feathers (animal components) (animal components, biological components, ... Components (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: The component structures of the outer covering and flight surfaces of all modern birds and some dinosaurs, apparently having evolved from the scales of reptilian ancestors. The many different types of feathers are variously specialized for insulation, flight, formation of body contours, display, and sensory reception. The typical feather consists of a central shaft (rachis), with serial paired branches (barbs) forming a flattened, usually curved surface (the vane). The barbs possess further branches, the barbules. |

Dutch ..... De onderdelen van het kleed en de vleugels van alle moderne vogels en sommige dinosauriërs. Veren hebben zich waarschijnlijk ontwikkeld uit de schubben van voorouderlijke reptielen. Er bestaan veel verschillende soorten veren, die bijvoorbeeld worden gebruikt als isolatie, om te vliegen, voor het vormen van lichaamscontouren, als vertoon of zintuiglijke ervaring. Doorgaans bestaat een veer uit een centrale schacht (rachis) met rijen gepaarde vertakkingen (baarden) die een vlak, vaak gekromd oppervlak vormen (de vlaggen). De baarden hebben zelf nog verdere vertakkingen, kleine baardjes. |
