(20) Compensatory growth did not affect the absolute length or width of the tarsometatarsus or testes weights at 20 wk of age.
Tarsus
Definition:
(n.) The ankle; the bones or cartilages of the part of the foot between the metatarsus and the leg, consisting in man of seven short bones.
(n.) A plate of dense connective tissue or cartilage in the eyelid of man and many animals; -- called also tarsal cartilage, and tarsal plate.
(n.) The foot of an insect or a crustacean. It usually consists of form two to five joints.
Example Sentences:
