Pleuron
Definition:
(n.) One of the sides of an animal.
(n.) One of the lateral pieces of a somite of an insect.
(n.) One of lateral processes of a somite of a crustacean.
Example Sentences:
Sclerite
Definition:
(n.) A hard chitinous or calcareous process or corpuscle, especially a spicule of the Alcyonaria.
Example Sentences:
(1) Caminacarus terrapenae differs from the above species by the form of the dorsal shield which extends more anteriorly but lacks anterior winglike elongations and has rounded anterolateral margins, the posteriorly concave shape of the genital sclerite and more sclerotized vaginal wall, the anterodorsal wall of the gnathosomal base which is not ringlike but open with lateral sclerotizations and interior punctations in this species, and structure of the tarsal setae with the presence of smaller heavier setae.
(2) Sclerite cuticle that was untreated prior to normal EM preparative procedures was compared to cuticle subjected to lipid solvents, high temperature, and concentrated alkali.
(3) The muscle consists of three parts: the upper bundle, which originates on the episternum, and the middle and lower bundles, which originate on the epimeron; all three parts insert on the tip of a projection from the third axillary sclerite.
(4) Monocotyle helicophallus new species is characterized by several muscular genital papillae, one of which is traversed by the ejaculatory duct; M. spiremae new species is distinguished by a sclerotized accessory structure associated with the distal end of the male copulatory organ, a vaginal sclerite and a conspicuous spherical, ejaculatory bulb; M. multiparous new species is distinguished by a large number of retained, thin-shelled eggs, many of which contain a fully developed oncomiracidium.
(5) Pauciconfibula subsolana is differentiated from other species in the genus by the 2 posterolateral clamp sclerites, each of which is composed of 2 distinct sections, and by the absence of appendages on the eggs.
(6) The organization of intersegmental muscle fibers associated with the dorsal abdominal sclerites of the cockroach is described.
(7) The structure of the sclerite and intersegmental cuticle of the opithosoma of the desert scorpion, Hadrurus arizonensis, has been examined by transmission electron microscopy.
(8) The shape and position of the third axillary sclerite within the wing hinge are such that its primary function appears to be remotion of the wing.
(9) The surface of the sclerite cuticle contains amorphous particles, crystalline projections, and scattered openings to dermal gland ducts.
(10) The more sclerotized exoskeletal elements, such as integumentary scales and the body sclerites together with their setae and sensilla, were highlighted by staining with carbol fuchsin.
(11) The sclerite cuticle contains a four-layered epicuticle, a hyaline exocuticle, an inner exocuticle and an endocuticle.
(12) Electron microscopy reveals that hyaline exocuticle, previously assumed to be continuous from sclerite to intersegmental membrane, is absent in the latter.
(13) The domus has the appearance of two filaments with the light microscope but with the electron microscope these are seen to be the thickened edges of a single gutter-shaped sclerite.
(14) However, wax canals are likely obscured by surface waxes similar to those present in sclerite cuticle.
(15) differs from two other subgenera both in the shape of the apron itself and in the shape of the postgenital sclerite and setae of perigenital area.
(16) The former species is very similar to Caminacarus deirochelys but differs in the form of the dorsal shield which has longer lateral elongations and the median dorsal elongation does not extend to the genital sclerite, structure of the anterodorsal wall of the gnathosomal base which is closed forming a ringlike apodeme, and structure of the tarsal setae as well as the presence of one additional seta on the dorsal surface of tarsus III.
(17) In detail, its fine structure differs in most respects from that of the sclerite cuticle.
(18) The nature of the sclerites, too, is primarily carried by the anlagen rather than determined by intersegmental information.
(19) In the shape of male's genital apparatus, protruding to the outside of terminal sclerite, structures helping both partners to contact during copulation were discerned.
(20) from Epinephelus guttatus of Puerto Rico differs from all known species in possessing scoop-shaped accessory sclerites with pointed tips.
