Both veins and stems show fine longitudinal striae, probably representing the lignified vascular fibres.
A physical examination was performed assessing physical markers of collagen weakness including the presence of striae, hernia, joint mobility and varicose veins.
Physical markers of collagen abnormalities include development of hernia, striae, varicose veins, haemorrhoids and joint hypermobility.
Individual blocks are separated by thin, slickensided surfaces with fibrous striae, which make these fault zones suitable for brittle strain analysis.
Lesions begin on the lower abdomen within striae but sparing the umbilicus.
In seven of these cases the lesions began within abdominal striae and often develop koebnerisation within excoriations.
The striae most likely consist of linear trabeculae that support the crest internally.
Again, this chapter jumps around, from the formation of glacial striae, to beach ridges, to climate change.
