What's the difference between palp and palpus?

Palp


Definition:

  • (n.) Same as Palpus.
  • (v. t.) To have a distinct touch or feeling of; to feel.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The GRC bound to immobilized histones could be eluted with PALP, but not with its related compounds, such as pyridoxamine, pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate, pyridoxal, and pyridoxine, suggesting a specific effect of PALP.
  • (2) The lobus glomeratus receives inputs from the maxillary palps and also from processess of deutocerebral neurons.
  • (3) Lon-directed degradation of SulA was energy dependent, as was the increase in degradation of SulA in delta lon pAlp+ cells.
  • (4) Paper electrophoretic analysis showed that in the mixture of TOB and PALP, the spot corresponding to TOB alone almost disappeared and the spot associated with TOB overlapped with that associated with PALP, although the spots of TOB alone and PALP alone were observed as single spots on the cathode and anode sides, respectively.
  • (5) The activated glucocorticoid-receptor complexes (GRC) from rat liver bind tightly to histone (from calf thymus)-agarose and cannot be eluted with 3 M KCl or 50% ethylene glycol, but can be eluted with 20 mM pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PALP).
  • (6) Physiologically, the palp-pit receptors respond uniformly; they are most excitable by stimulation with carbon dioxide while they exhibit relatively moderate responses to various odorants.
  • (7) Testing of MAb binding to bacteria showed that a part of the BLp I, PALp I, and PALp II sites was immunoaccessible in intact homologous bacteria, and that the Hm I and Hm II epitopes were inaccessible.
  • (8) It is suggested that there may be an instability of the PALP-albumin complex in this condition.
  • (9) A gonadotropic inhibition is observed by means of oothecal production in Periplaneta americana after unilateral amputation of the mandible, the maxillary palp and the labial palp, in females reared with males at emergence.
  • (10) Similar assays with males deprived of maxillary palps make it unlikely that the basiconic-like sensilla on these appendages are needed to perceive the attraction pheromones.
  • (11) If used together with a myoma drill, large holes can be punched into tumours, making them for the first time well palp-able and revolvable.
  • (12) When aspartate- and alanine transaminase (AST and ALT, respectively) activities were studied in homogenates of rat cerebellum, brain cortex and brain stem (using a modified procedure by Raitman and Frenkel), addition of 50 microM pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PALP) increased 2-3-fold the activity studied.
  • (13) Their action is evidently realized on the level of competition with PALP when these compounds attach to apotransaminases.
  • (14) Intrarenal TOB levels in rats receiving TOB and PALP were lower than those in rats given TOB alone.
  • (15) The effect of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PALP) and trifluoperazine (TFPZ), the calmodulin antagonist, on in vitro platelet adhesion to collagen and collagen-induced platelet activation was studied using platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) or washed platelets (WPL).
  • (16) Sparse fibers were also seen in the body wall, parapodia, and cephalic palps.
  • (17) The olfactory sensilla on the maxillary palp tip of Locusta migratoria (L.) resemble the surrounding contact chemoreceptors in general morphology.
  • (18) The presence of MAO in the epithelium of the buccal palps was also demonstrated.
  • (19) However, pALP appears to lack the internal signal sequence of the corresponding human protein.
  • (20) The formation of the decarboxylated product, muscimol, which primarily occurred in a synaptosomal fraction, was dependent on the presence of pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PALP) and was inhibited by (S)-glutamic acid, 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3MPA), aminooxyacetic acid (AOAA), and allyglycine, suggesting that ibotenic acid is a substrate for GAD.

Palpus


Definition:

  • (n.) A feeler; especially, one of the jointed sense organs attached to the mouth organs of insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and annelids; as, the mandibular palpi, maxillary palpi, and labial palpi. The palpi of male spiders serve as sexual organs. Called also palp. See Illust. of Arthrogastra and Orthoptera.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) (1972) transformations from eye to abdominal like structures, eye to antennal like structures, eye to palpus like structures, rostralhaut to genital like structures, rostralhaut to clasper teeth, and rostralhaut to antennal like structures were observed.
  • (2) We examined the pattern of gynandromorph mosaicism and determined the "sturt distances" between 42 different structures of the head, antenna, and maxillary palpus.
  • (3) Line drawing illustrations of females of 52 species and males of 45 species are presented; they include the head, antenna, maxillary palpus, mandible, legs, wing, and spermathecae of females, and the genitalia of males.
