The corner stitch is a common suture technique. [1] It used to close wounds that are angled or Y-shaped without appreciably compromising blood supply to the wound tip. [2] [3] The corner stitch is a variation of the horizontal mattress stitch, and is sometimes called the "half-buried horizontal mattress stitch". [4]
The chambers are separated by walls called septa. The line where each septum meets the outer shell is called the suture or suture line. Like other true ammonites, Baculites have intricate suture patterns on their shells that can be used to identify different species.
In anatomy, a suture is a fairly rigid joint between two or more hard elements of an organism, with or without significant overlap of the elements. [ 1 ] Sutures are found in the skeletons or exoskeletons of a wide range of animals, in both invertebrates and vertebrates .
Wormian bones, also known as intrasutural bones or sutural bones, [1] are extra bone pieces that can occur within a suture (joint) in the skull.These are irregular isolated bones that can appear in addition to the usual centres of ossification of the skull and, although unusual, are not rare. [2]
The ecdysial suture is longitudinally placed on the vertex, separating the epicranial halves of the head to the left and right sides. Depending on the insect, the suture may come in different shapes: like either a Y, U or V. Those diverging lines that make up the ecdysial suture are called the frontal or frontogenal sutures.
Lancelets are passive filter feeders, [14] spending most of the time half-buried in sand with only their frontal part protruding. [66] They eat a wide variety of small planktonic organisms, such as bacteria, fungi , diatoms , and zooplankton , and they will also take detritus . [ 67 ]
A fresh pig carcass. At this stage the remains are usually intact and free of insects. The corpse progresses through algor mortis (a reduction in body temperature until ambient temperature is reached), rigor mortis (the temporary stiffening of the limbs due to chemical changes in the muscles), and livor mortis (pooling of the blood on the side of the body that is closest to the ground).
Mortuary archaeology is the study of human remains in their archaeological context. This is a known sub-field of bioarchaeology, which is a field that focuses on gathering important information based on the skeleton of an individual.
