Summary Storage of nutrients and water are important functions secondary xylem that have received much attention lately. In most these studies, the storage role has been attributed to fraction arrangement ray axial parenchyma. However, in current article, we show many species, especially those from tropical subtropical regions (where world’s plant species found), nutrient is carried out by livi...

INTRODUCTION Human sacral bones are of great interest to the anatomists, forensic experts and anthropologists as it is one of the important bones used for identification of sex in skeletal remains. Various parameters and indices are available based on which the sex can be determined using sacrum. One such important parameter is the SI. Studies shows that SI significantly varies among male and f...

Spatial ability has been found to be a good predictor of success in learning anatomy. However, little research has explored whether spatial ability can be improved through anatomy education and experience. This study had two aims: (1) to determine if spatial ability is a learned or inherent facet in learning anatomy and (2) to ascertain if there is any difference in spatial ability between expe...

The aim of the present survey was to present information about scientific workings in the field of ethnic anthropology at the Institute of Medicine (headed by Prof. J. Þilinskas) of Vytautas Magnus University (VDU) in 1920–1940. Most of works were dedicated to craniology. J. Þilinskas together with A. Jurgutis and R. Masalskis were interested in Lithuanian ethnogenesis and investigated more tha...

At the height of his scientific career, anatomist Nicolaus Steno published Elementorum myologiæ specimen (Florence, 1667), a book unlike any other anatomy until then. Rather than an book, it seemed more like mathematics, with propositions, lemmas and corollaries. is thought to have developed mathematical interests in Florence school Galileo. However, this article challenges interpretation argue...

Klippel-Feil syndrome is a condition characterized by fusion of the spine owing to failure normal segmentation cervical structures. In this case report, we aimed describe rare syndrome, show findings using imaging techniques, and demonstrate its clinical importance. A 41-year-old female patient presented our faculty hospital with neck pain. Using magnetic resonance imaging, observed decreased a...

The aim of this study is to contribute sex determination studies from the scapula in Turkish population and compare with previous studies. This was performed 200 scapulae (100 males 100 females). age range patients between 18-93 years old. Computed tomography scans were used length glenoid cavity (LGC), breadth (BGC), depth (DGC), perimeter (PM) volume (VL) measured. Randomly selected 20 measur...

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the notch and shape variations glenoid cavity (GC), emphasize its clinical importance, compare it with previous studies. Material Methods: This performed 157 (78 right sides, 79 left sides) adult Anatolian dry scapulae. GCs were typed as oval, pear, inverted comma shaped noted number GC notch. Results: most common found pear 63 (80.8%) at side, 49 (62...

Embryology, which is a part of anatomy curriculum, well known to be most difficult teach. Applied embryology important in medical practice especially obstetrics and gynecology. To support teaching embryology, few multimedia methods have been introduced for the past twenty years, such as animations, two-dimensional illustrations, three-dimensional movies, video. Innovative learning technology, p...
