The legs arise from the mesopleuron and metapleura. The mesothorax and metathorax each have a pleural suture (mesopleural and metapleural sutures) that runs from the wing base to the coxa of the leg. The sclerite anterior to the pleural suture is called the episternum (serially, the mesepisternum and metepisternum).
The mesothorax is the middle of the three segments of the thorax of hexapods, and bears the second pair of legs. Its principal sclerites (exoskeletal plates) are the mesonotum ( dorsal ), the mesosternum ( ventral ), and the mesopleuron ( lateral ) on each side.
It is formed by the prothorax, mesothorax and metathorax and comprises the scutellum; the cervix, a membrane that separates the head from the thorax; and the pleuron, a lateral sclerite of the thorax. In dragonflies and damselflies, the mesothorax and metathorax are fused together to form the synthorax. [1] [2]
Metapleural glands (also called metasternal or metathoracic glands) are secretory glands that were considered unique to ants and basal in the evolutionary history of ants. They are responsible for the production of an antibiotic fluid that then collects in a reservoir on the posterior of the ant's alitrunk .
Two widely touted Alzheimer’s drugs have been shown to enable patients to remain in their homes for longer periods of time. Those medications, however, are not without their risks and side effects.
With the use of stabilizers and PDS sutures, bar displacement rarely occurs. [ 4 ] : 1276, 1280 [ 5 ] : 340–1 If these methods of bar fixation are not used, bar displacement may occur. This can be quite painful and requires some sort of intervention: either bar removal, or repositioning of the bar with some sort of bar fixation.
Wildlife experts say to watch elephant behavior and be wary if an elephant is growing agitated. Before an attack, elephants may stomp the ground, trumpet, shake their head, or hold their tail up.
Soto went on to explain that Cohen and Mets management presented a vision for the future of the team and how they plan to build on the talent assembled over the life of his 15-year contract.
