What's the difference between osphradium and particle?
Osphradium
Definition:
(n.) The olfactory organ of some Mollusca. It is connected with the organ of respiration.
Example Sentences:
(1) In preparations containing a portion of the osmoregulatory pathway, the osphradium was stimulated by 90% ASW, and the responsiveness of neuron R15, which putatively regulates antidiuresis, was tested.
(2) Contrary to earlier reports on related ampullariids, the osphradium proved to be ontogenetically older than the mantle and mantle cavity.
(3) The osphradium of the animal is presented as a small torulus formed by supporting ciliated cells.
(4) Most chemosensory neurons are primary sensory neurons, although secondary sensory cells have been reported in the osphradium of some prosobranch gastropods.
(5) Other evidence was from mature adults whose osmoreceptive organ, the osphradium, was lesioned; they mimicked osmoregulation measured in old adults.
(6) The osphradium unites the epithelial canal and the ganglion consisting of two cell populations.
(7) By means of scanning and transmissive electron microscopic methods osphradium of Siphonaria grisea has been studied.
(8) These run to the skin in the mantle area near the pneumostome and osphradium.
(9) In contrast to the model established for A. californica, in A. brasiliana no relationship was found between exposure of the osphradium to dilute media and electrical activity in neuron R15, which is in accordance with the lack of an osmoregulatory mechanism in this species.
(10) Between the epithelial-supporting cells, the putative sensory elements consist of thin neurites (0.4-1.5 micron in diameter) that reach the sea-water side of the osphradium.
(11) The osphradium of Aplysia californica, a sensory organ, is a small yellow-brown epithelial patch located in the mantle cavity immediately anterior to the rostral attachment of the gill.
(12) Ciliary supporting and microvillous cells are described; they do not form any specific for the osphradium zones on its surface.
(13) Perfusion of osphradium of A. brasiliana with dilute seawater (95-80%) did not affect electrical activity of the bursting neuron R15; perfusion with 70 and 60% seawater caused a transient increase in the duration of the quiescent period.
(14) Chemoreceptors are commonly associated with the oral area, the tentacles, and the osphradium, which lies in the mantle cavity.
Particle
Definition:
(n.) A minute part or portion of matter; a morsel; a little bit; an atom; a jot; as, a particle of sand, of wood, of dust.
(n.) Any very small portion or part; the smallest portion; as, he has not a particle of patriotism or virtue.
(n.) A crumb or little piece of concecrated host.
(n.) The smaller hosts distributed in the communion of the laity.
(n.) A subordinate word that is never inflected (a preposition, conjunction, interjection); or a word that can not be used except in compositions; as, ward in backward, ly in lovely.
Example Sentences:
(1) Lung sections of rats exposed to quartz particles were significantly different.
(2) In oleate-labeled particles, besides phosphatidic acid the product of PLD action radioactivity was also detected in diglyceride as a result of resident phosphatidate phosphohydrolase, which hydrolyzed the phosphatidic acid.
(3) Subunits maintained under the above ionic conditions were compared with 30S and 50S particles at low (6 mM) magnesium concentration with respect to the reactivity of individual ribosomal proteins to lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination.
(4) Charcoal particles coated with the lipid extract were prepared and the suspension inoculated intravenously into mice.
(5) These observations suggest that the liver secretes disk-shaped lipid bilayer particles which represent both the nascent form of high density lipoproteins and preferred substrate for lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase.
(6) Intramembrane particles (IMP) were quantitatively assessed in the perikaryal plasma membranes of infundibular neurons.
(7) The mode of ribosome degradation under this condition is discussed in terms of differential appearance of these intermediate particles.
(8) When commercial chickens are infected in most sensitive one-day age, the virus titre does not exceed the value of 10(12) particles per 1 ml of plasma.
(9) Interaction of viable macrophages with cationic particles at 37 degrees C resulted in their "internalization" within vesicles and coated pits and a closer apposition between many segments of plasmalemma than with neutral or anionic substances.
(10) A 2-fold increase in the dissolution rate was observed when the same number of particles was immobilized without macrophages.
(11) Photolysis of the photosystem I particles induces a progressive depletion of phylloquinone, however, photochemistry as assayed at room temperature by the photooxidation of P-700 is unaffected.
(12) Taking into account the calculated volume and considering the triangular image as one face of the particle, it is suggested that eIF-3 has the shape of a flat triangular prism with a height of about 7 nm and the above-mentioned side-lengths.
(13) Well defined surface projections could be found in all particle types.
(14) Type C-like particles were found inter- and intracellularly in gland and vessel lumina and scattered in the connective tissue.
(15) The intracellular distribution and interaction of 19S ring-type particles from D. melanogaster have been analysed.
(16) Viral particles in the cultures and the brain were of various sizes and shapes; particles ranged from 70 to over 160 nm in diameter, with a variable position of dense nucleoids and less dense core shells.
(17) In the absence of adequate data exclusively from studies of inhaled particles in people, the results of inhalation studies using laboratory animals are necessary to estimate particle retention in exposed people.
(18) Depletion of extracellular Ca2+ by EGTA [ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N'N'-tetraacetic acid] attenuated both [Ca2+]i increase and superoxide production induced by particles.
(19) Completed RNA chains were released from the subviral particles.
(20) Problems of calculations and predictions on more than two particles moving are known in mathematics and physics since a long time already.
