What's the difference between decapod and decapoda?
Decapod
Definition:
(n.) A crustacean with ten feet or legs, as a crab; one of the Decapoda. Also used adjectively.
Example Sentences:
(1) Clearance of foreign materials from the hemocoel of decapod crustaceans involves several distinct kinds of cells.
(2) Single actin control was found in the fast muscles of decapods, in mysidacea, in a single sipunculid species, and in vertebrate striated muscles.
(3) The luciferin of the bioluminescent decapod shrimp, Oplophorus gracilorostris, was purified and studied with respect to u.v.
(4) In the walking legs of decapod crustaceans, intersegmental reflex actions originate from various joint proprioceptors.
(5) This suggests that the mechanisms of cuticle secretion do not undergo marked changes in activity as they do in decapods; presumably this relative continunity is related to the much shorter molt cycle of cladocerans.
(6) Similar inclusions were not found in the leg axons of a variety of other decapod crustaceans.
(7) Accordingly, the function of this organ is probably the same in decapods and Armadillidium.
(8) Also, in decapod crustaceans a peptidic neurodepressing hormone (NDH) modulates neuroelectrical and behavioural rhythmicity.
(9) In Crustaceans, the free amino acid composition of the hemolymph thus appears, both quantitatively and qualitatively, to be a biochemical character of marine Isopods when compared to Oniscoids Isopods and to Decapods.
(10) Possible implications of these findings for phylogenetic relations of decapod crustaceans and for the evolution of neural circuits are discussed.
(11) The gross anatomy of the hepatopancreas of this species is simpler than that of decapods, but microscopically the cells are similar in both.
(12) While much less genically variable than other invertebrates, Homarus is not atypical when compared with eleven decapod species that average 5.8% heterozygosity.
(13) Neurotransmitters used by the STG motoneurons of stomatopods are compared to those of decapods.
(14) In comparison with the other trypsins from the Crustacean decapods, the shrimp enzymes have four pairs of disulfide bonds, intermediary between the crayfish trypsin (three pairs) and the crab trypsin (five pairs), and are immunochemically different from them.
(15) Myosin control is not found in striated vertebrate muscles and in the fast muscles of crustacean decapods, although regulatory light chains are present.
(16) An overview of studies on the decapod crustacean cardiac ganglion is given emphasizing contributions to questions of general interest in cellular neurophysiology.
(17) Analysis of data obtained from molecular hybridization of 3H-labeled repetitious DNA has been utilized to reconstruct the broad outlines of phylogenetic relationships among decapod Crustacea.
(18) In the crab Carcinus maenas, as in other decapod crustaceans, the extracellular pH varies with temperature so that the relative alkalinity remains approximately constant.
(19) These results confirmed earlier reports by Yonge (1924) and van Weel (1955) on the decapods, Nephrops norvegicus and Atya spinides, respectively.
(20) In particular, the inhibitory axons of the reptantian decapod leg have been reported, in various studies within four different infraorders, to innervate anywhere from one to all seven of the leg's distal muscles and to vary in number from two to four.
Decapoda
Definition:
(n. pl.) The order of Crustacea which includes the shrimps, lobsters, crabs, etc.
(n. pl.) A division of the dibranchiate cephalopods including the cuttlefishes and squids. See Decacera.
Example Sentences:
(1) The large plumose setae are studied in Palaemon serratus (Decapoda) and Sphaeroma serratum (Isopoda) during premolt.
(2) Astacus astacus L. (Crustacea: Decapoda) were estimated by several biochemical and histochemical methods.
(3) The consistency of low heterozygosity estimates in the order Decapoda suggests that its explanation may include both order specific differences such as low mutation or intracistronic recombination rates and species specific differences.
(4) 1) Glycogen is degraded in the abdominal muscle of the shrimp Crangon crangon (Decapoda, Crustacea) during the recovery period following work.
(5) The "S" crabe virus recently isolated from Macropipus depurator (Decapoda) has been purified and its nucleic acid has been recognized as a DNA.
(6) Free fatty acids extracted from the abdominal muscle of Palaemon serratus (Crustacea, Decapoda) maintained on a L-D: 19-5 photoperiod show important circadian variations, characterised by two diurnal maximums and one nocturnal by the end of dark period.
(7) The hemocyanins of Oniscoidea are similar to those of Decapoda having a structure of comparable molecular weight protomers.
(8) Special attention is called to paradoxical situations, such as the presence of satellite-like cells in the myocardium of Decapoda, DNA-synthesizing capacity observed in the nuclei of growing somatic muscles of the silkworm, or DNA-synthesizing and chromosome-reproducing capacity of adult primate and human cardiomyocytes.
