The presence of ciliary structures in the rhabdomeric eyes and ciliary as well as rhabdomeric opsins in the eye of the onychophoran E. kanangrensis supports the suggestion by Salvini-Plawen (2008) that photoreceptors evolved from dermal photosensitive cells that possessed both types of opsins and cellular enlargement structures.
Changes in the nasal septum or the enlargement of structures necessary for airflow, warming and filtration can have an enormous impact on breathing.
Ice-binding proteins (IBPs) bind to ice crystals and control their structure, enlargement, and melting, thereby helping their host organisms to avoid injuries associated with ice growth.
Effect of different pre-treatment procedures on fibres' supramolecular structure, enlargement of their pore system, surface topography, zeta potential and mechanical properties was investigated.
(A plant's leaves may grow larger, but its seed pods develop, and are not just an enlargement of a structure that was already present in the seedling plant).
The enlargement of LV structure and the decline of cardiac ejection function reveal heart lesions.
Additionally, enlargement in leaf structure of 4x was observed by anatomical analysis (Additional files 3 and 4).
However, the thickness of the metal coating in one case, and the tip convolution effect on the other, may equally result in an artifactual enlargement of the structures, so that the beads may be significantly smaller.
