Structure and Function of Platyrrhine Caudal Vertebrae


Structure and Function of Platyrrhine Caudal Vertebrae is a scholarly work by Jason M. Organ, published in 2010 in ''The Anatomical Record''. The main subjects of the publication include morphometrics, lateralization of brain function, anatomy, biology, torsion, Primate Sociality, and prehensile tail. The study examines structural properties of the tail with external measurements that are selected to better approximate resistance to bending/torsion while also examining vertebral cross‐sectional geometry with computed tomography—a direct measure of resistance to bending/torsion.
