For example, the muscle Flexor pollicus longis refers to the muscle that causes flexion of the thumb, and has a long tendon.Try putting the term together with other anatomical terms and see if they make any sense! :).onfidence votes 148.

USS Texas (BB-35) For other ships with the same name, see USS Texas. USS Texas (BB-35), the second ship of the United States Navy named in honor of the US state of Texas, is a New York-class battleship. The ship was launched on 18 May 1912 and commissioned on 12 March 1914.
Sadly the USS Texas would lose handily. A WWI battleship vs a WWII battleship, not only way newer but faster and much more heavily armed and armored. The Texas was built in 1911 to a size that later naval rules (1922 Washington Treaty) capped to limit the arms race.
