What's the difference between exuviae and exuvial?

Exuviae


Definition:

  • (n. pl.) Cast skins, shells, or coverings of animals; any parts of animals which are shed or cast off, as the skins of snakes, the shells of lobsters, etc.
  • (n. pl.) The fossil shells and other remains which animals have left in the strata of the earth.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The cuticle of the gill lamina obtained from exuviae had similar properties.
  • (2) Nymphal exuviae of Ap, concolor were highly attractive to adult ticks.
  • (3) In the colonial summer phase, house bees care for the young and keep brood cells clean from feces and exuviae.
  • (4) The emergence of the Pernyi silkmoth from the pupal exuviae is dictated by a brain-centered, photosensitive clock.
  • (5) Two hundred larvae were added to each of a number of soil-filled, plastic tubes, which were buried in the field and retrieved after 2, 5, and 7 d. Of 306 pupae or pupal exuviae recovered, 98.1% were in the top 2 cm of mud.
  • (6) Between cuticles deposited with beta-ecdysone, new formed ducts take place in the theorical imaginal exuvia.
  • (7) One strain attached in approximately equal numbers to both exuviae and whole specimens.
  • (8) Results showed that four of five clinical V. cholerae O1 strains and endogenous bacterial flora were attached preferentially to zooplankton molts (exuviae) rather than to whole specimens.

Exuvial


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to exuviae.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) During the process of emergence this gas moves into the exuvial space through the adult spiracles and then follows the exuvial fluid into the alimentary canal.
  • (2) We investigated the involvement of the enzyme, carbonic anhydrase, in the calcification-decalcification processes occurring in the posterior caeca of the midgut of the terrestrial crustacean, Orchestia cavimana, before and after exuviation.
  • (3) Reduction of the apical cell membrane of the tormogen cell after apolysis permits unrestricted growth of the new hair into the exuvial space.
  • (4) It was presumed that the stage III larva had exuviated in the human stomach.
  • (5) In post-exuvial period, we found only weak specific reaction products, thus indicating a reduced active calcium transport as these ions are rapidly reabsorbed down the concentration gradient.
  • (6) For both ATPases as well as alkaline phosphatase, the specific reaction products were most intense during the pre-exuvial period, i.e.
  • (7) This enzyme was ultrahistochemically localized throughout the membranes of the caecal epithelium as well as extracellularly, i.e., within pre-exuvial calcareous concretions and postexuvial calcified spherules.
  • (8) This fluid begins to disappear from the exuvial space approximately 9-10 h before the actual shedding of the integument.
  • (9) Acetazolamide treatment in vivo inhibited about 50% of the calcium uptake during both pre-exuvial secretion and postexuvial reabsorption.
  • (10) We argue that the potassium salt solution, formed in the exuvial space (as water presumably follows the actively transported potassium), has three functions (1) to accomplish the gel--sol transformation, (2) to activate the gel enzymes and (3) to buffer the enzyme solution at a pH favourable to the activity of the gel enzymes.
  • (11) The exuvial side of the pharate pupal integument is usually positive to the haemolymph-side, both in vivo and in vitro, during the period when the moulting fluid is being secreted.
  • (12) In a normal 32 mM KHCO3 saline, potential difference (PD) is around 10 mV, exuvial side positive, and short-circuit current (SCC) is 15-20 microA cm-2.
  • (13) Their level is maximum at the time of the exuviation.
  • (14) This formation associated with a diplosome goes through the duct cell and ends up in the exuvial space.
  • (15) The ratio of potassium flux toward the exuvial space is higher than that toward the haemolymph, under both open-circuit conditions and short-circuit conditions, demonstrating by the Flux Ratio test that potassium is actively transported across the isolated integument during this secretion period.
