The velar chord and dynamic integration of the gular valve in crocodylians
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Crocodilians have a unique gular valve that forms a seal between the oral cavity and the pharynx. The gular valve has traditionally been treated as two parts: a mobile ventral flap associated with the tongue and a fixed dorsal velum palatini. This work describes a connective tissue band, the velar chord, which functionally integrates the two parts of ...

Early life functional transitions impact craniofacial morphology in osteogenesis imperfecta
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Early life behaviors have a profound role in shaping adult craniofacial morphology. During early life, all mammals undergo the dynamic transition from suckling to mastication, a period coinciding with rapid cranial biomineralization. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder that impacts the production of type I collagen, disrupts ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Measurement of respiratory–swallowing coordination using an oronasal facemask in healthy individuals
Experimental PhysiologyRespiratory–swallowing coordination (RSC) is well established as an essential airway‐protective mechanism. Previous studies have used nasal airflow and/or kinematic rib cage and abdominal measures to assess respiration surrounding swallowing, meaning ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract With the development of dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA), there has been an increasing application of DMTA for dietary estimation in extant and fossil reptiles, including dinosaurs. While numerous feeding experiments exist for herbivorous mammals, knowledge remains limited for carnivorous reptiles. This study aimed to qualitatively and

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Mysticetes, or baleen whales, have an air sac on the ventral surface of the larynx known as the “laryngeal sac.” The primary hypothesis regarding this structure's function is that it is involved in sound production. However, several other functions have been proposed, including air recycling, air storage, and even buoyancy control.
