the coronal bone condensation line suggest that growth inhibition in the sphenofrontal and coronal suture area has its onset very early in fetal life.

Definition:
(n.) A scale.
(n.) The scale, or exopodite, of an antenna of a crustacean.
Example Sentences:

(4) Depending on the culture system, the extent of terminal differentiation and squame accumulation varies.
(5) The Feulgen-DNA contents of human leukocytes, sperm, and oral squames were investigated by scanning and integrating microdensitometry, both with and without correction for residual distribution error and glare.

(10) Photomicrographs show fetal squames and lanugo hairs in the pulmonary capillaries as well as ones aspirated from the right atrium.
(11) We have performed studied of reaggregation from single squames prepared by these methods.
(12) Thus, reporting the presence of anucleated squames in the absence of any other abnormality appears to be of marginal value as a screening procedure for predicting the existence of a significant lesion.
