What's the difference between bryozoa and hippocrepian?
Bryozoa
Definition:
(n. pl.) A class of Molluscoidea, including minute animals which by budding form compound colonies; -- called also Polyzoa.
Example Sentences:
(1) Among the various species of Bryozoa Gymnolaemata, the larvae and their development were studied, comparing the larval structure and the evolution of their cellular categories during the post-larval morphogenesis the existence of nine well-defined larval types could be revealed.
(2) The appearance of acute eczematous dermatitis in fishermen from the estuary of the Seine, about which the responsibility of Alcyonidium gelatinosum (L.) is still under discussion, led us to estimate the ability of this Bryozoa to induce cutaneous responses of delayed hypersensitivity.
(3) The relative content of 16:0, 17:0 and 18:0 fatty aldehydes in the lipids of eight species of the far-eastern Bryozoa was studied.
(4) The present systematic of Bryozoa Gymnolaemata is compared with the classification of various larval types.
(5) The summer outbreaks, from May to September, and the fact that the face and upper chest are involved are classically ascribed to the natural cycle of Bryozoa (colonies multiply in the warm season and regress in the winter) and to contact with uncovered parts of the body.
(6) Bryozoa responsible for the disease are Alcyonidum hirsutum and, mostly, Alcyonidum gelatinosum.
(7) Contact eczema to Bryozoa is a very invalidating fishermen's disease.
(8) The case of occupational eczema presented here discloses two hitherto unrecognized allergens: another Bryozoa species, Electra pilosa, which proliferates in the early summer and forms encrusting colonies on various supports, and a sea-weed, Sargassum muticum, which up to now had not been held responsible for skin lesions.
(9) Bryostatins are biosynthetic products of bryozoa phyllum of marine animals.
(10) Described in the North Sea ("Dogger Bank itch") and in the eastern Channel, it begins with the hands which have touched Bryozoa, these being microscopic "moss-like animals", unrelated to algae, which form coralliform, encrusting and filamentous colonies attached to the sea-floor.
(11) They are didemnin B from marine tunicate, bryostatin 1 from marine bryozoa, and dolastatin 10 from sea hare.
(12) We suggest the unusually high relative heptadecanoic aldehyde content in the lipids of Bryozoa may be helpful in settling some problems concerning their system.
Hippocrepian
Definition:
(n.) One of an order of fresh-water Bryozoa, in which the tentacles are on a lophophore, shaped like a horseshoe. See Phylactolaema.
