What's the difference between octopod and octopoda?
Octopod
Definition:
(n.) One of the Octocerata.
Example Sentences:
(1) The function of the epistellar body, lying within the mantle of octopods is still unknown.
(2) The subpeduncualte lobe of the octopod brain produces a hormone that is released into the orbit.
(3) Individuals belonging to five genera (decapod and octopod) were anaesthetized and subsequently revived at temperatures ranging from 13 to 22 degrees C. At no stage of anaesthesia does MgCl2 appear to cause any trauma.
(4) Octopod and decapod lenses share one common major squid-type crystallin of 29 kDa, with one additional novel crystallin present only in the octopus lens.
(5) The administration of reserpine produced a marked decrease in the concentration of catecholamines and 5-hydroxytryptamine in octopod nervous tissue.5.
(6) In dispersed acinar cells prepared from guinea pig pancreas, peptides isolated from amphibian skin (caerulein, bombesin, litorin, and physalaemin) as well as eledoisin, a peptide isolated from the posterior salivary gland of a Mediterranean octopod, increased outflux of 45Ca, release of bound 45Ca, accumulation of cyclic GMP, and release of amylase.
(7) In cirrate octopods, the eye is an open cup without lens and the retinal rhabdoms are disorganized.
(8) Octopod (Octo) is a mutation of the moth Manduca sexta, which results in the homeotic transformation of the ventral surface of the first (A1) and less often the second (A2) abdominal segments in the anterior direction.
(9) The spot occurs on the stellate ganglion of octopods.
(10) In dispersed acini prepared from guinea pig pancreas, peptides isolated from amphibian skin (caerulein, bombesin, litorin, and physalaemin) as well as eledoisin, a peptide isolated from the posterior salivary gland of a Mediterranean octopod, caused a significant increase in amylase release.
Octopoda
Definition:
(n.pl.) Same as Octocerata.
(n.pl.) Same as Arachnida.
Example Sentences:
(1) The species is the sole member of the coleoidean order Vampyromorpha, which represents a level of organization intermediate between that of the Sepioidea-Teuthoidea and the Octopoda.
(2) Sperm morphology supports the current assignment of Vampyroteuthis to a separate coleoidean order--Vampyromorpha--and also suggests that a close link exists between the Vampyromorpha and Octopoda.
