(7) In the second trimester, the muscles and ligaments that support your uterus stretch.
(8) The articular surface of the head lacks the ligamental fossa.
(9) In the duplivincular ligament system, the lamellar ligament is stretched between the ligamental areas on the two valves, exerting a force to open the valves, while the fibrous ligament acts passively along the hinge axis.
(10) Generally, it is found in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and ligaments supporting the uterus, although it can occur in a number of different locations.
(11) Then, if necessary, the lateral ankle ligaments were repaired.
(12) Stability of the wrist depends on the geometry of the individual carpal bones and the ligamentous interconnections that control movement of one bone on another.
(13) Therefore, in larger shells, only the latest built ligamental chevrons and the ventral ends of the older ones remain functional.
(14) In other words, the stiffer the brace and its interface with the foot, the greater the proportion of the external rotation moment the brace will resist and the less the peroneal muscles and lateral ligamentous tissues have to resist.
(15) This could well be applicable to to the ligamental articulations of fossil crinoids.
(16) Both methods found all fractures, but the MRI found some significant ligamentous and carpal instabilities.
(17) As the ligamental area overgrows the hinge plate, the dorsal parts of the oldest hinge teeth are resorbed and the hinge sockets are filled up with a fibrous prismatic texture.
(18) Halfway down the larynx the paired vocal folds (commonly known as the vocal cords), formed by ligaments covered with mucous membrane, project inwards from its wall.
(19) When all support is disrupted or detached, the distal clavicle loses all ligamentous connection, allowing it to rise superiorly.
