coxal

All legs have a strongly prolonged and free coxal segment.

It is the strongest of the coxal bones.

Mesocoxae separated by less than shortest diameter of coxal cavity.

The coxal suture is absent in many insects.

In addition, it has been suggested that number and size of coxal pores may be variables affecting centipede water balance.

The coxal process is situated at the ventral extremity of the pleural sulcus.

Malpighian tubules and a pair of coxal glands make up the excretory system.

The response depends on continuous excitatory discharge to the coxal adductor muscles by only one or two neurons.

In some species (such as Pseudanapis parocula) the pedipalps of the female are reduced to coxal stumps.

Coxal vesicles are pouches located on the belly side of the leg, which can be everted and probably serve in water absorption.

The coxal gland is a gland found in some arthropods, for collecting and excreting urine.

The coxal gland is thought to be homologous with the antennal gland of crustaceans.

The special characteristics include the dispersed openings of coxal glands of the last pair of legs.

The coxa is attached to the body by an articular membrane, the coxal corium, which surrounds its base.

It terminates in the wing process above, the coxal process below, and often bears an inwardly projecting pleural arm.

The legs have coxal glands, four complete and spiny pads and the feet have two papillae.

The coxal glands are excretory organs that lie in the prosoma, and open to the outside at the coxae of the walking legs.

The pleural articular surface of the coxa is borne on a mesal inflection of the coxal wall.

During feeding, any excess fluid is excreted by the coxal glands, a process which is unique to argasid ticks.

Their coxal plates are more reduced with more robust peropods adapted to clinging and walking than that of free-floating stegocephalids.

Oxygen uptake occurs to an extent via simple diffusion through the entire body surface, with the coxal vesicles on the legs possibly being involved in some species.

The secretions from the coxal sacs then form the seminal fluid into a spermatophore which is then transferred to the cyphopods of the female during mating.

The excretory system consists of two pairs of coxal glands connected to a bladder that opens near the base of the last pair of walking legs.

On the first four body segments are four very large, non-overlapping, and deep coxal plates, forming a sort of skirt on the front half of the body.
