Bone spurs extended from the base of his skull down his spine, ending at the tip of his tail, while a similar spur extended from his heel on each foot.
The simple, unlobed leaves of Bauhinia also differ from those of Cercis in the tribe Cercideae in the former usually bearing fewer and weaker secondary veins along the distal third of the midvein and a mucro or spine at the leaf tip [ 59].
The longest component of the tail spine is the distal spine (i.e. spine section from the tip of the spine to the first set of instar barbs), which is present at birth and does not change with instar development (i.e. the length of the distal segment does not grow).
Because of their long tails and the spine-like appendage at the tip, the eurypterids have been called sea-scorpions.
Spine head width was defined as the maximum dimension of the spine head, whereas spine length was defined as the distance from the base of the spine neck to the tip of the spine head.
As I strained at Boomer's collar and tried to pin his 60 muscular pounds to the towel with one hand, I tried some effleurage (stroking) techniques, down his spine, to the tip of the tail, as Ms. Belkin instructed.
Dual-color super-resolution imaging of mature dendritic spines revealed that Shank2 is located at the tip of the spines, overlaps only partially with the ABP-tdEosFP signal, and was occasionally associated with cup shapes as well as with actin-free areas of the spine head (Fig. 2F).
The use of scanning electron microscopy has shown that the spines are 0.90 1.45 µm long, rounded at the tip, narrow, tapered, and sometime joined together at the top.
Habit: Perennial herb to tree, unarmed or main leaf axis a weak spine at tip or branches a weak thorn at tip.
Rawles will set off from Costa Rica in Central America in December, following the spine of the Andes to Cape Horn at the tip of the continent.
