Induced segmental reorganization in sabellid worms.
Processes of regeneration and reorganization are analyzed in two sabellid polychaetes. Abdominal pieces of Branchiomma nigromaculata, during head regeneration, ordinarily reorganize only a fraction of the number of segments typical of the thorax. In pieces transected in the vertical plane, but obliquely with regard to the main axis of the worm, the extent of reorganization is greatly enhanced. ...
متن کاملSomite polarity and segmental patterning of the peripheral nervous system
The analysis of the outgrowth pattern of spinal axons in the chick embryo has shown that somites are polarized into anterior and posterior halves. This polarity dictates the segmental development of the peripheral nervous system: migrating neural crest cells and outgrowing spinal axons traverse exclusively the anterior halves of the somite-derived sclerotomes, ensuring a proper register between...
متن کاملVelvet worms
What is a velvet worm? Velvet worms are terrestrial, soft-bodied, many-legged carnivores. They form the phylum Onychophora (‘claw bearers’ — each of their many limbs terminates in paired claws). Velvet worms range in size from around 10 millimetres long to relative giants in excess of 20 centimetres, and known species have between 13 and 43 pairs of stubby limbs termed lobopods. Unlike arthropo...
متن کاملThe Effect of Using PRAAT Software on Pre-Intermediate EFL Learners’ Supra Segmental Features
The present study investigated the effect of using PRAAT as a free computer software package for the scientific analysis of speech in phonetics on pre-intermediate Iranian English as foreign language (EFL) learners’ supra segmental features (i.e., intonation and stress). The design of the study was a Quasi-experimental research design with a pre and post-test. In doing so...
متن کاملOrigin of segmental identity in the development of the leech nervous system.
The leech embryo develops its segmental body plan by means of a stereotyped cell lineage. Each hemilateral segment arises from a small set of embryonic blast cells via a comparable sequence of formative cell divisions, and for the most part, lineally homologous cells manifest similar patterns of differentiation in the various hemisegments. Nonetheless, some identified central neurons undergo se...
