  2. Suture (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suture_(geology)

    In plate tectonics, sutures are the remains of subduction zones, and the terranes that are joined are interpreted as fragments of different palaeocontinents or tectonic plates. Outcrops of sutures can vary in width from a few hundred meters to a couple of kilometers. They can be networks of mylonitic shear zones or brittle fault zones, but are ...

    A synthetic adsorbable suture material. Braided synthetic adsorbable multifilament made of polyglycolic acid and coated with N-laurin and L-lysine, which render the thread extremely smooth, soft and knot safe. A synthetic adsorbable suture material. Monofilament synthetic absorbable suture, prepared from the polyester, poly (p-dioxanone ...

  4. List of tectonic plate interactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tectonic_plate...

    Obduction zones occurs when the continental plate is pushed under the oceanic plate, but this is unusual as the relative densities of the tectonic plates favours subduction of the oceanic plate. This causes the oceanic plate to buckle and usually results in a new mid-ocean ridge forming and turning the obduction into subduction. [citation needed]

  5. Surgical suture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgical_suture

    The 2nd-century Roman physician Galen described sutures made of surgical gut or catgut. [27] In the 10th century, the catgut suture along with the surgery needle were used in operations by Abulcasis. [28] [29] The gut suture was similar to that of strings for violins, guitars, and tennis racquets and it involved harvesting sheep or cow ...

  6. Continental collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_collision

    The continental crust on the downgoing plate is deeply subducted as part of the downgoing plate during collision, defined as buoyant crust entering a subduction zone. An unknown proportion of subducted continental crust returns to the surface as ultra-high pressure (UHP) metamorphic terranes, which contain metamorphic coesite and/or diamond plus or minus unusual silicon-rich garnets and/or ...

  7. Suture (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suture_(anatomy)

    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 .

  8. List of tectonic plates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tectonic_plates

    This is a list of tectonic plates on Earth's surface. Tectonic plates are pieces of Earth's crust and uppermost mantle, together referred to as the lithosphere. The plates are around 100 km (62 mi) thick and consist of two principal types of material: oceanic crust (also called sima from silicon and magnesium) and continental crust (sial from ...

  9. History of surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_surgery

    Plates vi and vii of the Edwin Smith Papyrus (around the 17th century BC), among the earliest medical texts. The Edwin Smith Papyrus is a lesser known papyrus dating from the 1600 BCE and only 5 meters in length. It is a manual for performing traumatic surgery and gives 48 case histories.
