Appendage


Definition:

  • (n.) Something appended to, or accompanying, a principal or greater thing, though not necessary to it, as a portico to a house.
  • (n.) A subordinate or subsidiary part or organ; an external organ or limb, esp. of the articulates.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The astrocytes had generally two types of processes: (1) thread-like processes of relatively constant width with few ramifications and few lamellar appendages and (2) the sinuous processes with clusters of lamellar appendages.

  • (4) Thus careful examination of standard ECG leads for paced P waves of low amplitude, prolonged duration and specific morphology can help in confirming atrial capture following pacing stimulus from right atrial appendage.
  • (5) The results indicate that position along the appendage does not influence the developmental sequence of events of regeneration, but that it does influence the rate of growth and the structures to be replaced.

  • (7) In this last region, we can find a more or less reduced true tail or a terminal appendage without vertebral element.
  • (8) Before therapy considerable destructive changes in nerve fibers were seen, i. e. Schwann cell cytoplasm and nerve cell appendages edemas, no neural tubes in the appendages.

Maxilliped


Definition:

  • (n.) One of the mouth appendages of Crustacea, situated next behind the maxillae. Crabs have three pairs, but many of the lower Crustacea have but one pair of them. Called also jawfoot, and foot jaw.

Example Sentences:
