Pleurosome

Pleurosome: what is it and how does it work?

Pleurosoma is the body of some animal species that helps them move and navigate in space. The name "pleurosome" comes from the Greek words "pleura" (side, side, rib) and "soma" (body).

In animals with a pleurosome, this body is located on the lateral side. It consists of a series of rigid plates called somites, which are connected by flexible membranes. This design makes the pleurosome very flexible and allows it to bend in different directions.

The pleurosome is used for the movement of the animal. It can bend and flex to allow the animal to turn and maneuver. Some animal species use pleurosoma to swim in water or crawl on land.

In addition, the pleurosome helps animals navigate in space. It contains many receptors that help the animal sense its position and movement. These receptors can detect changes in the position and direction of the pleurosome and transmit this information to the animal's brain.

The pleurosome is found in a variety of animal species, including worms, crustaceans, molluscs, fish, and some mammals. Each type of pleurosome has its own characteristics and performs its own functions.

Overall, the pleurosome is an amazing structure that allows animals to move, navigate, and survive in their habitats. Studying it can help scientists better understand the nature and evolution of animals, as well as apply this knowledge in various fields, such as biotechnology and robotics.

Pleurosima is a term used in botany and zoologists, meaning a special kind of structure that arises from the fusion of vegetative and generative organs of plants, mostly scattered throughout the stem. This term was introduced by the German scientist Hans Holzmann, who first discovered and described these formations in lower representatives of brown algae, and then studied them in more detail in plant communities of all types and at any stage of development. Thanks to the properties discovered behind this phenomenon, he made conclusions that shed light on many questions of plant physiology. These structures are walls, or membranes, similar to the plasma membrane, delimiting one or several cellular areas isolated from the internal environment of the stem within one organism. They can be separated from the stem, that is, formed in a free floating state on or inside membranes, but their walls are firmly connected to the entire stem, being under the constant influence of its metabolic processes. Normally, with any age-related or physiological change in the stem or even its individual segment (branch, leaf), such isolated areas neither expand nor die - they can only divide in different ways or self-destruct. In other words, these are structures highly specialized in their functions, which are also at different stages of homeostatic regulation. All manifestations of membrane biology and cytology appear here. One or more isolated from the vegetative cell type (those that perform
