Dictionary » A » Ala minor Ala minorAla minor ossis sphenoidalis --> lesser wing of sphenoid bone One of a bilateral pair of triangular, pointed plates extending laterally from the anterolateral body of the sphenoid bone. Forming the posteriormost portion of the floor of the anterior cranial fossa, their sharp posterior edge forms the sphenoidal ridge separating anterior and middle cranial fossae. The medial end of the lesser wing attaches to the body by means of two pedicles, thus forming the optic canal. The wing itself forms the superior margin of the supraorbital fissure. Synonym: ala minor ossis sphenoidalis, ala orbitalis, ingrassias apophysis, ingrassias wing. ![]()

Back to school for B.S. in Biology?... offer a BA in chem with biochemistry emphasis, which overlaps even more. I'll look into the possibility of doing the double major, or at least a minor in chem. It could also work out well schedule wise: I'll need to get some more work and if I get another 9-5 job the chemistry dept offers many ...

Re: Natural selection is proven wrong... err my friend in this. Actually the biological sciences in general are heavily founded upon chemistry; this is why I have no choice but to take a minor in chemistry if I want to earn a BS in biology! So I don't think I've erred in anything. As long as living organisms continue to be composed of ...

Natural selection is proven wrong... occurred right around the same time as the development of Hox genes that control the development of an embryo. Experiments have shown that even minor modifications in these control genes can produce significant alterations in the body-plan of the animal. For example, flies have been made to ...
