Owlet


Definition:

  • (n.) A small owl; especially, the European species (Athene noctua), and the California flammulated owlet (Megascops flammeolus).

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The results therefore indicate that the effect of morphine on the HNS of the spotted owlet is dose-dependent.
  • (2) A comparative study on the distribution of alkaline phosphatase (AlP), acid phosphatase (AcP) and 5'-nucleotidase (5-N) amongst the different constituents of retinae of owlet and house sparrow revealed some interesting aspects of the localization of such phosphatases in both the cases.
  • (3) The configuration of the HNS of the spotted owlet, Athene brama Temminck, was studied by employing the bulk-staining technique.
  • (4) Hence the histological changes induced by NaF administration in the HNS of the spotted owlet are presumably indicative of increased neurosecretory activity resulting in the augmented secretion of ADH.
  • (5) The effect of chronic administration of morphine, in gradually increasing doses, on the histology of the HNS of the spotted owlet was investigated.
  • (6) Unlike in the passerine birds, in the spotted owlet the PVN is more prominently developed than the SON.
  • (7) Since it is well established that formalin stress causes augmented secretion of ADH and that there is a close functional relationship existing between ADH and NSM, the depletion of NSM noticed in the HNS of the spotted owlet following formalin administration is interpreted as indicating augmented secretion of ADH.
  • (8) The NSM in the hypothalamo-hypophysial tract, the zona externa of the anterior median eminence (ME) and in the neural lobe (NL) showed only a partial lossmthe effects of NaF administration on the HNS of the spotted owlet are similar to those induced by such stimulators of ADH secretion as hypertonic saline, morphine and formalin.
  • (9) Administration of 10 or 20 mg of sodium fluoride (NaF) induced depletion of neurosecretory material (NSM) from the neurons of the supraoptic (SON) and paraventricular (PVN) nuclei in spotted owlet (Athene brama Temminck).
  • (10) Studies on the HNS of the spotted owlet by the bulk-staining technique reveal that the general configuration of the system is comparable to that of the HNS of birds studied previously.
  • (11) Histological changes induced in the HNS of the spotted owlet, Athene brama Temminck, by injection of 1 ml 5 or 10% formalin are described.
