Definitions

1. Setae are hair-like structures that are used to filter plankton and other particulate matter from the water column, which are then scraped into their mouth.
2. Setae are as varied in form and function as appendages. (Web site)
3. Setae are used to grip the soil, to hold the animal in a tube, or to increase the surface areas of appendages for swimming. (Web site)
4. Setae are rigid bristles made of compacted hyphae that are sometimes found at the mouth of the peridium.
5. Setae are mainly composed of beta-keratin which may have some modality of aggregation similar to that of barbs and barbules of feathers. (Web site)

Species

1. The junior author (Berge) namely thought that the whirl of setae around the maxilliped of this species looked like this monk's hair ring.

Fruiting Body

1. SETAE - stiff, often pointed, erect hyphae which protrude from a fertile layer or fruiting body and may have a protective function.

Statocyst

1. The statocyst has only two parts - the setae and the statolith.

Plankton

1. Porcelain crabs have enlarged chelae but feed on plankton that they catch using specialized mouthparts called setae.

Flowing Water

1. Porcelain crab species have feeding appendages covered with setae to filter food particles from the flowing water.

Hairs

1. Setae in entomology are often called hairs. (Web site)
2. These hairs are fine setae (bristles) with fragile bases and a row of barbs on the tip. (Web site)

Polychaetes

1. The setae of some polychaetes, e.g., the tropical fireworm, are composed of calcium carbonate rather than chitin and are hollow. (Web site)

Body Segments

1. Setae: Superficially hair-like structures along body segments in arthropods; when especially dense, these can give the animal a furry appearance.

Appendages

1. They also filter feed, extracting living plankton from the sea on fine setae and other appendages.

Annelids

1. Most annelids possess short external bristles called setae, or chaetae, composed of chitin. (Web site)
2. All annelids except leeches also have chitonous hair-like structures, called setae, projecting from their cuticle. (Web site)

Bristle

1. Seta (plural: setae) is a biological term derived from the Latin word for " bristle ". (Web site)

Bristles

1. Their setae (chaetae) or "bristles" are generally few in number and they lack the parapodia of the polychaeta.
2. These worms usually have few setae (chaetae) or "bristles" on the outer body surface, and lack parapodia, unlike polychaeta. (Web site)
3. Significantly, it is also found in the radular "teeth" of molluscs, the setae (bristles) and jaws of annelid worms, and the cell walls of Fungi. (Web site)

Setae

1. In most forms they also carry a varying number of bristles, called setae, and among the polychaetes a pair of appendages, called parapodia.
2. Tarantulas are long-legged, long-living spiders, whose entire body is covered with short glittery hairs called setae.
3. The cuticle can have setae (bristles) growing from special cells in the epidermis. (Web site)
