tubercle Explanation: - Control females and juvenile males and females exhibit no tubercle development (Jensen et al. 2001). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2021-01-12 23:02:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Tubercle [in animal] When it is used in relation to certain dorid nudibranchs such as Peltodoris nobilis, it means the nodules on the dorsum of the animal. The tubercles in nudibranchs can present themselves in different ways: each tubercle in a single, rounded, conical or angular form, in a compound form of 2 or more levels, tubercles in amalgamated clusters or as tubercles forming, or joined by a ridge. Tubercles found on the leading edge of humpback whale's flippers were demonstrated to improve fluid flow over the flipper's surface, exhibiting the tubercle effect of fluid dynamics.[1] Skin impression from the abdomen of the duck-billed dinosaur Edmontosaurus annectens, showing tubercular scales In dinosaurs, a tubercle is a general term for the scales seen in skin impressions. In duck-billed dinosaurs, for example, three main types of tubercles are defined: small tubercles with no definite arrangement (ground tubercles); larger, polygonal tubercles (pavement tubercles) up to 1 cm (0.4 in) in diameter, which are grouped into clusters separated by ground tubercles; and limpet-shaped conical scutes.[2] -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2021-01-12 23:02:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubercle -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2021-01-13 01:36:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.thefreedictionary.com/tubercle |
