What's the difference between alveolate and suctorian?
Alveolate
Definition:
(a.) Deeply pitted, like a honeycomb.
Example Sentences:
(1) Since the classical extraction was not possible because of the rooth mass and the alveol wideness, we did the alveotomia.
(2) A marked peripheral predominance of the interstitial densities was seen in all seven cases of fibrosing alveolitis and in the patient with rheumatoid lung, in marked contrast with the two cases of hypersensitivity pneumonitis in whom a central distribution of the changes was seen.
(3) Lymphocytic alveolitis must be added to the expanding clinical spectrum of acute HIV-1 infection.
(4) A case of atypical extrinsic allergic alveolitis in a 13-year-old is reported.

(6) This cross-sectional study was undertaken after the discovery of cobalt-related fibrosing alveolitis and bronchial asthma in diamond polishers occupationally exposed to cobalt.
(7) The CT appearance of lymphangioleiomyomatosis differs quite distinctly from that of other diseases that can cause cystic air spaces, such as fibrosing alveolitis, neurofibromatosis, and bronchiectasis, and less distinctly from pulmonary emphysema and eosinophilic granuloma.
(8) A specific pattern in which fibrosis was distributed posteriorly in the lower zones, laterally in the middle zones, and anteriorly in the upper zones was seen in 11 patients with cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis and in four with asbestosis.
(9) Three cases of allergic alveolitis due to indoor humdification systems are described.
(10) The significance of the persisting alveolitis, despite treatment, is not known at present.
(11) Histologically the most conspicuous were the findings of the hyaline alveolar membrane and the cellular atypia of endothel of the alveoles and the lymph-ducts.
(12) Supernatant radioactivity correlated with the presence of neutrophil alveolitis, but not with BAL transferrin concentrations.
(13) It is over 25 years since Scadding first defined the term fibrosing alveolitis.
(14) Wood-trimmers' disease, generally called extrinsic allergic alveolitis, which affects workers in sawmills, is thought to be caused by fungal diaspores.
(15) Two cases of methotrexate-induced fibrosing alveolitis are reported.
(16) However, although the immune and inflammatory cells situated in the lung modulate the lesions in the respiratory tree, it may be reasonable to propose the hypothesis that the evaluation of the clinical state of patients with sarcoidosis might take into account the degree of the alveolitis.
(17) However, the amount of IL-2 produced by lung T-cells (BALT IL-2) showed a significant negative correlation with the intensity of alveolitis.
(18) These results indicate that daily oral prednisolone therapy may suppress the alveolitis in certain patients with chronic silicosis and bring about a significant improvement in lung functions and gas exchange.
(19) Although occasional pathologic descriptions of open-lung biopsies have recognized the presence of inflammatory cells, suggesting a similarity to "lone" cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis, the two conditions have never been formally compared.
(20) A subclinical inflammatory alveolitis as assessed by BAL cell analysis may be present in a high proportion of symptomless patients with immunological systemic disorders and with normal chest roentgenogram.
Suctorian
Definition:
(n.) A cartilaginous fish with a mouth adapted for suction, as the lampery.
(n.) One of the Suctoria.
Example Sentences:
(1) A field of depressions or small pits was observed in the pellicle of adult suctorians in the early stages of bud formation.
(2) are very similar in structure to the swarmer (embryo) of the suctorian ciliates.
(3) The tentacles are very small (about 430 mmicro in length, and about the same in diameter), but show the essential features of tentacles of suctorians such as Tokophrya, Podophrya, and Ephelota.
(4) The morphology, infraciliature, and life cycle of Endosphaera terebrans, a suctorian endocommensal of peritrichs, have been studied with the aid of silver impregnation.
(5) Indeed, reduction in the number of cilia to two in the suctorian swarmer and elimination of the macronucleus would result in a cell that is very similar to the Katablepharis cell.
(6) Although it appears that Phalacrocleptes is a suctorian, the complete absence of kinetosomes sets this organism apart from other members of the group.
(7) At the ultrastructural level length changes accompanying linear movements of resting (non-feeding) tentacles of the suctorian Heliophrya involve not only altered microtubule numbers, but also marked changes in the specific microtubule pattern of cross-sectioned tentacles.
(8) Similarly, the anaphase breakdown and reconstitution of the nuclear envelope, which occurs in the primitive Loxodes magnus, can be followed up some phyletic branches, such as the heterotrichs, but in the suctorians and some other groups this feature seems to have been lost.
(9) Budding and metamorphosis in the suctorian ciliate, Discophrya collini, have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy.
(10) Intracellular genera are found in all the major groups of Protista, but are particularly common among the dinoflagellates, trypanosomatid zooflagellates and suctorian ciliates; the Sporozoa are nearly all intracellular at some stage of their life, and the Microspora entirely so.
(11) Tokophrya infusionum, a suctorian, is deprived of a mouth opening.
