What's the difference between perissodactyl and zebra?

Perissodactyl


Definition:

  • (n.) One of the Perissodactyla.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Contrasting with this wide spectrum, no significant binding was found with most mammalian ungulates, such as horse (Perissodactyl), cow, sheep and goat (Artiodactyls).
  • (2) Trichostrongyles occur in the gut and less commonly in the stomach and the lungs of all classes of terrestrial vertebrates except the Perissodactyls and the Proboscidian.
  • (3) Newly prepared endocasts of Hyracotherium, the oldest horse and one of the earliest perissodactyls, reveal a relatively larger brain, with a more expanded neocortex, than existed in the condylarth ancestors of perissodactyls.
  • (4) The hilar arteries, unlike the other two perissodactyl families (rhinoceri and equids), passed through the cortico-medullary (C-M) border and some large arteries and veins passed through the outer medulla to and from the C-M border without branches or tributaries.
  • (5) Attempts to detect placental lactogen using bioassay and radioreceptor assay are reported and have been unsuccessful in an insectivore (the shrew), a bat, an edentate (the armadillo), a lagomorph (the rabbit), several carnivores (dog, cat, ferret), perissodactyls (horse, zebra, rhino), and, within the artiodactyls, pigs.
  • (6) These observations were extended to several marsupials, carnivora, pinnipeda and perissodactyles.
  • (7) Phylogenetic findings include the association of (1) cetaceans, artiodactyls, and perissodactyls to the exclusion of elephants and humans, (2) pronghorn and fallow deer to the exclusion of bovids (i.e., cow, sheep, and goat), (3) sheep and goat to the exclusion of other pecorans (i.e., cow, giraffe, deer, and pronghorn), and (4) advanced ruminants to the exclusion of the chevrotain and other artiodactyls.
  • (8) No definite conclusions can be drawn about the order of divergence of the perissodactyls, the rodents, and the group consisting of artiodactyls plus cetaceans.

Zebra


Definition:

  • (n.) Either one of two species of South African wild horses remarkable for having the body white or yellowish white, and conspicuously marked with dark brown or brackish bands.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Furthermore, female zebra finches responded strongly to AE-treated males and preferred intact males given small AE implants to unsupplemented males.
  • (2) Intracellular recordings were made from zebra finch hyperstriatum ventrale pars caudale (HVc) neurones in in vitro slice preparations.
  • (3) These results are compatible with the idea that tamoxifen does not block the action of estradiol in the brain of zebra finches, and suggest that the effects of early tamoxifen treatment on the morphology of the song system may reflect central actions of tamoxifen.
  • (4) The striped expression of the Drosophila segmentation gene fushi tarazu in alternate parasegments of the early embryo is controlled by the 740 bp zebra element.
  • (5) Ultrastructurally, they consist of membranous arrays which often are of the "zebra body" variety.
  • (6) According to their periodicity, their banding pattern, their association with polyanionic matrix components and their sensitivity towards glycosaminoglycan-degrading enzymes we could distinguish (1) sheets of amorphous non-banded material consisting of irregularly arranged filaments and containing dermatan sulfate-rich proteoglycans (type I structures), (2) sheets of long-spacing fibrils consisting of parallel orientated filaments and containing chondroitin sulfate-rich proteoglycans (= zebra bodies; type II structures), and (3) fibrillar structures with a complex banding pattern different from that of native collagen fibrils (type III structures).
  • (7) Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) encodes a protein, ZEBRA, which enables the virus to switch from a latent to a lytic life cycle.
  • (8) It's essential she grows to love me more than that zebra.
  • (9) Here we show that the protein product of the BZLF1 gene (ZEBRA) can transactivate its own promoter by a mechanism which involves direct binding to a region distinct from the ZI and ZII element.
  • (10) Because of the large number of zebra bodies seen, the name "zebra body myopathy" is provisionally proposed.
  • (11) An ultrastructural investigation of two cutaneous lesions in a two-year-old Turkish boy with disseminated lipogranulomatosis (Farber) revealed curvilinear bodies in fibroblasts, histiocytes, and endothelial cells; "elongated membranes" in fibroblasts and endothelial cells; "zebra bodies" in endothelial cells; and spindle-shaped bodies in Schwann cells.
  • (12) The steroid modulation of the aromatase might be related directly to the activation of sexual, aggressive, and nest-building behaviors, whereas the stable dimorphism in 5 alpha- and 5 beta-reductase observed in the nuclei of the song system might be one of the neurochemical bases of the sex differences in the vocal behavior of the zebra finch.
  • (13) This contrasts with the zebra finch, a species in which only the males sing: a considerably greater proportion of male zebra finch cells in HVc and MAN are labeled than in females.
  • (14) Ultrastructural examination of skin and liver demonstrated features compatible with Farber's disease: curvilinear and "banana" bodies, zebra-like structures, and concentric lamellar bodies.
  • (15) I'd heard the ankle is the most painful place to have a tattoo, but the place that hurt most was my arm, where I have a zebra.
  • (16) The neuromuscular junctions between the anterior and posterior latissimus dorsi muscles of the zebra finch were compared.
  • (17) A mutational analysis of ZEBRA supports a model for dimerization involving a coiled-coil interaction.
  • (18) The presence of larger amounts of zebra bodies in the type A case and of larger quantities of membrano-granulo-vacuolar inclusions in the type C case constitute probably a nondistinctive feature between the two types.
  • (19) Zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio) 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase and bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) ethylmorphine N-demethylase (EMND) were not greatly different from those of the former group.
  • (20) Electronmicroscopically, the sheaths contained multilaminated basement membrane-like material, collagen fibres 20-25 nm thick with a periodicity of 67 nm and broad-banded aggregates with a periodicity of 100 nm (zebra bodies or fibrous long-spacing fibres).
