Other researchers have suggested, based on a cladistic analyses of dorsal exoskeletal features, that Eodiscina and Agnostida are closely united, and that the Eodiscina descended from the trilobite order Ptychopariida.

But with a few striking exceptions, such as Xavante and Tahitian-which have no dorsal consonants whatsoever-nearly all other languages have at least one velar consonant: the few languages that do not have a simple usually have a consonant that is very similar.

Individual whales are typically identified using photographs of their dorsal surface and matching the scars and patches associated with parasites that have fallen off the whale or are still attached.

C. alleganiensis have flat bodies and heads, with beady dorsal eyes and slimy skin.

Female residents characteristically have rounded dorsal fin tips that terminate in a sharp corner.

Sensory neurons have axons that run from the toes to the dorsal columns, over 1. 5 meters in adults.

The outer ( dorsal ) branches of the limbs ( exopods ) have flattened side branches ( setae ) on the shaft ( probably acting as gills ).

All nociceptors are free nerve endings that have their cell bodies outside the spinal column in the dorsal root ganglia and are named according to their appearance at their sensory ends.

Most species have a dorsal fin.

All invertebrates with well developed brains, like insects, spiders and squids have a ventral rather than dorsal system of ganglions, with a split brain stem running on each side of the mouth / gut.

In the literature, dorsal and ventral striatum have been virtually equalized with the distinction between the caudate-putamen complex ( dorsal ) and the nucleus accumbens ( ventral ), respectively.

Crocodiles have smooth skin on their bellies and sides, while their dorsal surfaces are armoured with large osteoderms.

He was so impressed by her and her friend Elizabeth Philpot that he wrote in his journal: " Miss Philpot and Mary Anning have been able to show me with utter certainty which are the icthyodorulites dorsal fins of sharks that correspond to different types.

In contrast to the model based on functional morphology described earlier, in the Epitheliozoa concept the ventral and dorsal cell layers of the Placozoa are homologs of endoderm and ectoderm, the two basic embryonic cell layers of the eumetazoans — the digestive gastrodermis in the Cnidaria or the gut epithelium in the bilaterally symmetrical Bilateria may have developed from endoderm, whereas ectoderm is, among other things, the precursor to the external skin layer ( epidermis ).

Sharks, for example, have no dorsal ribs, and only very short ventral ribs, while lampreys have no ribs at all.

Tetrapods, however, only ever have a single set of ribs which are probably homologous with the dorsal ribs of fishes.

Based on its dorsal fin and the shape of its head, some ( such as Bernard Heuvelmans ) have suggested that the animal was some sort of marine mammal.

Coelacanths have 8 fins – 2 dorsal fins, 2 pectoral fins, 2 pelvic fins, 1 anal fin, and 1 caudal fin.

Some species have small bumps, known as tubercles, on the leading edge of the dorsal fin.

The more anterior dorsal fin is much harder and appears to have spines on them.
