What's the difference between amphibia and pneumogastric?
Amphibia
Definition:
(n. pl.) One of the classes of vertebrates.
(pl. ) of Amphibium
Example Sentences:
(1) Odontophyrynus americanus (Amphibia, Anura) genomic DNA from diploid and tetraploid specimens was treated with restriction enzymes sensitive to cytosine and adenine methylation (5 meC and 6 meA).
(2) Absence of a functioning velocity storage network in bottom-dwelling teleosts (as in Amphibia) may be related to the sporadic, slow locomotion of these species and the resulting small requirements for continuous gaze stabilization during self-motion at higher velocities.
(3) But in the amphibia astrocytes as satellites occur much more often than oligodendrocytes.
(4) Remarkably comparable observations from parallel experiments in salamanders and mice utilizing three related model systems (implant-induced immunomanipulation; passive transfer; and putative B cell suppression) argue directly that functional humoral transplantation immunity is highly developed at the phylogenetic level of Amphibia and that it plays a major role in regulating graft survival in these species (Fig.
(5) Analysis of control diploid and polyploid amphibia indicated that cell and nuclear volumes were closely related to their ploidy, so that an increase in ploidy was generally associated with an increase in cell size.
(6) In amphibia (frogs) and mammals (rats, guinea pigs, cats), unilateral electrical stimulation of olfactory lobes or section of olfactory tracts resulted in considerable functional changes in respiratory and cardiovascular systems, the olfactory influences being functionally asymmetric.
(7) The Harderian gland has an acinar structure and is the only orbital gland in anuran amphibia.
(8) The relationship observed in the comparison well coincided with the classification of the upper taxa of amphibia; viz 1) Hyla arborea is more intimately related to B. bufa, 2) members of Ranidae and Rhacophoridae have equal intimacy for B. bufo, and 3) Cynops pyrrhogaster is most distantly related to B. bufo.
(9) Since CaCl2 is one of the taste stimuli in amphibia, the firing of action potentials by chemoreceptor cells may be part of the signal chain in gustatory reception of Ca ions.
(10) An RNA polymerase I termination site is found just upstream of the ribosomal gene promoter in mammals and amphibia.
(11) Studies were conducted to explore vitamin A transport in the non-mammalian vertebrates, especially Pisces, Amphibia, and Reptilia, and to isolate and partially characterize piscine retinol-binding protein.
(12) For instance, in amphibia the accomodation to the terranian medium is accompanied by establishment of the vertical histochemical gradient in the epidermis which is manifested by accumulation of a protein rich in cationic and sulfhydril groups in the protective zone.
(13) Fixed metaphase chromosomes of several species of Amphibia were treated with various restriction endonucleases and subsequently stained with Giemsa.
(14) Except for pure scientific reasons, a positive answer could have a practical importance both in regulation of work of persons engaged in fire combat on the ground during extinguishing of fire by the amphibia as well as for physician's work with those exposed to water impact from the plane and who could be eventually injured.
(15) These rods differ in shape from the major rod type; they are thinner, shorter, and may be comparable to the blue-sensitive ("green") rods of other amphibia.
(16) about 135 nucleotides further upstream than the corresponding sites in amphibia and mammals.
(17) Since the first observations of MAGEE and BARNES in 1956 on the carcinogenicity of NDMA, this compound was reported to be carcinogenic in a large number of animal species including mammals, birds, amphibia and fish.
(18) Ectoplasmic specializations (ES) facing spermatids were studied in species representative of four classes of non-mammalian vertebrates (Pisces--bluegill; Amphibia--bullfrog; Reptilia--red eared turtle; Aves--domestic chicken).
(19) We therefore propose that: liver pigment cells of Amphibia and Reptilia should be classified as "Extra Cutaneous Pigment Cells from Histocytic Origin".
(20) No liver serine dehydratase was measurable in amphibia.
Pneumogastric
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the lungs and the stomach.
(n.) The pneumogastric nerve.
Example Sentences:
(1) Neuropathologic examination showed neuronal loss in substantia nigra and left locus ceruleus, dorsal nucleus of the pneumogastric nerve and Meynert's basal nuclei on both sides.
