* Steroid-induced osteoporosis ( SIOP ) arises due to use of glucocorticoids-analogous to Cushing's syndrome and involving mainly the axial skeleton.

These bones are organized into a longitudinal axis, the axial skeleton, to which the appendicular skeleton is attached.

The early types resembled their cartilaginous forefathers in many aspects of their anatomy, including a shark-like tailfin, spiral gut, large pectoral fins stiffened in front by skeletal elements and a largely unossified axial skeleton.

350px Human newborns have over 270 bones some of which fuse together into a longitudinal axis, the axial skeleton, to which the appendicular skeleton is attached.

The axial skeleton ( 80 bones ) is formed by the vertebral column ( 26 ), the rib cage ( 12 pairs of ribs and the sternum ), and the skull ( 22 bones and 7 associated bones ).

The upright posture of humans is maintained by the axial skeleton, which transmits the weight from the head, the trunk, and the upper extremities down to the lower extremities at the hip joints.

This is a series of X-rays of the skull, axial skeleton and proximal long bones.

Ankylosing spondylitis ( AS, from Greek ankylos, stiff ; spondylos, vertebrae ), previously known as Bekhterev's disease, Bekhterev syndrome, and Marie-Strümpell disease, is a chronic inflammatory disease of the axial skeleton with variable involvement of peripheral joints and nonarticular structures.

Functionally it is involved in locomotion ( Lower limbs ) of the axial skeleton and manipulation of objects in the environment ( Upper limbs ).

The appendicular skeleton of 126 bones and the axial skeleton of 80 bones together form the complete skeleton of 206 bones in the human body.

Unlike the axial skeleton, the appendicular skeleton is unfused.

Seronegative spondyloarthropathy ( or seronegative spondyloarthritis ) is a group of diseases involving the axial skeleton and having a negative serostatus.

The axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton together form the complete skeleton.

This article mainly deals with the axial skeletons of humans ; however, it is important to understand the evolutionary lineage of the axial skeleton.

The human axial skeleton consists of 80 different bones.

These are the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton.

This technology consists in fractionating chips by a small controlled axial vibration of the drill.

The main principle consists in generating axial vibrations or oscillations in addition to the feed movement of the drill so that chips could be fractionated and easily removed from the cutting zone.

The process consists of two steps in which the braiding carriers move completely through the structure between the axial carriers.

* AX < sub > 5 </ sub >: axial three-center four-electron bond occupying a p-orbital, equatorial plane consists of three sp < sup > 2 </ sup > hybridised orbitals.

Each of these torches consists of a casing provided with a nozzle and an axial tubing for feeding a plasma-forming gas ( either nitrogen or argon ), and a burnable cylindrical graphite electrode located within the tubing.

An axial-flow pump, or AFP, is a common type of pump that essentially consists of a propeller ( an axial impeller ) in a pipe.

Judging from the relatively weak axial musculature and the thick bones in the limbs, Basilosaurus is not believed to have been capable of sustained swimming or deep diving.

A skeletal survey is a series of X-rays of all the bones in the body, or at least the axial skeleton and the large cortical bones.

This nut has a perpendicular center slot for the bolt, and an intersecting axial slot for the string, along with a lower face or slot against which the internal trigger sits.

Gell-Mann and Richard Feynman, working together, along with the independent duo of George Sudarshan and Robert Marshak, were the first to discover the vector and axial vector structures of the weak interaction in physics.

The fluid enters along the axial plane, is accelerated by the impeller and exits at right angles to the shaft ( radially ).

When ∆ r is small compared to R, the terms after the first residual term are very small and can be neglected, giving the approximate tidal acceleration ( axial ) for the distances ∆ r considered, along the axis joining the centers of m and M:

* C-Slot: propellant with large wedge cut out of side ( along axial direction ), producing fairly long regressive thrust, though has thermal difficulties and asymmetric CG characteristics.

In practice, for rotating bodies, this seasonal effect increases along with the axial tilt.

In digital sensors, axial CA results in the red and blue planes being defocused ( assuming that the green plane is in focus ), which is relatively difficult to remedy in post-processing, while transverse CA results in the red, green, and blue planes being at different magnifications ( magnification changing along radii, as in geometric distortion ), and can be corrected by radially scaling the planes appropriately so they line up.

For an object with an eccentric orbit but no axial tilt, the analemma would be a straight east-west line along the celestial equator.

Second, due to Earth's axial tilt ( known as the obliquity of the ecliptic ), the Sun's annual motion is along a great circle ( the ecliptic ) that is tilted to Earth's celestial equator.

In birds, tendon ossification primarily occurs in the hindlimb, while in ornithischian dinosaurs, ossified axial muscle tendons form a latticework along the neural and haemal spines on the tail, presumably for support.

It can also be referred to as axial drift velocity since particles defined are assumed to be moving along a plane.

The surviving mud brick walls lead to the conclusion that this palace, relatively small, was composed of tall single-story rooms surrounding a central court along with four axial iwans at the entrance to each side ( Ettinghausen 276 ).

* Plain of Achada-Extending from Topo to the stratovolcano the Achada Plain is an axial zone comprising spatter and lava cones along a mountainous ridge filled with lake-filled craters, dense scrub and forests.

The net force in this case is along the axial direction of the trap, which cancels out the scattering force of the laser light.

Given a vector at the north pole, one can transport this vector along a curve by rotating the sphere in such a way that the north pole moves along the curve without axial rolling.

The complex faces east and is built along a central axial line.

Axial compressors are almost always multi-staged, with the cross-sectional area of the gas passage diminishing along the compressor to maintain an optimum axial Mach number.

This in turn depends on the axial component of the interstellar magnetic field B < sub >||</ sub >, and the number density of electrons n < sub > e </ sub >, both of which vary along the propagation path.

This potential produces a saddle point in the centre of the trap, which traps ions along the axial direction.

The structural organization of PPV chains resembles that found in other highly oriented rigid-rod polymers, where the molecules are oriented along the fiber axis ( often the stretching direction ) but with partial axial translational disorder.

There were historically two axial roads through the township, the modern main road along the east-west axis and the combination of Darfield Road, Snydale Road, Royston Road, and the now defunct Downend Hill Lane leading to Royston along the north-south axis.

If a hole has an axial split along it, such as a split bush or a clamping hole, each straight tooth will in turn drop into the gap causing the other teeth to retract from their cutting position.
