The portion of the digestive tract between the stomach and anus; it is the region where most of the nutrients and absorbed.
Industry:Biology
In birds and reptiles, the maintaining of a constant temperature during the development of the embryo. Birds incubate their eggs by sitting on them (also called brooding),while other animals, like crocodiles, bury their eggs in organic matter. If eggs are not incubated, the embryos within those eggs generally die. Some dinosaurs may have incubated their eggs by burial in sediment, in organic matter, or by brooding like birds.
Industry:Biology
The organization and arrangement of tissue (“histo” is from the Greek word for tissue). Since eggshell is a tissue, eggshell histostructure describes the two- and three-dimensional organization of mineral crystals and shell components.
Industry:Biology
That part of the body at the "front" end, where the brain, mouth, and most sensory organs are located.
Industry:Biology
Body cavity formed between the mouth and anus in which food is digested and nutrients absorbed; it consists of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, intestine, and anus, though some animals do not have all these regions.
Industry:Biology
The expanded and hardened base of the appendage of many arthropods, notably trilobites, crustaceans, and marine cheliceramorphs. Used to macerate food items before ingestion.
Industry:Biology
A slitlike or porelike opening connecting the pharynx of a chordate with the outside of the body. Gill slits may contain the gills and be used for gas exchange, as in most fish, but may also be used for filter-feeding, or may be highly modified in land-dwelling vertebrates.
Industry:Biology
Stiffenings which support the flesh between the gill slits of chordates. In most vertebrates, the first gill arches have been modified to form the jaw, and in tetrapods, the inner ear bones.
