Caudal Fin
Fins are distinctive anatomical features composed of bony spines or rays protruding from the body of a fish. They are covered with skin and joined together either in a webbed fashion, as seen in most bony fish, or similar to a flipper, as seen in sharks. Apart from the tail or caudal fin, fish fins have no direct connection with the spine and are supported only by muscles. Their principal function is to help the fish swim. Fins located in different places on the fish serve different purposes such as moving forward, turning, keeping an upright position or stopping. Most fish use fins when swimming, flying fish use pectoral fins for gliding, and frogfish use them for crawling. Fins can also be used for other purposes; male sharks and mosquitofish use a modified fin to deliver sperm, thresher sharks use their caudal fin to stun prey, reef stonefish have spines in their dorsal fins that inject venom, anglerfish use the first spine of their dorsal fin like a fishing rod to lu ...

Anne-Lise Caudal
Anne-Lise Caudal (born 26 June 1984) is a French professional golfer. Caudal has won two tournaments on the Ladies European Tour, the 2008 Ladies Open of Portugal and the 2012 Ladies German Open, where she beat Laura Davies in a playoff. She also finished runner-up at the 2008 Tenerife Ladies Open after losing a playoff to Rebecca Hudson, and at the 2009 European Nations Cup, representing France together with Gwladys Nocera. An opening round of 69 at the 2010 Women's British Open had her tied for third spot, one stroke behind Katherine Hull and tournament winner Yani Tseng, before finishing tied 31st, her best result at a major.

Caudal Cell Mass
In humans and other mammals, the caudal cell mass (also tail bud or caudal eminence in humans) is the aggregate of undifferentiated cells at the caudal end on the spine. The caudal end of the spinal cord first begins to form after primary neurulation has taken place, indicating that it develops after the cranial portion of the spinal cord has developed. Following neurulation, the caudal tail begins to form a neurocele as it develops a hollow core. After this, secondary neurulation occurs in which the medullary cord begins to form and is filled with many cavities that ultimately form the lumen. The cavities formed from the initial and secondary neurulation combine to form one uninterrupted cavity. There is still speculation on the formation of the caudal cell mass in humans with arguments being made for it arising from many cavities or the continuing growth of the neurocele from the initial neurulation. The caudal cell mass will ultimately differentiate and form into many sacral st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Caudal Hills
The Caudal Hills () are a group of hills situated within Victoria Land, Antarctica the hills lie between the Sequence Hills and the Lichen Hills on the western margin of upper Rennick Glacier. A series of spurs "tail" out to the north, hence the name " Caudal". They were so named by the northern party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1962–63. The Caudal Hills lies situated on the Pennell Coast Pennell Coast is that portion of the coast of Antarctica between Cape Williams and Cape Adare. To the west of Cape Williams lies Oates Coast, and to the east and south of Cape Adare lies Borchgrevink Coast.

Caudal Vertebrae
The spinal column, a defining synapomorphy shared by nearly all vertebrates,Hagfish are believed to have secondarily lost their spinal column is a moderately flexible series of vertebrae (singular vertebra), each constituting a characteristic irregular bone whose complex structure is composed primarily of bone, and secondarily of hyaline cartilage. They show variation in the proportion contributed by these two tissue types; such variations correlate on one hand with the cerebral/caudal rank (i.e., location within the backbone), and on the other with phylogenetic differences among the vertebrate taxa. The basic configuration of a vertebra varies, but the bone is its ''body'', with the central part of the body constituting the ''centrum''. The upper (closer to) and lower (further from), respectively, the cranium and its central nervous system surfaces of the vertebra body support attachment to the intervertebral discs. The posterior part of a vertebra forms a vertebral arch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Caudal (anatomical Term)
Standard anatomical terms of location are used to unambiguously describe the anatomy of animals, including humans. The terms, typically derived from Latin or Greek language, Greek roots, describe something in its standard anatomical position. This position provides a definition of what is at the front ("anterior"), behind ("posterior") and so on. As part of defining and describing terms, the body is described through the use of anatomical planes and anatomical axis, anatomical axes. The meaning of terms that are used can change depending on whether an organism is bipedal or quadrupedal. Additionally, for some animals such as invertebrates, some terms may not have any meaning at all; for example, an animal that is radially symmetrical will have no anterior surface, but can still have a description that a part is close to the middle ("proximal") or further from the middle ("distal"). International organisations have determined vocabularies that are often used as standard vocabular ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Caudal Artery
The Caudal artery is the portion of the dorsal aorta of a vertebrate that passes into the tail. It is analogous to the median sacral artery The median sacral artery (or middle sacral artery) is a small artery that arises posterior to the abdominal aorta and superior to its bifurcation.

Caudal (protein)
The Cdx protein family is a group of the transcription factor proteins which bind to DNA to regulate the expression of genes. In particular this family of proteins can regulate the Hox genes. They are regulators of embryonic development and hematopoiesis in vertebrates, and are also involved in the development of some types of gastrointestinal cancers and leukemias. Cdx proteins Humans have three genes (CDX1, CDX2, and CDX4) that encode the caudal proteins: * Cdx1 protein * Cdx2 protein *Cdx4 protein The human Cdx2 family protein has 94% identity with the mouse Cdx2 and the hamster Cdx3. Cdx proteins and regulation of Hox gene expression Cdx proteins are key regulators of Hox genes. The vertebrate Cdx proteins act upstream of Hox genes. Cdx genes integrate the posteriorizing signals from retinoic acid and Wnt canonical pathways and relay this information to Hox promoters. Expression in mouse embryo Cdx2 expression begins at 3.5 days and is confined to the trophectoderm, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
