Sentence examples for vertebral processes from inspiring English sources

Contractions of these segments, each attached to adjacent vertebrae and vertebral processes, bends the body on the vertebral joint, producing successive undulations of the body, passing from the head to the tail, and producing driving strokes of the tail.

Nine days after SCI, mice were re-anesthetized, the laminectomy site re-exposed, and the animals were secured in a spinal stereotaxic frame by clamping the T8 and T10 lateral vertebral processes.

Another site of inflammation was facet joints of the dorsal vertebral processes (Fig. 5D).

Lateral field margins were defined by the ends of the lateral vertebral processes, resulting in a width of the fields between 9 and 11 cm.

Posterior mediastinal lesions cause splaying of the adjacent posterior ribs and widening of the paraspinal lines, especially the left, which extends beyond the transverse vertebral processes; erosion of the adjacent vertebral pedicles implies intraspinal extension of the tumour [ 6].

The resultant terms he created are partially landmark based, typically relying on a single vertebral process (e.g., the prezygapophysis) and an orientational descriptor (e.g., "pre", "post"; above or below table).

As demonstrated by Lindgren et al. [28], the tails of derived mosasaurs can be subdivided into four discrete subregions (stable proximal tail base, mid-sectional displacement unit, narrow caudal peduncle, and distal propulsive surface or fluke) based on regional variations in vertebral centrum dimensions and discrepancies in vertebral process length and spine orientation (Figure 8A).

In particular, mice with a deletion of TGFβR2 in chondrocytes display abnormalities in the axial skeleton, including bifurcation of the xiphoid process, abnormal morphogenesis of the C1, C2 vertebrae, and malformation of the vertebral transverse processes, which are not present in Tak1col2 mice (Serra et al, 1997; Baffi et al, 2004).

Briefly, a small incision on the skin overlaying left side L5 S1 was made and the vertebral transverse processes were exposed after retraction of the paravertebral musculature.

The image at the level of the third lumbar vertebra (L3) most clearly displaying both vertebral transverse processes will be chosen for measuring muscle area, since total cross sectional skeletal muscle area at this level is highly correlated with whole body skeletal muscle mass [ 37, 38].
