Goyocephale was a dinosaur of the Cretaceous period. Goyocephale was about 2 metres long, walked on its hind legs and had four or five broad spines low down at the back of its head which also had thickened bones at the top of the skull, which together with the broad hip bones suggest that Goyocephale may have regularly head butted other animals.

The hip or hep is the fruit of the rose, particularly the wild rose. Hips are more popularly referred to as rose-hips, but strictly this is a tautology. Research Hip
Homalocephale was a dinosaur of the Cretaceous period. It was about three metres long, walked on its hind legs standing about 130 cm tall and had a flat head with a thickened roof to the skull covered with pits and bony knobs. Broad hip bones, loosely attached to the vertebrae suggest that Homalocephale may have given birth to live young, rather than to eggs. Research Homalocephale
Rose-hip is the fruit of the rose. The term is especially aplied to the fruit of the wild rose. The berries are dark red in colour, with a tough leathery skin and contain a number of small, hairy seeds long popular among small boys as 'itching powder'. Research Rose-Hip
Secernosaurus was a dinosaur of the Cretaceous period. Secernosaurus was a duck-billed dinosaur, about three metres long, with a flat, crestless head. The remains of Secernosaurus, which consisted of some hip parts, a shoulder blade, a lower leg bone, some tail bones and the back of the skull, were discovered in 1923 in Argentina but not identified until 1979.

Segnosauria is an infraorder of lightly built, carnivorous dinosaurs. The infraorder was formed in 1980 to distinguish specimens of dinosaur which did not have the same hipbone arrangement as other members of the order Saurischia. Research Segnosauria

The biceps femoris (biceps flexor cruris) muscle is included with the hamstring muscle group. The biceps femoris is a large muscle comprised of two heads (two points of attachment to the bone), the long head (caput longum) and the short head (caput breve). The long head originates from the tuberosity of the ischium near the semitendinosus muscle and the short head originates from the linea aspera between the adductor magnus and the vastus lateralis muscles. The two muscles converge to a single tendon and insert in the fibula. This common tendon is located on the outer back corner of the knee and forms the outer hamstring. The long head of the biceps femoris is innervated by the tibial nerve and the short head is innervated by the peroneal nerves. This muscle is supplied by a deep branch of the femoral artery, the profunda femoris. Both heads of the muscle flex the lower leg at the knee joint and rotate the tibia outward. The long head also assists with the extension and outward rotation of the thigh at the hip joint, making it a two-joint muscle, while the short head is a single-joint muscle. Research Biceps Femoris
