What's the difference between scutellum and thoracic?
Scutellum
Definition:
(n.) A rounded apothecium having an elevated rim formed of the proper thallus, the fructification of certain lichens.
(n.) The third of the four pieces forming the upper part of a thoracic segment of an insect. It follows the scutum, and is followed by the small postscutellum; a scutella. See Thorax.
(n.) One of the transverse scales on the tarsi and toes of birds; a scutella.

(20) In situ hybridization showed localization of the 1.1-kilobase rice lectin mRNA in root caps and specific cell layers of the radicle, coleorhiza, scutellum, and coleoptile.
Thoracic
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the thorax, or chest.
(n.) One of a group of fishes having the ventral fins placed beneath the thorax or beneath the pectorial fins.
Example Sentences:
(1) Recently, the validity of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) standards for selection of spirometric test results has been questioned based on the finding of inverse dependence of FEV1 on effort.

(6) It was considered worthwhile to report this case due to the problems which arose concerning the choice of a thoracic rather than abdominal route owing to the impossibility of associating cardiomyotomy with anti-reflux plastica surgery because of the reduced dimensions of the stomach.
