inosculation

Inosculation is most common among the following species of tree due to their thin bark.

Inosculation is a natural phenomenon in which trunks, branches or roots of two trees grow together.

He was inspired by observing a natural sycamore inosculation in his hedgerow.

New blood vessels begin growing from the recipient area into the transplanted skin within 36 hours in a process called capillary inosculation.

Tree branches and more often roots of the same species will sometimes naturally graft; this is called inosculation.

Inosculation also sometimes occurs where two stems on the same tree, shrub or vine make contact with each other.

But where shall we find the first atom in this house of man, which is all consent, inosculation, and balance of parts?

Grafting exploits the natural biological process of inosculation.

Branches in close contact may grow together, due to a natural phenomenon called inosculation, a natural graft.

This vascular joining is called inosculation.

Inosculation customarily results when tree limbs are braided or pleached.

It is most common for branches of two trees of the same species to grow together, though inosculation may be noted across related species.

Two trees may grow to their mature size adjacent to each other and seemingly grow together or conjoin, demonstrating the process of inosculation.

Most artists use grafting to deliberately induce the inosculation of living trunks, branches, and roots, into artistic designs or functional structures.

The interconnections are made by the inosculation process, a kind of natural grafting or welding of vegetal tissues.

Pleaching consists of first plashing living branches and twigs and then weaving them together to promote their inosculation.

The term "inosculation" is also used in the context of plastic surgery, as one of the three mechanisms by which skin grafts take at the host site.

Inosculation occurs in blackthorn (Prunus spinosa).

Ladd calls human-initiated inosculation 'pleaching' and calls his own work 'tree sculpture'.

He became inspired by inosculation he noticed in nature and by the growth of tree trunks around man-made objects such as fences and idle farm equipment.

There, inspired by having observed a natural inosculation in his own hedgerow, he began in 1925 to shape trees as a hobby to amuse himself and his family.

Some species of trees exhibit a botanical phenomenon known as inosculation (or self-grafting); whether among parts of a single tree or between two or more individual specimens of the same (or very similar) species.

Skin grafts (split thickness and full thickness) receive oxygenation and nutrition via imbibition, maintaining cellular viability until the processes of inosculation and revascularisation have re-established a new blood supply within these tissues.

He was thinking of life as arising only once and discarding the independent lineages progressing to higher forms as proposed by Lamarck and Grant as well as rejecting Lamarck's gradual progression in favour of what Darwin called "inosculation", a clear distinction between even the most closely related species.
