Although P. americana can be found on many species of flowering plants, they tend to prefer either yellow or blue flowers over red or white flowers. [7] Variation in flower color choice may reflect individual variation in P. americana color pattern, where individuals prefer flowers which match their own body color. [5]
Phymata is a genus of assassin bugs belonging to the family Reduviidae, subfamily Phymatinae, [1] commonly called jagged ambush bugs. They can be a variety of colors, with their coloring helping them camouflage with the plants they live on.
Adults of Phymata crassipes can reach a length of about 7–9 mm. The body appear ornamented with some extrusions. Their triangular scutellum is shorter than a pronotum without prominent tubercles. They possess functional wings. They have clubbed antennae and enlarged fore femora and abdomen.
The general shape of the antennae is also quite variable, but the first segment (the one attached to the head) is always called the scape, and the second segment is called the pedicel. The remaining antennal segments or flagellomeres are called the flagellum. [17]: 8–11 General insect antenna types are shown below:
Joints of the hand, X-ray Interphalangeal ligaments and phalanges. Right hand. Deep dissection. Posterior (dorsal) view. The PIP joint exhibits great lateral stability. Its transverse diameter is greater than its antero-posterior diameter and its thick collateral ligaments are tight in all positions during flexion, contrary to those in the metacarpophalangeal joint.
After placing the wrist in the correct position, radial wrist extensors are transferred to the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon, to help stabilize the wrist in straight position. [2] If the thumb or its carpometacarpal joint is absent, centralization can be followed by pollicization. Postoperatively, a long arm plaster splinter has to be worn for ...
Rest can reduce pain and activity can make it worse, especially with rotating movements (supination and pronation) of the wrist or movements of the hand sideways in ulnar direction. Other symptoms patients with a TFCC injury frequently mention are: swelling, loss of grip strength, instability, and grinding or clicking sounds ( crepitus ) that ...
Flexor digitorum profundus is a flexor of the wrist , metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints. [2] The lumbricals, intrinsic muscles of the hand, attach to the tendon of flexor digitorum profundus. Thus, the flexor muscle is used to aid the lumbrical muscles in their role as extensors of the interphalangeal joints.
