概括
为了3D研究,重组灵长类骨盆骨引入了最小的误差,保留了生物信号. 然而,具有大阴部间隙的物种可能会由于软组织的影响而显示低估的测量值.
科学领域:
- 古人类学古人类学.
- 比较解剖学的比较解剖学
- 三维形态测量 3D形态测量
背景情况:
- 研究灵长类的骨盆进化通常涉及重新articulating 脱节的骨头.
- 这种重新表达过程可能会引入影响生物信号的错误.
研究的目的:
- 评估重新关节错误对灵长类动物3D骨盆形状分析的影响.
- 为了确定重新表达技术是否会损害进化研究中的生物信号的完整性.
主要方法:
- 计算机断层扫描 (CT) 扫描灵长类人骨盆的虚拟重述 (Homo sapiens,Pan troglodytes,Macaca mulatta,Lepilemur mustelinus,Galago senegalensis,Nycticebus pygmaeus). 这是一个非常简单的方法.
- "尸体" (解剖学定位) 骨盆与使用3D地标和线性测量重新构成的模型进行比较.
- 定量地标和重新表达错误的量化.
主要成果:
- 重构骨盆与尸体骨盆不同,但物种和个体之间的形状差异大于重构错误.
- 在骨盆形状的生物信号是强大的对重构噪声.
- 由于软组织的不确定性,在有大阴部间隙的物种 (例如,Galago senegalensis,Nycticebus pygmaeus) 中发生了中侧骨盆测量的低估.
结论:
- 灵长类骨盆骨的重新关节是对3D形态学的比较研究的可靠方法.
- 在骨盆进化研究中的生物信号在很大程度上不受重新articulation的影响.
- 优先使用解剖学连接的骨盆,以提高准确性,对于具有宽的阴部间隙的物种.

Articulations of the Vertebral Column
1.9K
In addition to being held together by the intervertebral discs, adjacent vertebrae also articulate with each other at synovial joints formed between the superior and inferior articular processes called zygapophysial joints (facet joints). These are plane joints that provide for only limited motions between the vertebrae. The orientation of the articular processes at these joints varies in different regions of the vertebral column and serves to determine the types of motions available in each...

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age
2.0K
The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

Overview of the Axial Skeleton
5.4K
The skeleton is subdivided into two major divisions—the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton forms the vertical, central axis of the body. It includes all of the bones of the head, neck, chest, and back. It protects the brain, spinal cord, heart, and lungs. It also serves as the attachment site for muscles that move the head, neck, and back and for muscles that act across the shoulder and hip joints to move their corresponding limbs.
