What's the difference between lacertilia and lacertilian?
Lacertilia
Definition:
(n. pl.) An order of Reptilia, which includes the lizards.
Example Sentences:
(1) Among the Scincomorpha, the Lacertilia result from two parts of different origins.
(2) The segmental arrangement of the nerve supply in the sacral and pudendal plexuses was compared to that of Lacertilia and Urodela as a basis for a morphological analysis of the pelvic outlet muscles.
(3) These features support the idea that the amphisbaenids could be situated within the Squamata at the same level as in Ophidia and Lacertilia.
(4) The most frequently affected reptiles were iguana (Iguana iguana), reticulated python (Python reticulatus), rattlesnakes (Crotalus spp), common boa (Constrictor constrictor), and lizards (various genera of suborder Lacertilia).
Lacertilian
Definition:
(a. & n.) Same as Lacertian.
Example Sentences:
(1) Differences between calycine units and the type I hair cell of mammals are discussed, and evidence that suggests an equilibratory function for the lacertilian papilla neglecta is presented.
(2) In spring the lamina propria of lacertilian testis shows 1-5 layers of myoid cells which are rich in 50-70 A filaments and exhibit plasmalemmal and intracellular dense patches, smooth vesicles along the cell membrane and a concentration of organelles in a juxtanuclear position.
(3) Similar localization and ultrastructure of avian pecten oculi and lacertilian conus papillaris suggest homology of these structures.
(4) The cellular connectivity of the lacertilian parietal eye is not well understood.
(5) The nucleoi do not have the same ultrastructure in the 5 Lacertilians; differences are noted in the dense fibrillar constituant and the composition of the nucleolus varies.
(6) The circannual chronobiology of Varanus exanthematicus exanthematicus Bose, lacertilian reptile of Senegal, is characterized by a period of rest from January to June during the dry season and a period of activity from July to December during the wet season.
(7) The external zone of the lacertilian median eminence contains numerous immunoreactive vasotocinergic fibers and only few immunoreactive mesotocinergic fibers.
(8) There are fibrous nuclear bodies in the three Lacertilians but the germ cells of Lacerta muralis have in addition granular bodies.
(9) Lacertilian species display a remarkable diversity in the organization of the neural apparatus of their pineal organ (epiphysis cerebri).
(10) In both species of lacertilian reptiles investigated, the peptidergic hypothalamic supraoptic and paraventricular nucleus project with efferents to the telencephalon, to caudal parts of the brain, and to the spinal cord.
(11) The circannual chronobiology of Varanus exanthematicus exanthematicus Bosc, lacertilian reptile of Senegal, is characterized by a period of rest from January to June (dry season) and a period of activity from July to December (wet season).
(12) Since pinealectomy as well as light deprivation to the pineal abolished the stimulatory influence of long-length photoperiods, the pineal gland is discussed here as a major transmitter of photic stimulus in lacertilian tail regeneration.
(13) In fact, it must be assumed that a rapid change of many features of the throat muscles occurred during the early evolution of lizards in order to provide the basis for further differentiation with extant lacertilian infraorders.
(14) The "paranucleolar body" is present in 4 Lacertilians but absent in Lacerta muralis.
(15) Conversely, injections of 5-hydroxytryptophan induce a strong darkening, a result similar to that previously reported in some amphibian species and in one lacertilian species.
(16) In Lacertilians, we found pinealocytic terminals without ribbons on dendrite-like profiles.
(17) In the 5 Lacertilians the cytoplasm of the pyriform cells contains numerous mitochondria, a well developed Golgi apparatus, free ribosomes, glycogen-like particles, annulate lamellae, bundles of microfilaments and microtubules.
(18) It is suggested that PRL may be the active factor that speeds up the rate of tail regeneration in lacertilians.
(19) Based on a global exploration of the hindlimb in some lacertilian species, an equally global functional approach has been undertaken, which led to the concept of the crural mechanism, an integral mechanism comprising the knee joint and the joints between respectively tibia and fibula on the one hand and the astragalocalcaneum on the other.
(20) In contrast to the morphology of pelvic outlet muscles in lacertilians, in fowl the caudal muscle element does not contribute to the formation of these muscles.
