The journal publishes original papers, invited review articles and book reviews. Its main focus is to understand anatomy through an analysis of structure, function, development and evolution. Priority will be given to studies of that clearly articulate their relevance to the anatomical community. Focal areas include: experimental studies, contributions based on molecular and cell biology and on the application of modern imaging techniques and papers with novel methods or synthetic perspective on an anatomical system.</p> <p>Studies that are essentially descriptive anatomy are appropriate only if they communicate clearly a broader functional or evolutionary significance. You must clearly state the broader implications of your work in the abstract.</p> <p>We particularly welcome submissions in the following areas:</p> <ul> <li>Cell biology and tissue architecture</li> <li>Comparative functional morphology</li> <li>Developmental biology</li> <li>Evolutionary developmental biology</li> <li>Evolutionary morphology</li> <li>Functional human anatomy</li> <li>Integrative vertebrate paleontology</li> <li>Methodological innovations in anatomical research</li> <li>Musculoskeletal system</li> <li>Neuroanatomy and neurodegeneration</li> <li>Significant advances in anatomical education.</li> </ul> <p>Priority will be given to experimental studies that provide novel insights into any of these areas. Articles covering bioinformatics and other topics that clarify or provide tools for functional anatomical understanding as well as multi-disciplinary studies crossing more than one of these areas are also welcomed.</p> <p>The Editors will also consider publishing Letters (1-2 pages) on scientific issues of clear relevance to the scope of interest of the Journal. There are no page charges, and charges are not made for colour, if, in the Editors' opinion it is essential. In all other cases costs must be borne by the author.</p> <p> </p> <h4>Keywords</h4> <p>Journal of Anatomy, anatomy, evolution, function, development, developmental biology, anatomical approaches, bioinformatics, molecular biology, cell biology</p> <p> </p> en-US Journal of Anatomy 2796-0145 http://medicalresearch.be/index.php/ja/article/view/11 <p>Dorsal fin muscles vary inorientation; many have origins on the capsule above the skull and run near-horizontally and some bipennatemuscles have origins on both capsule and septum. Such bipennate muscle arrangements have not beendescribed previously in fishes. Fin muscles have hinged tendons that pass through capsular channels and radialcartilages to insertions on fin rays. The capsule is gelatinous (89.8% water) with a collagen and elastinmeshwork. Greasy in texture, calculations indicate capsular buoyancy is partly provided by lipid. Capsule,septum and tendons provide elastic structures likely to enhance muscle action and support fast cruising. The skin in thedifferent newborn marsupials and the monotreme hatchling had a similar structure (no hair follicles and nosebaceous or perspiratory glands) and was in all cases less developed than the skin of altricial eutherians. Thethickness of the entire skin (36–186lm) and its different layers, epidermis (6–29lm) and dermis (29–171lm) varied among the marsupial species and reflected the differences in size and developmental degree of theneonates. In the skin of all marsupial neonates and the monotreme hatchling, numerous superficial cutaneouscapillaries were encountered, some closely associated with the epidermis, indicating the possibility that the skinparticipated in gaseous exchange.</p> Ferner Karl D.* Cotter Ross Copyright (c) 2022 2022-01-28 2022-01-28 1 01 http://medicalresearch.be/index.php/ja/article/view/12 <p>The well-developed female PB, instead,intertwined with the deep perineal muscle and both structures passed the vagina bilaterally to form theperineal membrane in the posterior portion of the urogenital triangle. The urethral rhabdosphincter extendedin the anterior portion of the urogenital triangle between the penile bulb inferiorly and the bladder necksuperiorly, and consisted of a well-developed circular ‘membranous’ portion with bilateral posteroinferior‘wings’ and a thinner ‘prostatic’ portion on the prostate anterior side. In men, muscles occupy the urogenitaltriangle, but additional tightening of the locally fibrous adipose tissue by the superficial transverse perinealmuscle appears necessary to generate functional support in women.
