(n.) A genus of large univalve mollusks, including the partridge shell and tun shells.
Example Sentences:
Folium
Definition:
(n.) A leaf, esp. a thin leaf or plate.
(n.) A curve of the third order, consisting of two infinite branches, which have a common asymptote. The curve has a double point, and a leaf-shaped loop; whence the name. Its equation is x3 + y3 = axy.
Example Sentences:
(1) The results are consistent with the hypothesis that during the early stages of cerebellar development the Bergmann fiber palisades organize the orientation of the parallel fibers in the longitudinal plane of the folium.
(2) In the lateral wall of folium VII there was a small anomalous region innervated by the contralateral eye.3.
(3) In a superficial folium of the dorsal paraflocculus of high decerebrate rabbits, extracellular unitary spikes were recorded from a Purkinje cell, while two parallel fibre beams impinging onto that Purkinje cell were separately stimulated in the molecular layer.
(4) The low-threshold region from which saccades could be evoked with stimulus intensities less than 10 microA was confined to lobule VII in seven monkeys; in the other five monkeys it included a posterior part of lobule VI (folium VIc).
(5) A single injection at the fifth postnatal day produces hypogranular cerebella whereas a single injection at birth produces, in addition, a disorderly cytoarchitecture of the folium and alteration of Purkinje cell positioning (Bejar et al.
(6) The content of constituents in Folium pyrrosiae was calculated from the relevant peak height or peak area.
(7) Histotypic migration of [3H]thymidine pulse-labeled granule cell neurons in cerebellar folium explants was monitored in the presence of antibodies to cell adhesion molecules and quantified by automatic image analysis.
(8) Seven oncogenes (c-myc, L-myc, N-myc, v-erbB, c-fos, Ha-ras and mos) were used as the probe to detect the total RNA of every part (cerebellum, temporal folium, frontal folium and occipital folium) in human brain from 2 cases of 6 mon fetus and the total RNA in fetal development (4 mon, 5 mon, 6 mon, 7 mon, and newborn) of human brain tissue by RNA dot hybridization analysis.
(9) Three active constituents in seven species of Folium Pyrrosiae (mangiferin, isomangiferin and chlorogenic acid) have been determined.
(10) At the middle of cerebellar development, around 2nd postnatal week in rat and 12-16 embryonary days in chick, a new polyanionic transient accumulation, presumably chondroitinsulphate, became present at the medullary region following the longitudinal axis of folium and limiting the forming granular layer, being this substance mainly related with polarity processes by controlling or guiding the growing cones of afferent fibers, which enter massively to cerebellar cortex.
(11) Among the 78 control cases, no cholecystic stones were excreted, inspite of the Magnesium Sulfate, Folium Cassiae and fatty meals administered to many cases with constipation.
(12) Although the basic types of operations carried out by cerebellar cortex may be similar in all folia, the mosaic of afferent sources, intrinsic organization and efferent destinations appear to be unique for each folium.
(13) Taste buds were found in the epithelium of only one side of each folium.
(14) Six new antiallergic and antimicrobial principles, thunberginols A, B, C, D, E, and F, were isolated from Hydrangeae Dulcis Folium, the fermented and dried leaves of Hydrangea macrophylla SERINGE var.
(15) When the neighborhoods were extended with fixed orientation with respect to the axis of the folium, the hexagonal arrangement disappeared.
(16) In the third stage, the dendritic arbor becomes flattened in the plane transverse to the folium and somatic spines disappear.
(17) Hippocampal neuron densities in three areas (H1 zone, end folium, and dentate gyrus) were counted in each of 32 temporal lobectomy excision specimens using the technique of Mouritzen Dam.
(18) By omitting the component NH4NO3 and doubling the amount of KNO3 in MS medium, the Panax quinque folium cells cultured in such medium grew more rapidly and their saponin content was much higher than that cultured in regular MS medium.
(19) Stretch of a single wrist muscle excited P-cells over a distance of about 1 mm in the long axis of a folium, a span which is at most half the length of parallel fibers.
(20) An aqueous extract of Orthosiphonis folium, given orally, enhances considerably ion excretion in rat to a level comparable to that obtained with furosemide.
