What's the difference between axolotl and siredon?
Axolotl
Definition:
(n.) An amphibian of the salamander tribe found in the elevated lakes of Mexico; the siredon.
Example Sentences:
(1) A study of cell proliferation in different regions of axolotl embryos has shown a rather uniform distribution of the S phase and mitotic indices in the animal half of the early and midgastrulae.
(2) The posterior supracoracoideus nerve of the axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum, was induced to make synapses outside its normal muscle territory.
(3) The innervation of the biceps muscle was examined in regenerated and vitamin A-induced serially duplicated axolotl forelimbs using retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase.
(4) The axolotl stomach myenteric plexus appeared to be devoid of enkephalin-, neuropeptide Y-, somatostatin- and bombesin-like immunoreactive nerve fibres and nerve cell bodies.
(5) The rate of AChE activity restoration in Gd-7 treated axolotl embryo depends on the level of the enzyme restraint and the stage of the embryo development.
(6) The binding of four of these compounds to chick limb bud and axolotl CRABP was tested in sucrose density gradient assays and then their potencies at inducing limb duplications tested.
(7) The pattern of labeling was the same in the albino as in the normally pigmented axolotls.
(8) Cobaltic-lysine complex was used to label the afferent and efferent components of the glossopharyngeal nerve in the ganglion and brainstem of the Mexican salamander, axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum).
(9) That substance P may be a neurotrophic factor in urodele limb regeneration was investigated in the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum).
(10) Using electrophysiological methods, ipsilateral visuotectal activity has been recorded in thyroxine-treated, postmetamorphic axolotls but not in larval axolotls.
(11) Based upon the use of specific antibodies and sucrose gradient sedimentation analysis, the present work describes the use of the post-transcriptional equipment of the urodele egg to compare the information contained in two RNA samples extracted from respectively liver and activated axolotl eggs.
(12) These observations suggest a possible utility of the eyeless mutant axolotl for studies concerned with endocrine development in the absence of hypothalamic modulation.
(13) All monoamine-containing neuronal groups detected in developing axolotls are also present in both sexes of the adult.
(14) The mean resting membrane potential of cells in the neural plate of axolotl embryos increases from -25 to -45 mV (maximum values from -35 to -60 mV) when the embryos move from early to mid-neural plate stages of development.
(15) The effect of growth factors on the formation of cardiac mesoderm in the urodele, Ambystoma mexicanum (axolotl), has been examined using an in vitro explant system.
(16) To determine if differences in endogenous lectins exist in dark and white axolotls during melanophore colonization, white and dark ectoderm and carcass tissues have been assayed for lectin activity at premigratory, early migratory, and late migratory neural crest stages.
(17) In this paper we describe subpopulations of radial glial in the spinal cord of the axolotl.
(18) Thus, conventional retrograde labeling could not identify particular axolotl motoneurons.
(19) In the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), the large vestibular axons form club endings on only one portion of one dendrite of the Mauthner cell.
(20) Recessive mutant gene c in axolotl embryos results in an absence of heart function.
Siredon
Definition:
(n.) The larval form of any salamander while it still has external gills; especially, one of those which, like the axolotl (Amblystoma Mexicanum), sometimes lay eggs while in this larval state, but which under more favorable conditions lose their gills and become normal salamanders. See also Axolotl.
Example Sentences:
(1) Mauthner neurons of terrestrial forms (Ambystoma tigrinum, Paramesotriton chinensis) exhibit a less-extensive branching of the "lateral line" dendrite but otherwise show no signs of involution or regression compared to aquatic forms (Siredon mexicanum, Cynops pyrrhogaster).
