What's the difference between calciferous and calcite?
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).
Calcite
Definition:
(n.) Calcium carbonate, or carbonate of lime. It is rhombohedral in its crystallization, and thus distinguished from aragonite. It includes common limestone, chalk, and marble. Called also calc-spar and calcareous spar.
Example Sentences:
(1) The crystallographic orientation of the calcite also appears to be independent of these fibrils.
(2) The calcium carbonates-calcite, aragonite, and vaterite-constitute most of the remainder of the calculi.
(3) Crystallographic analysis of stones from patients with nutritional pancreatitis (NP), as well as alcoholic pancreatitis (AP), revealed that the main constituent was calcite (CaCO3).
(4) Calcite was present in all stones, vaterite in 12%, and a central amorphous material in 30%.
(5) X-ray diffraction showed that calcite (CaCO3) was the major crystalline constituent of the calcareous deposits.
(6) When the doped glasses have been immersed in a physiological solution (199 medium), a film of calcite forms on the glass surface and this modification is related to the type of doping agent used, decisive for close linking between metal supports and the glass.
(7) We suggest that precipitation of calcite in the pancreatic duct occurs as the primary event in the formation of pancreatic calculi and that it may continue until the duct is completely occluded.
(8) 5-7): calcite and quartz are the principal components of the sinters, additional diffuse apatite lines appear in bone samples.
(9) These features are characteristic of sea urchin (Echinoderm) spines which are composed of ornately formed calcite crystals covered by an epithelium.
(10) Its absence in all analyzed invertebrate tissues (including calcitic, aragonitic, and apatitic mineral phases) indicates that matrix protein-bound gamma-carboxyglutamic acid is not obligatory for the calcification process in the invertebrates.
(11) Quantitatively, phosphate is by far the most important inhibitor of calcite precipitation present in saliva, suggesting that inhibition of calcite precipitation by the macromolecules may be of secondary significance.
(12) Plates of calcite (CaCO3) were implanted in rabbit tibiae, and their biocompatibility and bonding ability to bone were studied.
(13) Subsequent increase in diameter of the rod involves the radial development of irregular columns of calcite which arise from the peripheral nodules.
(14) The phenomenon of dissolution and recrystallisation in situ of the calcite can be a trap because it can be a reservoir for micro-organisms.
(15) Synechococcus strain GL24 was isolated from Fayetteville Green Lake, New York, where it has a demonstrated role in the formation of calcitic minerals.
(16) Pancreatic stones are observed in both humans and cattle, and are approximately 95% CaCO3 (calcite) in both species.
(17) Skeletal walls of more than one mineralogy have the magnesium-rich layer (calcite) surrounding the living chamber and the strontium-rich layer (aragonite) on the outside.
(18) Here we report on the ability of a soil bacterium to synthesize calcite in a calcium-stressed environment.
(19) Formation of inner protein nidus in the form of a cobweb is the first stage, then calcite is deposited on this fibrous network as tiny crystals.
(20) The biocompatibility of mammal bone with aragonite and calcite skeletons of aquatic invertebrates (Corals, Molluscs) led us, after animal experimentation, to implant in humans artificial dental roots derived from such invertebrates.
