It has a conical bore that extends in length from roughly 5 to 8 feet (1.5 to 2.5 metres) in a bent S-shape (somewhat resembling a mammoth tusk) and ends in an embossed metal disk.
In the early growth of the leaf primordium, new cells are contributed mainly by meristematic activity at the pole directed away from the stem, so that the buttress extends in length.
As the leaf extends in length, the tissues begin to mature first at the tip, and a wave of differentiation passes down toward the base, where cell division and extension growth may continue long after the tip of the leaf is mature.
The essence or nature of a body is to be extended (in length, breadth, and depth).
For, according to Descartes' metaphysics, the nature of mind is to think and the nature of body is to be extended in length, breadth, and depth.
Desgabets subscribed completely to the Cartesian doctrine of matter which holds that matter is a substance extended in length, width, and breadth.
Matter, or corporeal substance, is clearly known when it is viewed as the geometrical object of mathematicians, as a magnitude extended in length, width and breadth.
See Fig. 12 Figure 12 Optical micrograph of Au tubes with micro-diameter and multiple walls that were very extended in length and hence entangled with each other.
Gas chromatographic columns, greatly extended in length by the use of paired columns in a recycling apparatus, have been used to separate butane (n-C4H10) from deuterated butane (n-C4D10) and methane (CH4) from deuterated methane (CD4).
