This stripe results from a layer of nerve-fibres, many of which are axones from the neurones of the lateral geniculate body and the pulvinar, the grey masses directly connected with the optic nerve-fibres.
In mammals this visual region of the cortex is distinguished in its microscopic features from the cortex elsewhere by a layer of myelinate nerve-fibres, many of which are the axones of neurones of the geniculate body and pulvinar.
Here the alar and basal laminae are both found, but the former is the more important; from it the optic thalami are derived, and more posteriorly the geniculate bodies.
From this geniculate body a number of neurones extend to the pallial portion of the cerebrum, for in the reptilian brain the pallium is present.
The portion of pallium connected with the lateral geniculate body lies above and behind the olfactory or archipallium.
The fourth glume is narrow with hyaline margins, with an awn 2 to 3 inches long; awn is hispid below, twisted and geniculateat and less hairy above the middle.
This is an annual with stems ascending from a prostrate orgeniculate base, glabrous and varying in length from 1 to 3 feet.
The stems are glabrous, creeping and somewhat prostrate at the base, and the upper portion is erect, 3 to 4 feet long, and rooting at the nodes in the geniculate portion of the stem.
This grass is an annual with stems erect or with a geniculate base, tufted, slender or stout; some of the lower nodes of the geniculate part of the stems bear roots; the internodes are green or purple tinged and glabrous.
The central point of insertion has a somewhat shorter radial distance from the centre of the body than the two nodal points on both ends of the tangential tube, so that the latter is somewhat geniculate (figs.
They are straight, cylindrical, twice to four times as long as the shell, geniculate at the inflated base, and covered with small thorns.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "geniculate" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: akimbo; angular; bent; cornered; crooked; forked; furcate; hooked; jagged; pointed; serrate; sharp; zigzag
