Denticles are also present on the teeth of varanoid lizards, sharks, and mammals. tooth.TIF| Dromaeosauridae tooth with small denticles along the cutting edge. Scale bars are 1 mm. tooth.jpg| Ankylosaurus tooth with large denticles. [findwords.info]
Its implementation is based on analysing how often the term «denticle» appears in digitalised printed sources in English between the year 1500 and the present day. [educalingo.com]
Overall the denticles are poorly preserved or present as basal sections. The veins branch 2-4 times, with a vein-terminal entering each marginal denticle of the leaf. [dictionary.cambridge.org]
Lang will present the findings this week at the American Physical Society March Meeting in Boston. More on these topics: environment animals [newscientist.com]
This is a major issue because we do not have sufficient data that tells us about shark communities in the past nor present. Without this knowledge, we cannot analyze how humans have impacted shark communities near reefs. [oceanchangereuucsb.com]
Entire Body System
- Falling
Fall at the Aquarium is an exciting time, especially because of the exhibit viewing opportunities that are afforded with fewer visitors in the building. [neaq.org]
I have seen the unornamented ones referred to another myliobatoid ray, Rhombodus laevis, but it has been suggested that the tiny crown surrounding enamel denticle dots may simply fall off easily, making all of them Brachyrhizodus wichitaensis. [thefossilforum.com]
In addition, maintaining the nanowire structures without the fall-off under the deformation can be attributed to the flexible micro-scale structures on the substrate 29. [nature.com]

- Small Teeth
Susy stirred suddenly, rasping Jim's side with the dermal denticles, which, like small teeth rather than scales, studded her skin. [findwords.info]
Neurologic
- Confusion
Other authors including Cappetta & Case (1975) have instead tentatively referred the ornamented type to Rhombodus laevis, so there obviously is some confusion. [thefossilforum.com]
Not to be confused with the tiny teeth upon a snail’s radula. translucent —a membrane or shell through which light can pass. transparent —a shell through which the internal organs can be seen. tubercles/tubercular —on a snail’s body, a surface pattern [carnegiemnh.org]
Prevention
Such closely-spaced grooves appear to reduce drag by preventing eddies from coming in contact with the surface of a moving body. [elasmo-research.org]
By studying the flow of water over shark skin in the lab, Lang saw that the loose denticles prevent this flow separation happening by bristling up in the swirling water. “It’s entirely passive, and happens in about 0.2 milliseconds,” she says. [newscientist.com]
• It may help prevent parasites and other organisms, such as barnacles and algae, from settling on the shark’s body. 3) Common name: Nurse shark Scientific name: Ginglymostoma cirratum Shark family: Ginglymostomatidae IUCN status: Data Deficient Habitat [saveourseas.com]
Also called the nuclear whorl. epiphragm —a membrane of dried mucus formed across the aperture of a snail shell, it helps to prevent dessication when the snails is inactive for long periods. foot —the muscular organ whose contractions propel a land snail [carnegiemnh.org]
Second, the spanwise curvature of the denticles helps to generate streamwise vortices that can lead to drag reduction and prevent lift losses at higher angles of attack. [royalsocietypublishing.org]
