Hypodermic


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to the parts under the skin.

  • (14) Three morphologically distinct rickettsial forms were observed in individual hypodermal cells: (i) typical growth forms with a finely reticulated cytoplasmic matrix and distinct ribosomes; (ii) atypical forms with lightly to densely staining cytoplasm and a coagulated appearance in which ribosomes cannot be distinguished from the matrix; and (iii) forms with crystalline bodies that have a striated to beaded lattice structure and, at times, a fibrillar body in the cytoplasm as well.
  • (15) The effects of mutations in these four genes on dauer larva formation have revealed that they regulate two different processes of dauer larva formation: (1) a decision specifying the larval stage at which dauer larva development initiates, and (2) the specialized differentiation of hypodermal cells during dauer larva morphogenesis.

Pachyderm


Definition:

  • (n.) One of the Pachydermata.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In human tissues, in addition to "pachyderm" skin changes (keratosis, papillomatosis, acanthosis and collagen deposition), there was blood vessel and lymphatic vasculopathy similar to ferrets (angiocentric inflammation, congestion, vasculitis, thrombosis, thickened vessel walls, dilated lymphatics, lymphangitis, reactive lymph nodal hyperplasia and nodal fibrosis).
