What's the difference between digestive and gastrovascular?
Digestive
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to digestion; having the power to cause or promote digestion; as, the digestive ferments.
(n.) That which aids digestion, as a food or medicine.
(n.) A substance which, when applied to a wound or ulcer, promotes suppuration.
(n.) A tonic.
Example Sentences:
(1) Tryptic digestion of the membranes caused complete disappearance of the binding activity, but heat-treatment for 5 min at 70 degrees C caused only 40% loss of activity.
(2) The neurologic or digestive signs were present in 12% of the children.
(3) Lp(a) also complexes to plasmin-fibrinogen digests, and binding increases in proportion to the time of plasmin-induced fibrinogen degradation.
(4) To determine whether or not the glycan moieties in hTPO play a role in the disease-associated epitopes in Hashimoto's thyroiditis, radiolabeled recombinant hTPO was immunoprecipitated after digestion with N-glycanase.
(5) During the digestion of these radiolabeled bacteria, murine bone marrow macrophages produced low-molecular-weight substances that coeluted chromatographically with the radioactive cell wall marker.
(6) This suggests that a physiological mechanism exists which can increase the barrier pressure to gastrooesophageal reflux during periods of active secretion of the stomach, as occurs in digestion.
(7) Under milder trypsin digestion conditions three resistant fragments were produced from the free protein.
(8) Conditions for limited digestion of the heterodimer by subtilisin, removing only the carboxyl terminus, were determined.
(9) High radioactivities were observed in the digestive organs, mesenteric lymphnodes, liver, pancreas, urinary bladder, fat tissue, kidney and spleen after oral administration to rats.
(10) Digestion is initiated in the gastric region by secretion of acid and pepsin; however, diversity of digestive enzymes is highest in the post-gastric alimentary canal with the greatest proteolytic activity in the spiral valve.
(11) Digestion of cytoplasmic components of horny cells was observed by electron microscopy, but both cell membranes and desmosomes remained intact.
(12) Therefore, we conclude this is a bovine DR beta-like pseudogene, BoDR beta I. Exon-containing regions have been used as probes in Southern blot analyses of bovine genomic DNA digested with EcoRI.
(13) The effect of dietary fibre digestion in the human gut on its ability to alter bowel habit and impair mineral absorption has been investigated using the technique of metablic balance.
(14) Between the 24th and 29th day mature daughter sporocysts with fully developed cercariae ready to emerge, or already emerged, could be seen in the digestive gland of the snail.
(15) Amino acid analysis indicated a significant number of serine amino acids: N-terminal sequence data demonstrated a high level of homology; and trypsin digestion followed by reversed-phase HPLC indicated the possibility of multiple phosphorylation sites.
(16) Radio-immunoprecipitation and partial proteolytic digest mapping showed that the monoclonal antibodies each recognized a unique epitope.
(17) Health information dissemination is severely complicated by the widespread stigma associated with digestive topics, manifested in the American public's general discomfort in communicating with others about digestive health.
(18) Since the gastric motor pattern consisted of two major subpatterns, digestive and interdigestive motor activity, motilin was tested for its motor stimulating activity in both states.
(19) The product (AF-AGIIb-1) of digestion of AGIIb-1 with exo-alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase had markedly increased anti-complementary activity, as did that (AF-N-I) of N-I.
(20) The digestion products were separated by electrophoresis in agarose gels.
Gastrovascular
Definition:
(a.) Having the structure, or performing the functions, both of digestive and circulatory organs; as, the gastrovascular cavity of c/lenterates.
Example Sentences:
(1) Histopathological examinations of the soft tissues surrounding and extending into the skeletal masses revealed proliferation of gastrovascular canals and associated calicoblastic epidermis, with loss of normal polyp structures and zooxanthellae.
(2) In its normal ontogeny, Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus, a closely related hydractiniid hydroid, not only shows morphological heterochrony similar to that induced in P. carnea by DNP, but also shows a pattern of gastrovascular flow similar to that observed in P. carnea under treatment with DNP.
(3) Developing oocytes of the cnidarian Bunodosoma cavernata are located within the mesoglea of the mesenteries of the gastrovascular cavity.
(4) This morphological heterochrony can be related to the hydrodynamic behavior of the gastrovascular system under the conditions of "loose-coupling" of oxidative phosphorylation produced by DNP.
(5) A localized constriction is formed just below the sites of tentacle attachment, preventing the loss of gastrovascular contents.
(6) Hydra that still contain partially digested food in their gastrovascular cavities, undergo a modified feeding response when they ingest additional prey.
