Water relations of tetrapod integument.
The vertebrate integument represents an evolutionary compromise between the needs for mechanical protection and those of sensing the environment and regulating the exchange of materials and energy. Fibrous keratins evolved as a means of strengthening the integument while simultaneously providing a structural support for lipids, which comprise the principal barrier to cutaneous water efflux in t...
متن کاملLungfish Axial Muscle Function and the Vertebrate Water to Land Transition
The role of axial form and function during the vertebrate water to land transition is poorly understood, in part because patterns of axial movement lack morphological correlates. The few studies available from elongate, semi-aquatic vertebrates suggest that moving on land may be powered simply from modifications of generalized swimming axial motor patterns and kinematics. Lungfish are an ideal ...
متن کاملSoft tissue anatomy within the vertebral canal in pregnant women.
To clarify pregnancy-induced changes in soft tissue anatomy within the vertebral canal, we have studied magnetic resonance (MR) images of the lumbar spine in three women. In each subject, T2-weighted axial MR images were obtained both before pregnancy and at 32 weeks' gestation, and the paired images were compared. The extradural venous plexus was engorged significantly in supine parturients. I...
متن کاملThree-dimensional Facial Anatomy: Structure and Function as It Relates to Injectable Neuromodulators and Soft Tissue Fillers
BACKGROUND The advent of new neuromodulators and soft-tissue fillers continues to expand the nonsurgical repertoire of the core cosmetic physician. METHODS The authors review relevant facial anatomy as it relates to facial aging and the resultant structural changes that occur. These changes are important for the cosmetic physician to identify and understand in order to perform both safe and e...
متن کاملReconstructing anatomy from electro-physiological data
Here we show how it is possible to make estimates of brain structure based on MEG data. We do this by reconstructing functional estimates onto distorted cortical manifolds parameterised in terms of their spherical harmonics. We demonstrate that both empirical and simulated MEG data give rise to consistent and plausible anatomical estimates. Importantly, the estimation of structure from MEG data...
