Eggs were checked for pipping, and chick wing lengths were measured from the carpus to the tip of the longest primary.
In crustaceans, carpus is the scientific term for the claws or pincers present on some legs.
The muscle is a minor extensor of the carpus in carnivores, but has become a flexor in ungulates.
Carpus is the anatomical assembly connecting the hand to forearm.
The radius and ulna of the front legs are articulated by the carpus, which, while structurally equivalent to the human wrist, functions as a knee.
The swimming keel of the club extends considerably near to the carpus.
They are characterised by the subdivided carpus of the second pereiopod and, mainly, by the lack of the chelae (claws) on the first pereiopod.
It acts to extend and adduct at the carpus/wrist.
