Back of a human skeleton. occipital ridge marked. The occipital ridge is the region at the back of the head where the base of the skull meets the spine. This general area is quite vulnerable, and as such, offensive maneuvers (esp. in martial arts) have been created to target the occipital ridge. If the area is hit with sufficient force, it will ...
Photosynthesis usually refers to oxygenic photosynthesis, a process that produces oxygen. Photosynthetic organisms store the chemical energy so produced within intracellular organic compounds (compounds containing carbon) like sugars, glycogen , cellulose and starches .
This plastoquinol is later oxidized back to PQ, releasing the 2e-to the cytochrome b 6 f complex and the two H + ions into the thylakoid lumen. The electrons then pass through Cyt b 6 and Cyt f to plastocyanin , using energy from photosystem I to pump hydrogen ions (H + ) into the thylakoid space.
2. In the Poaceae, an appendage terminating or on the back of glume s or lemma s of some grass spikelet s. 3. In the Geraniaceae, the part of the style that remains attached to the carpel that separates from the carpophore (column). 4. A generally straight, stiff pappus element, varying from stiffly bristle-like to hard and needle-like.
The transverse nuchal crest is a ridge at the back of the skull found in many theropods. Oriented transversally (perpendicular to the skull midline), it forms the border between the skull roof and the occipital region. It is mainly formed by the rear margin of the parietals with contributions by the squamosals.
The frontal and sphenoid bones are towards the front middle of the skull and in front of the temporal bone. The ethmoid bone is the bone at the roof of the nose that separates the nasal cavity from the brain. It is a part of the dorsal cavity the cranial cavity and the spinal cord. The occipital bone is at the back of the skull.
A new analysis of the kitten’s stunningly-preserved head and upper body shows it was just 3 weeks old when it died in what is now Russia’s northeastern Sakha Republic, also known as Yakutia.
These two terms, used in anatomy and embryology, describe something at the back (dorsal) or front/belly (ventral) of an organism. [2] The dorsal (from Latin dorsum 'back') surface of an organism refers to the back, or upper side, of an organism. If talking about the skull, the dorsal side is the top. [38]
