What's the difference between catarrhine and human?

Catarrhine


Definition:

  • (n.) One of the Catarrhina, a division of Quadrumana, including the Old World monkeys and apes which have the nostrils close together and turned downward. See Monkey.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The functional and phyletic significance of this material reveals a complex pattern of behavioral and phyletic diversity among large-bodied catarrhines in Europe and suggests that this diversity evolved in situ from circum-Mediterranean middle Miocene ancestors.
  • (2) The inactivation of the alpha 1,3GT gene in ancestral catarrhines was probably the result of an intensive evolutionary pressure for alteration in the makeup of cell surface carbohydrates (i.e., suppression of alpha-galactosyl epitope expression) and for the production of the anti-Gal antibody.

  • (13) Previous comparisons have documented in the recently duplicated gamma-fetal globin genes of catarrhine primates, over 15 separate conversions affecting extensive stretches of coding and noncoding sequences.
  • (14) Furthermore, the transition rate in catarrhines, except the gibbon, is higher than those in the tarsier and in platyrrhines, and the transition rate in the gibbon is lower than those in other catarrhines.
  • (15) The catarrhines, which include Old World monkeys, apes, and humans, lack this enzyme activity because of the inactivation of the alpha 1,3GT gene.
  • (16) The remaining 3'-untranslated region and flanking DNAs show no evidence of involvement in any recent conversion event as the parsimony analysis of these sequences group all the alpha 1 globin genes of the different catarrhine species into one clade and all the alpha 2 globin gene of these species into a separate clade.
  • (17) An Alu SINE (short interspersed element), found 3 kb downstream of the poly(A) addition site, arose less than 40 MYA subsequent to the divergence of platyrrhinies (New World monkeys) from catarrhines (humans, apes, and Old World monkeys).
  • (18) As in menstruating catarrhine primates, the endometrium of M. ater is vascularized by spiral arterioles and populated by distinctive granulocytes containing large, acidophilic granules.
  • (19) Oligocene catarrhine molars have increased crushing-grinding capacities and maintained but modify their shearing.
  • (20) Unlike the incisors of other groups, platyrrhines or catarrhines, for example, the apical extremities in the primitive condition are not closer to one another than the basal portions of these teeth.

Human


Definition:

  • (a.) Belonging to man or mankind; having the qualities or attributes of a man; of or pertaining to man or to the race of man; as, a human voice; human shape; human nature; human sacrifices.
  • (n.) A human being.

Example Sentences:

  • (4) The distribution and configuration of the experimental ruptures were similar to those usually noted as complications of human myocardial infarction.
  • (5) By electrophoresis and scanning densitometry, actin was found to constitute about 4% to 6% of the total cellular protein in the human corneal epithelium.

  • (7) Assessment of the likelihood of replication in humans has included in vitro exposure of human cells to the potential pesticidal agent.
  • (8) Herpesviruses such as EBV, HSV, and human herpes virus-6 (HHV-6) have a marked tropism for cells of the immune system and therefore infection by these viruses may result in alterations of immune functions, leading at times to a state of immunosuppression.
  • (9) After stimulation with lipopolysaccharide and calcium ionophore A23187, culture supernatants of clones c18A and c29A showed cytotoxic activity against human melanoma A375 Met-Mix and other cell lines which were resistant to the tumor necrosis factor, lymphotoxin and interleukin 1.
  • (10) Phospholipid methylation in human EGMs is distinctly different from that in rat EGMs (Hirata and Axelrod 1980) in that the human activity is not Mg++-dependent, and apparent methyltransferase I activity is located in the external membrane surface.
  • (11) This bone could not be degraded by human monocytes in vitro as well as control bone (only 54% of control; P less than 0.003).
