metatarsus

1 The portion which corresponds to that which is fleshy in the horse arises from the tibia; below, it ends on the inner surface of the superior extremity of the metatarsus and the cuneiform bones.

2 "The new specimen preserves teeth, elements from all regions of the postcranial axial skeleton, parts of both appendicular girdles, and portions of both limbs including a complete metatarsus," the study's abstract reads.

3 The thoracic vertebrae number 13; the feet are digitigrade, with five front and four hind toes, of which the claws are retractile; and the metatarsus is haired all round.

4 As for the articulations of the metatarsus with the phalanges, and of the phalanges with one another, they resemble those of the anterior limb too closely that it should be necessary to study them here.

5 This was done in jumping, and the extensor tendon of each leg was ruptured and the anterior portion of the metatarsus was protruding through the skin.

6 Earlier ones like Sinornithosaurus had a relatively long metatarsus.

7 Feet black, webbed, the membrane being deeply notched, great toe articulated to the metatarsus.

8 Has the hinder part of metatarsus bald and callous.

9 Cope’s Diatryma of New Mexico, based upon a gigantic metatarsus, may also belong there.

10 The bones of the metatarsus and the phalanges are equal in number to the corresponding bones in the anterior limbs; they are formed on a type analogous to that of these latter.

11 Portions of the metacarpus, metatarsus, tibia, and femur have been detected, and the determinations of Mr. Barrett have been confirmed by Professor Owen.

12 To the tarsus succeeds the metatarsus, whose form reminds us very much of that of the metacarpals.

13 Metatarsus: Straight and parallel when seen from behind.

跖骨: 从后面看,直且平行.

14 When the upper row is united with the tibia the lower row remains distinct from the metatarsus, though no one has examined these separate tarsal bones so as to define them.

15 The muzzle is elongated, the claws on the fore-feet are long and curved, the first front toe is very short; the under surface of the metatarsus naked; and the tail shorter than the body, tapering.

16 The metatarsus is represented by a principal metatarsal, formed by the coalescence of two metatarsals; we also find in this region a very small rudimentary metatarsal.

17 Met a tar' sal, one of the bones of the metatarsus, between the ankle and the toes.

18 At its lower end the tibia forms what is known as the ankle joint by articulating with the next long bone, which is commonly called the tarsus, although the proper name would be really metatarsus.

19 Tuberculous disease in the tarsus, metatarsus, and phalanges has been considered in the chapter on Diseases of Bone.

20 Of small size, slightly higher at the croup than at the shoulders; short tail; large pits in hind feet; no groin-pits; no tuft on the metatarsus.
