https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control-Lyapunov%20function | In control theory, a control-Lyapunov function (CLF) is an extension of the idea of Lyapunov function to systems with control inputs. The ordinary Lyapunov function is used to test whether a dynamical system is (Lyapunov) stable or (more restrictively) asymptotically stable. Lyapunov stability means that if the syst... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNF%20inhibitor | A TNF inhibitor is a pharmaceutical drug that suppresses the physiologic response to tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which is part of the inflammatory response. TNF is involved in autoimmune and immune-mediated disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, hidradeni... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majewski%27s%20polydactyly%20syndrome | Majewski's polydactyly syndrome, also known as polydactyly with neonatal chondrodystrophy type I, short rib-polydactyly syndrome type II, and shorts rib-polydactyly syndrome, is a lethal form of neonatal dwarfism characterized by osteochondrodysplasia (skeletal abnormalities in the development of bone and cartilage) wi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat%20bone | Flat bones are bones whose principal function is either extensive protection or the provision of broad surfaces for muscular attachment. These bones are expanded into broad, flat plates, as in the cranium (skull), the ilium (pelvis), sternum and the rib cage.
The flat bones are: the occipital, parietal, frontal, nasal... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossification%20center | An ossification center is a point where ossification of the cartilage begins. The first step in ossification is that the cartilage cells at this point enlarge and arrange themselves in rows.
The matrix in which they are imbedded increases in quantity, so that the cells become further separated from each other.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital%20condyles | The occipital condyles are undersurface protuberances of the occipital bone in vertebrates, which function in articulation with the superior facets of the atlas vertebra.
The condyles are oval or reniform (kidney-shaped) in shape, and their anterior extremities, directed forward and medialward, are closer together tha... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interspinous%20ligament | The interspinous ligaments (interspinal ligaments) are thin, membranous ligaments that connect adjoining spinous processes of the vertebra in the spine. They take the form of relatively weak sheets of fibrous tissue and are well developed only in the lumbar region.
They extend from the root to the apex of each spinous... |
