(a.) Pertaining to the gula or throat; as, gular plates. See Illust. of Bird, and Bowfin.
Example Sentences:
(1) Although they occur in localized clusters rather than lines, the four distinct pit organ clusters occurring in axolotls are referred to as the anterior, middle, middle cheek, and gular pit lines as they appear to be homologous to the similarly named pit lines in fishes on the basis of their topography and innervation.
(2) In experiment 2, areas were localized from which gular extension, a common component of defensive and aggressive behavior, could be evoked in anesthetized animals.
(3) Initially, gular extension was evoked while the animal was anesthetized and later the animal was tested while freely moving and unanesthetized.
(4) In this case the inhibition of respiratory movements induced by the hypocapnia (hypocapnic apnea) permitted a more forceful manifestation of the component of the thermoreflex which acts via the hyoid muscles and which is responsible for the synchronous 'gular flutterin'.
(5) Mucus alone induced yawning, gaping, fixed yawning, fixed gaping, writhing tongue movements, gular and chewing movements, and climbing behavior, but attenuated locomotor activity.
(6) The rate of gular fluttering increased by up to 150% as compared to normal panting.
(7) After the age of 15 days and in adults, acclimated pigeons exposed to 48-60 degrees C Ta could regulate normal body temperature (Tb) without employing either panting or gular fluttering.
(8) The correlation of frequency of fibres of particular types with the body size, gular oscillation frequency, and some other characteristics of the submandibular muscle in the examined species was discussed.
(9) Abolishing gular flutter reduced total mwe by an average of 20% at air temperatures (Ta) above 40 degrees C. Treated birds developed a significantly greater degree of hyperthermia during acute heat stress than the controls and, unlike the controls, were unable to maintain Tb less than Ta above 40 degrees C. These data demonstrate that gular flutter represents a significant cooling mechanism in heat-stressed quail.
(10) The anterior lateral-line nerves innervate neuromasts of the supraorbital, infraorbital and preoperculo-mandibular canals as well as dorsally located anterior pit lines, cheek (horizontal, vertical and mandibular) and gular pit lines of superficial neuromasts and the spiracular organ.
(11) The response was monitored by changes in the rate and amplitude of movements of the body wall and gular apparatus respectively.
(12) Other noteworthy cutaneous traits include: concomitant epidermal and dermal pigmentation in the face and scalp; Merkel-like disks in the friction surfaces; moderately well-developed Haarscheibe, associated with large, dorsal guard hairs; small, discrete sebaceous glands throughout the dorsum; a 1:1 ratio of apocrine glands to hair follicles in the facial, gular and anogenital areas; and numerous cholinesterase-reactive nerves around eccrine but not apocrine secretory coils.
(13) Oxygen consumption, body temperature (Tb), and evaporative water loss (mwe) were determined in intact Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix), and in quail in which the hyoid musculature responsible for gular flutter had been surgically transected several days prior to study.

(2) In the far east is the arid, depressed country leading down Hell’s Canyon, which bottoms out at the Snake River, which the wolves crossed when they moved from Idaho, and which they now treat more as a crosswalk than a barrier.
(3) Snakes did not only exhibit the major cell- and humoral-mediated immune functions, but these functions appeared to be linked with the degree of MLR disparity.
(4) Weighed amounts of lyophilized venom from each snake were compared chronologically for variation in isoelectric focusing patterns, using natural and immobilized gradients.

(6) Forty patients with Crotalidae snake bites were evaluated and treated over a 7-year period.
(7) The presence of proteins antigenically related to Bothrops asper myotoxins in various snake venoms, mainly from South America, was investigated by using polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies.

(14) While the hemagglutination activity of each of the previously described lactose-binding snake venom lectins is inhibited by reducing agent, the activities of BML and JML are not affected by reducing agent.
