1,798,435 | The epipterygoid, a small, triangular structure, separates the pterygoid from the maxilla. Instead of being vertical or even slightly overturned as seen in most ankylosaurids, the main body of the pterygoids is near horizontal which, as a result, makes the interpterygoid vacuity in palatal view. The occipital condyle l... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=21100859 | 1,797,426 |
1,695,307 | Paper-based microfluidic devices have several applications outside of the medical field. For example, paper-based biosensors have been used extensively in environmental monitoring.
