bony structure

By comparing their newly sequenced cattle horn transcriptome to deer antler and pig skin transcriptomes, Calamari and Flynn confirmed for the first time with transcriptomes that family-specific differences in headgear likely evolved as elaborations on a general bony structure inherited from a common ancestor.

In a preprint study posted last month on bioRxiv, researchers reported using CT scans of skulls of 45 dog breeds to measure a bony structure, the cribriform plate, that is perforated by olfactory nerves.

Then, they used those models to measure the area of a bony structure in the skull known as the cribriform plate, which is perforated by olfactory nerves that shuttle scent information to the brain.

It can involve a suite of involuntary pelvic contractions in the bony structure near the base of the spine, while also flushing the body with hormones and neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which help cells send signals to one another.

But he said it would be "unusual for a self-inflicted wound to pass through a bony structure".
