What's the difference between notopodium and parapodium?
Notopodium
Definition:
(n.) The dorsal lobe or branch of a parapodium. See Parapodium.
Example Sentences:
Parapodium
Definition:
(n.) One of the lateral appendages of an annelid; -- called also foot tubercle.
Example Sentences:
(1) For example, in experiments in which the body wall and parapodium remained attached to the nerves, the proteins were transported to the skin region that contains the glands.
(2) About 1% cause contralateral contraction, and they project directly to the contralateral parapodium.
(3) 39 children using a parapodium were compared with 29 children in wheelchairs.
(4) Children using the parapodium were more likely to develop lesions of the lower extremities, to have dislocated hips, to be more obese and to watch more television; children using wheelchairs were more likely to develop lesions of the gluteal region, to have knee-flexion contractures and to have fewer fecal accidents.
(5) The parapodium was judged by families to be less effective as a mobility aid; however, the upright posture it allows was considered extremely advantageous.
(6) Walking velocities were significantly higher with the parapodium, but energy cost and gait efficiency were significantly better with the swivel walker.
(7) This study determined the self-selected walking velocity and maximum walking velocity of 10 paraplegic children using two orthotic devices, the parapodium and swivel walker, and compared the energy cost, gait efficiency and relative exercise intensity (per cent maximum heart-rate).
(8) Supernumary parapodia which developed at the site of junction of the heterologous faces of host and graft of opposite sexes, might have the characters of either sex; this result can be interpreted by supposing that a supernumary parapodium is derived from tissues of either host or graft, of the corresponding sex.
(9) Hemolymph collected from the neck of an intact donor following strong electrical stimulation of the tail or excision of a parapodium ('stimulated hemolymphh, SHL) caused long-lasting contractions which were larger than those produced by control hemolymph (CHL) collected prior to stimulation of the donor.
(10) Although walking velocity is slower, the lower metabolic cost appears to give the swivel walker an advantage over the parapodium.
