Front leg cleaning movements are directed to the head whereas the hind legs clean the abdomen, wings, and thoraces.
The exit site was clean, and the abdomen was diffusely tender to palpation.
For example, flies with clean heads and abdomens, but dirty wings and thoraces, focused on cleaning their wings.
For example, when Seeds et al. covered a fly with dust and activated its abdomen-grooming module at the same time, the fly cleaned its eyes, antennae and abdomen, but never cleaned its wings and thorax.
For example, when a fly carrying a GAL4 driver that activates abdominal cleaning (R24B03) was stimulated in the presence of whole-body dust, it first cleaned the head, then abdomen (just as wild-type flies do), but then persisted in cleaning its abdomen instead of proceeding to its wings and thorax.
Specific example 1: "For example, when a fly carrying a GAL4 driver that activates abdominal cleaning (R24B03) was stimulated in the presence of whole-body dust, it first cleaned the head, then abdomen (just as wild-type flies do), but then persisted in cleaning its abdomen instead of proceeding to its wings and thorax".
The abdomen was cleaned, and the liver was packed with five pre-weighed laparotomy sponges to oppress the bleeding and collect re-bleeding blood loss.
The abdomen was cleaned with 70% ethanol, the abdominal skin was carefully dissected without opening the peritoneum, and 5 ml of Hanks' medium adjusted to pH 7.4 was injected intraperitoneally.
The exterior of the fish was wiped clean with 70% ethanol, the abdomen was opened at the ventral midline and the whole intestine was aseptically removed from the abdominal cavity.
Planned relaparotomy was performed every 36 to 48 hours until the abdomen was macroscopically clean at the beginning of the final relaparotomy.
