Cuticular

In the University of Toronto Mississauga laboratory, Professor Joel Levine's team genetically tweaked fruit flies so that they didn't produce certain pheromones, called cuticular hydrocarbon pheromones. ❋ Unknown (2009)

While previous studies had suggested that pheromones played an important role, Levine's team decided to genetically eliminate a certain class of these chemicals, called cuticular hydrocarbon pheromones, to determine their particular effect. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In red mange the whole integument is in a state of acute inflammation; surfeit, or blotches, a kind of cuticular eruption breaks out on particular parts of the body without the slightest notice, and, worse than all, a direct febrile attack, with swelling and ulceration, occurs, under which the dog evidently suffers peculiar heat and pain. ❋ William Youatt (1811)

It seems as if a change, which endures through life, had been produced in the action, or disposition to action, in the vessels of the skin; and it is remarkable, too, that whether this change has been effected by the smallpox or the cow-pox that the disposition to sudden cuticular inflammation is the same on the application of variolous matter. ❋ Unknown (2005)

The dorsal conic spine-like structures could be a homology of cuticular spicules of polyplacophorans and aplacophorans. ❋ Unknown (2005)

And they can use that task-specific odor in cuticular hydrocarbons -- they can use that in their brief antennal contacts to somehow keep track of the rate at which they're meeting ants of certain tasks. ❋ Unknown (2003)

The large degree of complexity, which is far more than that displayed in the cuticular pattern of the fly larva, allows a much broader spectrum of organs and tissues to be investigated, but it also poses considerable demands on the skill and expertise of the experimenter. ❋ Unknown (1995)

However, many mutations could not be recovered by the scoring of the cuticular pattern only. ❋ Unknown (1995)

Candelilla, another cuticular wax, is obtained by boiling the stems of a wild shrub found in Mexican deserts. ❋ Unknown (1985)

In reference to the second assumption that the cuticular tissues of cereal straws, of esparto, of the bamboo, owe their special properties to siliceous components, it has been shown by direct experiment upon the former that their rigidity and resistance to water are in no way affected by cultivation in a silica-free medium. ❋ C.

The left portion is lined with a cuticular mucous membrane, and the right portion with a glandular mucous membrane that has in it the glands that secrete the gastric juice. ❋ R. A. Craig (N/A)

_ -- The cuticular lining is limited to the first cavity or compartment. ❋ Various (N/A)

The mucous membrane of the gullet had no true epidermic covering, and in this respect differed remarkably from the first gastric compartment, from which a cuticular lining could be peeled off, as strong as that from the sole of the foot in man. ❋ Various (N/A)

It ascends in the substance of the parotid gland, behind the temporomandibular articulation, pierces the cartilaginous or bony wall of the external acoustic meatus, and supplies its cuticular lining and the outer surface of the tympanic membrane. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The superficial, horny part of the nail consists of a greatly thickened stratum lucidum, the stratum corneum forming merely the thin cuticular fold (eponychium) which overlaps the lunula; the deeper part consists of the stratum mucosum. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The free ends of the inner hair cells are encircled by a cuticular membrane which is fixed to the heads of the inner rods. ❋ Unknown (1918)

It extends from the heads of the outer rods of Corti to the external row of the outer hair cells, and is formed by several rows of “minute fiddle-shaped cuticular structures, ” called phalanges, between which are circular apertures containing the free ends of the hair cells. ❋ Unknown (1918)
