What's the difference between calciferous and calcigerous?
Calciferous
Definition:
(a.) Bearing, producing, or containing calcite, or carbonate of lime.
Example Sentences:
(1) The larvae were subsequently found localized in the calciferous glands.
(2) In the face of tumours of the lateral part of the gland, easily to access from the clinical diagnostic point of view, the computer-tomogram can improve pretherapeutically the differential diagnosis to a great extent by additional morphological-quantitative information about the macroscopic possibility to palpate the borders of a tumour, depth of expansion, and tissue structure, the mixed tumour, in particular, seems to have an absorption pattern relatively appropriate to computer-tomography as a result of its different tissue formation, calciferous histopathologic in part, often sealed off macroscopicly.
(3) Chemical analysis of the calciferous glands revealed a high concentration of Ca, small amounts of Mg and phosphate, but no Zn.
(4) These were found invading the calciferous glands of the annelid as early as 48 hours post-infection.
(5) Overdoses of vitamin D may effect calciferous infiltrations in the soft tissue and arteriosclerotic changes.
(6) hearts, dorsal vessel, anterior part of crop and part of the oesophagus anterior to the calciferous glands of the annelid.
(7) In the earthworm intermediate host there were rare granulomas outside the normal site occupied by larvae (blood sinuses of calciferous glands).
(8) Storage of Ca in the chloragocytes and excretion of CaCO3 by the calciferous gland may be physiologically linked.
(9) It is concluded that Zn is not excreted through the calciferous gland.
(10) Acute-phase roentgenograms show substantial soft-tissue swelling anterior to the vertebral bodies, C1 to C4, often accompanied by amorphous calciferous deposition below the anterior tubercle of the atlas.
(11) The case observed displays a well-developed annular capsule structure with massive deposits of calciferous substance as a prominent computer-tomographic feature (histological: fibrohyaline capsule).
Calcigerous
Definition:
(a.) Holding lime or other earthy salts; as, the calcigerous cells of the teeth.
Example Sentences:
(1) Conventional and scanning electron microscopy of calcigerous renal calculi discloses typical concentric laminations, radial striations and microspherules.
(2) Early detection of a pathological skeletal process and control of fracture healing are sometimes difficult when conventional x-ray methods are employed, since stability of bones depends not only on calcigerous tissue but also on the organic matrix.
