Around the cell body are short sensory projections called the dendrons. The fine branches of dendrons are called the dendrites. These short fibres receive messages and pass them on to the cell body or the cyton. The messages from the cyton are carried away by the long axon which end..

Movement involves musculature of the body wall and structures called setae. Setae are hard horny, chitinous structures embedded in the body wall in small pits. About 1/3 of the length of each setae projects out of the surface of the skin. The setae are arranged in the form of a ring in ev..

It is a portion of the large intestine that is not very well developed in man. It is more developed in cattle and other ruminants to accommodate the bacteria that digest the cellulose. In man, it shows a small projection called the appendix. The infection of appendix is called appendicit..

are structures located on the surface of the tongue. They are embedded in the mucosa of the papillae of the tongue. The papillae are projections on the upper surface of the tongue. Each papillae may contain from few to a hundred taste buds and the surface of the tongue may have up to 10..

It is a simple fleshy fruit. It develops from a syncarpous inferior ovary having axile placentation. The pericarp is differentiated into outer thick, leathery epicarp having a number of oil glands, the middle white, spongy mesocarp closely attached to the inner side of the epicarp and the inner me..

The epidermis usually forms projections known as epidermal hairs. In the root, the epidermal hairs are unicellular and are called as root hairs. The root hairs penetrate between the soil particles to absorb water. In the stem and the leaf, the epidermal hairs are multicellular and a..
