Larvae and Postlarvae. Planktonic larval life begins as the female lobster raises her abdomen and vigorously fans the pleopods to which the prelarvae are attached. This fanning breaks the cement attachment to the prelarvae and propels them upwards toward the water surface.
bicipital tuberosity. [bÄ«â²sipÂ·ÉdÂ·Él âtÃ¼bÂ·Éâ²rÃ¤sÂ·ÉdÂ·Ä] (anatomy) An eminence on the anterior inner aspect of the neck of the radius; the tendon of the biceps muscle is inserted here.
Enthesophyte formation at the radial tuberosity is common and is thought to be a contributing factor in some tears of the distal biceps tendon (Figs 16, 17) (13). The bicipitoradial bursa lies between the distal biceps tendon and the anterior part of the radial tuberosity (Fig 18).
