The motor points of the skeletal muscles, mainly of interest to anatomists and physiologists, have recently attracted much attention from researchers in the field of functional electrical stimulation. The muscle motor point has been defined as the entry point of the motor nerve branch into the epimysium of the muscle belly. Anatomists have pointed out that many muscles in the limbs have multipl...

the years around 1700, while damning the persistent presence of theoretical inquiries-he calls them "philosophical meanderings" (p. 170)-concerning generation. Because early modem medical interest in monstrous births was largely motivated and structured by debates on generation, Wilson's intolerance of, and unfamiliarity with them renders this aspect of his book at best unrevealing.

This article was printed with Gothic script and in Danish, so was, and still is, accessible to only a limited public. Jacobson's contribution to natural science was astonishing, considering the large number of studies carried out on the anatomy of different animals up to...

This study investigated the anatomical and non-anatomical characteristics of six wood species, Acacia mangium, hybrid, Dillenia pentagyna, Anacardium occidentale, Hevea brasiliensis, Melaleuca cajuputi, from a plantation in Vietnam. The were observed following International Association Wood Anatomists (IAWA) list. All species showed diffuse porosity non-septate fibers. Exclusively solitary vess...

Cranial capacity is indicative of brain volume and important for deciding racial sexual characteristics in physical anthropological studies. It measured both directly by filling the cranial cavity with various materials like lead shots, mustard, cast etc indirectly using derivation formulae. In present study, mustard seeds calibrated glass cylinder. The range 1120- 1650 cc 800-1280 male female ...

Variations of the brachial plexus and median nerve relationships with axillary artery may be significant to anatomists, radiologists, anesthesiologists, surgeons. In some cases, coexistence anatomical variations nerves vessels also a source conflict between individual structures, e.g., entrapment neuropathy due atypical (superficial nerve) course artery. The presented report describes coexistin...
