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.
The distal tendon arising from the long head of the biceps muscle inserts onto the proximal bicipital tuberosity and the distal tendon of the short head inserts onto the distal portion of the bicipital tuberosity2. The insertional footprint of the short head is larger than the more proximal long head1,2.
