Introduction The antero-lateral thigh (ALT) flap is a well-established method in plastic-reconstructive surgery of the head and neck region.

The objective is to find out the variant anatomy of muscles anterior compartment leg in human fetuses at 4-6 months.Material and methods. study was performed on 28 preparations 81.0-230.0 mm parietal-coccygeal length (PCL) using macro-microscopic preparation, morphometry statistical analysis.Results. structure topography 26 months revealed classic sites origin attachment, typical shape, number ...

In this research, anatomical descriptions of the structure of the temporal bone and auditory ossicles have been performed based on dissection of ten guinea pigs. The results showed that, in guinea pig temporal bone was similar to other animals and had three parts; squamous, tympanic and petrous .The tympanic part was much better developed and consisted of oval shaped tympanic bulla with many re...

The genus Sitana was described by Cuvier (1829) on the basis of a single species, S. ponticeriana. The secondly described, Sitana minor Günther, 1864, is identical to S. ponticeriana Cuvier, 1829, and should be considered as a junior objective synonym of the latter. The syntypes of S. deccanensis Jerdon, 1870 have been rediscovered, misplaced among the syntypes of S. minor (sensu Boulenger 1885...

This study examined sexual dimorphism of head morphology in the ecologically diverse three-spined stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus. Male G. aculeatus had longer heads than female G. aculeatus in all 10 anadromous, stream and lake populations examined, and head length growth rates were significantly higher in males in half of the populations sampled, indicating that differences in head size in...

The Hybrid III 50th percentile male anthropomorphic test device (ATD) is the most widely used human impact testing surrogate and has historically been used in automotive or military testing. More recently, this ATD is finding use in applications evaluating athletic helmet protectivity, quantifying head impact dosage and estimating injury risk. But ATD head-neck response has not been quantified ...

Investigations on the role of the lateral pterygoid muscle in mandibular movements have been limited due to difficulties in obtaining consistent neuromuscular recordings in human subjects. The rhesus monkey was used as a substitute experimental animal. Thirty-three Macaca mulatta were monitored in 113 electromyographic recording sessions. Two distinct functional patterns were identified from th...

The objective of the present study was to investigate the strength of the three heads of triceps brachii muscle during handgrip force exercise with full elbow extension through surface electromyography. The myoelectric signals were recorded from the lateral, long and medial heads of triceps brachii muscle of 11 healthy men during maximal isometric contractions for 10-s of concurrent handgrip fo...
