(In Rosa) the ‘false fruit’ developed from the swollen hypanthium.
A vase-like leathery hypanthium containing several achenes; restricted to the rose.
A fleshy, berrylike fruit (as in some members of the Rose Family).
A false fruit developed from the hypanthium (floral) in Rosa (Rosaceae).
The lateral prominence of the pelvis from the waist to the thigh.
A ball and socket joint where the thigh bone or femur joins the acetabulum of the hip bone.
The ball-and-socket joint between the pelvis and the thigh bone (femur), abnormally formed in newborns who have congenital dislocation of the hip.
Area of the body formed by the lower part of the torso (pelvis) and the upper part of the thigh.
The joint that connects the bone of the upper leg to the pelvis and largely supports the weight of the upper body. The hip is a stable ball-and- socket joint. The round end of the upper thighbone (femur) fits into a rounded hollow in the pelvis called the acetabulum. The acetabulum is a deep cavity enclosing about two thirds of the head of the femur.
The region of the body where the thigh bone (femur) articulates with the pelvis: the region on each side of the pelvis.
That part of the body on each side of the pelvis which articulates with the head of the femur (thigh bone).
The region lateral to the ilium of the pelvic bone.
This describes the plump, juicy, crimson seed pod of various rose species, particularly the wild rose. This pod is high in Vitamin C and is utilized in creating a type of jelly.
The hip joint is the connection between the pelvis and the top part of the femur, also known as the thigh bone. It’s a ball-and-socket type of joint where the round, smooth head of the femur fits snugly into a cup-shaped cavity in the pelvis, called the acetabulum. Strong ligaments link the femur and the pelvis, providing additional stability to the joint and enabling it to bear the body’s weight and withstand leg movements. The hip’s structure facilitates a significant degree of leg motion.
Hip joint injuries, like dislocations, typically result from intense force, such as that experienced in a vehicular accident. There could also be fractures in the hip joint, caused by breaks in the head or neck of the femur. These kinds of injuries are more prevalent in older individuals, as their bones may have been weakened by a condition known as osteoporosis.
Osteoarthritis, a condition characterized by the degeneration of bone ends within a joint, frequently affects the hip. This disorder can lead to symptoms such as pain and stiffness, especially during physical activity, swelling, and limited range of motion in the joint.
Specific types of hip disorders can manifest in babies and children. Developmental hip dysplasia is a condition that’s present from birth, where the hip socket is improperly formed, causing the head of the femur to fit incorrectly within it. Perthes’ disease, a less common condition that affects young children, leads to the breakdown of the femur’s head, causing symptoms like limping, hip pain, and limited joint mobility.
