What's the difference between umbilicate and umbo?
Umbilicate
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Umbilicated

(11) DNA of cytomegalovirus (CMV) was examined in 131 placentae and 28 umbilical blood specimens by DNA-DNA hybridization.
(12) The Authors report the results of IgM and IgA assays in blood of the umbilical cord of 1694 newborns during the period from October 1973 to July 1974 after a rubella epidemic occurred in Piedmont.
(13) At operation a patent left umbilical artery was partially obstructing the distal left ureter.
(14) The levels of oestrogens and progesterone were greater (P less than 0.05) in the umbilical vein than umbilical artery, indicating the endocrine function of the placenta.
(15) We studied techniques to accurately quantify the adherence of L-[35S]methionine-labeled Candida albicans to human umbilical vein endothelial cells in a 96-well microtiter plate system while avoiding specific problems related to Candida coadherence and avid binding to plastic.
(16) In each rabbit, a single fetal sac was opened, the umbilical vessels were cannulated and the placenta was perfused in situ with buffered Krebs solution containing Dextran.
(17) C1-inhibitor (C1-inh) is synthesised and secreted by at least four cell types: hepatocytes, mononuclear phagocytes, fibroblasts and umbilical vein endothelial cells.
(18) The helical structure of the human umbilical cord has been studied on 528 full-term cords from normal deliveries, 18 cords from aborted and developmentally normal fetuses with a CR length of 1.2-19.5 cm, 10 cords from monozygotic twins.
(19) Atenolol concentration varied 3- to 6-fold between individuals, but there was no systematic difference between maternal and umbilical levels.
(20) This study suggests that restitution of amniotic fluid volume in human pregnancies complicated by severe oligohydramnios does not acutely alter the umbilical artery PI.
Umbo
Definition:
(n.) The boss of a shield, at or near the middle, and usually projecting, sometimes in a sharp spike.
(n.) A boss, or rounded elevation, or a corresponding depression, in a palate, disk, or membrane; as, the umbo in the integument of the larvae of echinoderms or in the tympanic membrane of the ear.
(n.) One of the lateral prominence just above the hinge of a bivalve shell.
Example Sentences:
(1) The position, displacement and phase angle of the rotation axis of the ossicles was calculated based on the displacement and phase angle of the umbo, malleus head and lenticular process.
(2) The bending will also affect the displacements transmitted to the ossicular load, and introduce significant errors into estimates of such displacements based on measurements of umbo displacement even at frequencies as low as a few kHz.
(3) The umbo region may represent the center of superficially radial dispersion.
(4) The epithelial migration center was found at the region of umbo, manubrium, and the short process of the malleus.
(5) It is demonstrated that the rotation angels can not account for the measured movement of the umbo, which leads to the conclusion that for static high pressure levels the classical hypothesis of rotation around a fixed axis has to be abandoned.
(6) There is a small area we have termed the "slow zone", located anterior and inferior to the umbo, that has comparatively fewer patches and where ink dots can remain static for several weeks.
(7) This attachment is most intimate at the level of the umbo and becomes progressively more tenuous as the short process is approached.
(8) It is shown further that a linear relationship between umbo displacement and volume displacement exists.
(9) The acoustically estimated "drum location" generally lay between the optically determined vertical planes containing the TOD and the umbo.
(10) The displacement of the umbo is compared to other work.
(11) All of the modifications (except the perforation) had a minimal effect on umbo displacement; this seems to imply that the pars flaccida has a minor acoustic role in human beings.
(12) Due to the gliding movement in the malleus-incus joint, this motion changes at the umbo into outward rotation, counteracting the tensor tympani muscle.
(13) When the motion is rotational the position of the axis of rotation shifts with frequency, the shifts are so large that the axis can lie near the umbo so that amplitudes at the processus lateralis are larger than at the umbo.
(14) The umbo moved piston-like at 0.1-0.8 kHz and 2.6-4.5 kHz but in an ellipse at 1.0-2.4 kHz.
