The tentacle side branches are known as tentilla, which in the case of Euplokamis are held tightly in coils except during the act of prey capture. [12] Further, the widely spaced tentillia droplets allow for organisms to be classified to the genus level and are one of the only examples of striated muscle found in ctenophores. [13]

Technologically advanced adhesive devices sometimes make use of microstructures on surfaces, such as tightly packed periodic posts. These are biomimetic technologies inspired by the adhesive abilities of the feet of various arthropods and vertebrates (most notably, geckos). By intermixing periodic breaks into smooth, adhesive surfaces, the ...
Freycinetia marginata is an evergreen root climber with a stem diameter of up to 3 cm (1.2 in), which is held tightly to its support substrate by numerous adventitious roots. [4] [5] The leaves have fine longitudinal veins and are green with a purplish hue. They are long and strap like, measuring up to 150 cm (59 in) long by 8 cm (3.1 in) wide ...
Leaves are 1–3 cm (0.39–1.18 in) in length, twice pinnately divided, usually segmented into 3 lobes and sometimes 4. Flowers are tubular, pink with a yellow tip, 1–1.7 cm (0.39–0.67 in) long, grouped into dangling clusters. Seeds are black and shiny, about 1 mm (0.039 in) wide, held tightly together in long thin cylindrical pods.
A thesaurus (pl.: thesauri or thesauruses), sometimes called a synonym dictionary or dictionary of synonyms, is a reference work which arranges words by their meanings (or in simpler terms, a book where one can find different words with similar meanings to other words), [1] [2] sometimes as a hierarchy of broader and narrower terms, sometimes simply as lists of synonyms and antonyms.
In phonetics and phonology, a palatal stop is a type of consonantal sound, made with the body of the tongue in contact with the hard palate (hence palatal), held tightly enough to block the passage of air (hence a stop consonant). A stop consonant made with the tip of the tongue curled back against the palate is called a retroflex stop.
