The growth plate consists of highly ordered rows of cartilage cells; the row farthest removed from the bony shaft is a basal or germinal layer, responsible for cell replication and cartilage growth.
As landmarks, the center of the RW at the bony overhang (R), the basal center of the modiolus (C), the apical center of the modiolus (A), and the inner wall at 0° reference angle (I) were defined.
CT confirms bony obliteration in the proximal basal turn of the right cochlea (black arrows in g), but no signs of obliteration on the left (h).
A small hole was made in the bony wall of the cochlea over the basal turn of the scala media.
A small hole was made in the bony wall of the cochlea over the basal turn scala media, and a micropipette electrode filled with 150 m m KCl was advanced through the hole and through the spiral ligament of the lateral wall into the scala media.
Scelidosaurus (Fig. 5d), Emausaurus, and Scutellosaurus from the Early Jurassic are more basal than both ankylosaurs and stegosaurs but like them have bony plates in their skin, though they are simpler.
The glass micropipettes were controlled to penetrate into either the scala media through the soft bony cochlear shell of early postnatal mice near the basal cochlear turn or the scala tympani through the round window membrane.
These bony fish taxa included two sarcopterygians (coelacanth and lungfish), nine basal actinopterygians (polypterids, acipenseriforms, lepisosteids, and amiid), and 41 teleosts, including 10 cichlids.
This nomenclatural system consists of a total of 10 new terms: The bony canal that holds any portion of the internal carotid artery, absent, among others, in basal turtles and paracryptodires.
