A beam or rafter that will bend under a load.
The transverse colon is the part of the large intestine that is located between the hepatic flexure (right colic flexure) and the splenic flexure (left colic flexure). It runs horizontally across the abdomen from right to left below the stomach and liver.
The large intestine has curves called the hepatic flexure (at the junction of the ascending and transverse colon) and the splenic flexure (at the junction of the transverse and descending colon).
The hepatic flexure lies in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen.
It would be near the descending colon in the left upper quadrant of humans.
The sigmoid flexure is an "S"-shaped curvature to the penis that is present in animals with fibrous penises (bovines, goat, sheep, etc.). Animals that do not have a sigmoid flexure of the penis include horses and dogs.
The splenic flexure is a sharp bend in the colon located near the spleen. It is where the transverse colon joins the descending colon. This flexure can sometimes be a site of pain or discomfort in conditions like constipation or diverticulitis.
Lens flexure refers to the bending or deformation of a lens due to external forces or pressure applied to it. This can impact the performance of the lens, leading to changes in focus or image quality. Proper handling and care are essential to prevent lens flexure.
The splenic flexure lies in the upper left quadrant between the transverse and descending colon.
The deeper part of the dermis is responsible for markings on our skin surface called Flexure lines. These lines are easily observed as the deep skin creases on the palms. Flexure lines result from a continual folding of the skin, often over joints, where the dermis attaches tightly to underlying structures. Flexure lines are also visible on the wrists, soles of the feet, fingers, and toes.
Yes.Modulus of RuptureUltimate strength determined in a flexure or torsion test. In a flexure test, modulus of rupture in bending is the maximum fiber stress at failure. In a torsion test, modulus of rupture in torsion is the maximum shear stress in the extreme fiber of a circular member at failure. Alternate terms are flexural strength and torsional strength.
