What's the difference between catarrhine and nostril?
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:

(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.
Nostril
Definition:
(n.) One of the external openings of the nose, which give passage to the air breathed and to secretions from the nose and eyes; one of the anterior nares.
(n.) Perception; insight; acuteness.
Example Sentences:
(1) "The new feminine ideal is of egg-smooth perfection from hairline to toes," she writes, describing the exquisite agony of having her fingers, arms, back, buttocks and nostrils waxed.

(3) The phantosmia could be eliminated by nostril occlusion or cocainization of the olfactory epithelium on the involved side.
(4) Two S. aureus strains isolated from the nostril and finger of one person working in the mouse colony were identified as the same biotype as the murine strains but different in phage type, coagulase type and drug resistance pattern.
(5) But really it's because That's What Real Cyclists Do, along with blowing their noses by shooting snot out of a nostril at high speed, and obsessing over their weight.
(6) A total dose of 360 micrograms of ipratropium bromide (60 micrograms into each nostril, repeated twice at 15 min intervals) were administered nasally to the subjects in randomized order.
(7) For the reconstruction of the nostril a nasolabial flap is recommended.
(8) Since forced unilateral nostril breathing activates the contralateral brain hemisphere, an animal analogue of this technique could be provided by methylmethacrylate gluing large plastic pellets in either the right or left nostrils in a group of rats.
(9) I still have the stench of their debasement in my nostrils.
(10) Detection thresholds for phenylethyl alcohol were measured separately in each nostril using a forced-choice staircase procedure.
(11) But at this moment of the final parting, my heart is heavy with sorrow and grief.” On death: “There is an end to everything and I want mine to come as quickly and painlessly as possible, not with me incapacitated, half in coma in bed and with a tube going into my nostrils and down to my stomach.” “Even from my sickbed, even if you are going to lower me to the grave and I feel that something is going wrong, I will get up.
(12) Inclusion of signs of respiratory distress (flaring of nostrils, intercostal retraction) raised the specificity to 83-84%, but reduced sensitivity to 68%.
(13) In the first cycle (pretreatment cycle), only the vehicle (alcohol, propylene glycol, water; 3:3:4) was sprayed intranasally (100 microliters in each nostril), using a metered nebulizer, once daily from day 3 to the last day of menstrual cycle.
