Books with title The principal forms of the skeleton and the teeth

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from The Principal Forms of the Skeleton and of the TeethTeeth. The execution of this part of the 'circle' has been confided to that great philosophical anatomist who has so distinguished himself in working out the true principles of Osteology - principles which will doubtless soon be applied to the nomenclature and description of every branch of Anatomical Science. Avoiding the com mon practice of intrusting the special essays to literary compilers and abridgers, it has been part of the design of the work - hitherto with success - to engage, in the important task of teaching, those master-spirits who have in their day effected the greatest improvements, and made the most decided advances in their respective depart ments of science. The result has been, as is especially shown in the Essay on the Principal Forms of the Skeleton, an original exposition of the principles of Anatomical Science, and of the most important results that have been attained by its latest cultivator; such exposition being succinct without any important omission, and as clear and comprehensible as is consistent with the inevitable use of technical terms.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Not illustrated. 1854 Excerpt: ...the innermost of the second series of tarsal bones. Of all the other known existing hoofed quadrupeds, it would hardly be anticipated that the rhinoceros presented the nearest affinity to the horse; one might rather look to the light camel or dromedary; but a different modification of the entire skeleton may be traced in the animals with toes in even number, as compared with the horse and other odd-toed hoofed quadrupeds. In an extinct kind of horse (Hippopotherium), the two splint-bones are more developed, and each supports three phalanges, the last being provided with a diminutive hoof. In the extinct Palveotheria, the outer and inner digits acquired stronger.proportions, and the entire foot was shortened. The transition from the Palceotheria, by the extinct hornless rhinoceros (Acerotherium), to the existing forms of rhinoceros, is completed. In the skeleton of the rhinoceros, we find resemblances to the horse in the number of the dorsal vertebrae, in the third trochanter of the femur, and in the number of digits on each foot, albeit the two that are hidden and rudimental in the swifter quadruped are here made manifest in their full development: the concomitant shortening of the whole foot, and strengthening of the entire limbs, accord with the greater weight of the body to be supported, clad as it is with a coat-armor of thickened tuberculated hide: the broader feet, terminated each by three hoofs, afford a better basis of support in the swampy localities affected by the rhinoceros. Both scapulae and iliac bones are of greater breadth, and less length. The ulna is fully developed in the fore-limb, and the fibula in the hind-leg; but there is no power of rotation of the fore-limb in any hoofed quadruped. The upper surface of the skull is roughened for th...
