Crustacean
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the Crustacea; crustaceous.
(n.) An animal belonging to the class Crustacea.
Example Sentences:

Oostegite
Definition:
(n.) One of the plates which in some Crustacea inclose a cavity wherein the eggs are hatched.
Example Sentences:
(1) Whether oostegites develop in puberal females whose ovaries have been removed depends upon the degree of maturation of the ovaries at the time of removal.
(2) An extract of vitellogenic ovaries induced oostegite formation in ovariectomized females and andrectomized males, but not in intact males.
(3) Six months later these animals formed oostegites and laid eggs, and when bred with normal males, produced only male offspring.
