adhesive disc

The abdomen often has adhesive discs on the last two segments.

Now about nine days old, they attach themselves to the substrate with an adhesive disc.

The ventral adhesive disc bears either three or four rows of alveoli.

I. Functional organization of the adhesive discs.

Similar glands in tree frogs produce a glue-like substance on the adhesive discs of the feet.

It has large feet with the fingertips expanded into flat adhesive discs and the digits fully webbed.

On the posterior end of the sac-like body is a stalk with an adhesive disc, which attaches itself to the host.

During bioelectric therapy, several small, flat rubber adhesive discs (called electrodes) are applied to your skin at prescribed areas to be treated.

The limbs are short and stumpy and the fingers and toes lack webbing and adhesive discs.

The parasite attaches to the epithelium by a ventral adhesive disc, and reproduces via binary fission.

In the class Turbellaria, only the species of the order Temnocephalida are parasitic and possess an adhesive disc.

The synapomorphies of genus Giardia include cells with duplicate organelles, absence of cytostomes, and ventral adhesive disc.

The pollen are arranged in a structure named Pollinia which are attached to a glandular, adhesive disc at the stigmatic angle (Translator Mechanism).

Under a normal compound light microscope, Giardia often looks like a "clown face," with two nuclei outlined by adhesive discs above dark median bodies that form the "mouth."

They are benthic fish with pelvic fins modified to form an adhesive disc; this nearly circular disc is absent in Paraliparis and Nectoliparis species.

If you use the supplied adhesive disc to attach Phlash to the side of your phone opposite its camera button, you can fire camera and flash together with a simple squeeze.

Gonionemus is a genus of hydrozoan that uses adhesive discs near the middle of each tentacle to attach to eelgrass, sea lettuce or various types of algae instead of swimming.

Synapomorphies of the trematodes are presence of a Laurer's Canal, a posterior sucker (transformed to an adhesive disc in the Aspidogastrea), and life cycles involving molluscs and vertebrates.

The "sucker" part refers to the fish's modified pelvic fins, which have evolved into adhesive discs (located ventrally, behind the pectoral fins); the fish use these discs to adhere to the substrate.

Anatomically, temnocephalidans can be distinguished from related groups by the presence of an adhesive disc on the underside for attachment to the host, and of a number of finger-like projections arising from the head.

The white suckerfish or mantasucker, Remorina albescens, is a species of remora in the family Echeneidae, a group of elongate marine fish with adhesive discs for attaching to larger organisms.

In many orchids, such as Orchis mascula, the pollinia or pollen masses, are connected by stipes down to adhesive discs attached to the rostellum which forms cups keeping the discs or balls sticky.

Charles Darwin described in Fertilisation of Orchids how he "touched the antennæ of C. callosum whilst holding the flower at about a yard's distance from the window, and the pollinium hit the pane of glass, and adhered to the smooth vertical surface by its adhesive disc."
