  2. Orders of magnitude (mass) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(mass)

    The gram (10 −3 kg) is an SI derived unit of mass. However, the names of all SI mass units are based on gram, rather than on kilogram; thus 10 3 kg is a megagram (10 6 g), not a *kilokilogram. The tonne (t) is an SI-compatible unit of mass equal to a megagram (Mg), or 10 3 kg.

  3. Gluteus maximus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluteus_maximus

    Specifically, it is approximately 1.6 times larger relative to body mass compared to chimpanzees and comprises about 18.3% of total hip musculature mass versus 11.7% in chimpanzees. [11] Its large size is one of the most characteristic features of the muscular system in humans, [ 2 ] connected as it is with the power of maintaining the trunk in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psoas_sign

    The psoas sign, also known as Cope's sign (or Cope's psoas test [1]) or Obraztsova's sign, [2] is a medical sign that indicates irritation to the iliopsoas group of hip flexors in the abdomen, and consequently indicates that the inflamed appendix is retrocaecal in orientation (as the iliopsoas muscle is retroperitoneal).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saphenous_opening

    Just inferolateral to the pubic tubercle the fascia extends downwards forming an arched (falciform) margin of the lateral boundary of the opening. It is covered by a thin perforated part of the superficial fascia called the fascia cribrosa which is pierced by the great saphenous vein, the 3 superficial branches of the femoral artery (except superficial circumflex iliac artery, which pierces ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighing_scale

    Two 10-decagram masses Masses of 50, 20, 1, 2, 5 and 10 grams. Unlike spring-based scales, balances are used for the precision measurement of mass as their accuracy is not affected by variations in the local gravitational field. (On Earth, for example, these can amount to ±0.5% between locations. [12])

  7. Meralgia paraesthetica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meralgia_paraesthetica

    Meralgia paresthetica or meralgia paraesthetica is pain or abnormal sensations in the outer thigh not caused by injury to the thigh, but by injury to a nerve which provides sensation to the lateral thigh. Meralgia paresthetica is a specific instance of nerve entrapment. [5] The nerve involved is the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN).

    Previously, the authors had shown that the use of levothyroxine in people with higher thyroid hormone levels had a negative effect on leg mass in older adults, in a study whose results appeared in ...

  9. Triple beam balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_beam_balance

    Typically, the reading scale of the middle beam reads in 100 gram increments, the far beam in 10 gram increments, and the front beam can read from 0 to 10 grams. [2] The triple beam balance can be used to measure mass directly from the objects, find mass by difference for liquid , and measure out substances.
