Flipper


Definition:

  • (n.) A broad flat limb used for swimming, as those of seals, sea turtles, whales, etc.
  • (n.) The hand.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The rostral brainstem of the harbor seal Phoca vitulina was cooled and heated 33-41 degrees C while oxygen consumption and rectal, hypothalamic, flipper and dorsal skin temperatures were measured.

  • (7) Arteriovenous anastomoses are important in the regulation of body temperature in seals; when these animals are on land, AVAs function to dissipate body heat, and vascular thermoregulation occurs in the flippers but notover the general body surface.
