carn,-i,-o carnivore, carnage • flesh
Anencephaly is a cephalic disorder that results from a neural tube defect that occurs when the cephalic (head) end of the neural tube fails to close, usually between the 23rd and 26th day of pregnancy, resulting in the absence of a major portion of the brain, skull, and scalp. Infants with this disorder are born without a forebrain, the largest part of the brain consisting mainly of the cerebral hemispheres (which include the isocortex, which is responsible for higher level cognition, i.e., thinking). The remaining brain tissue is often exposed - not covered by bone or skin. Infants born with anencephaly are usually blind, deaf, unconscious, and unable to feel pain. Some with anencephaly live a few hours or days but not much longer.
Cephalopods (meaning "head foot") are mollusks with tentacles and a large head. They move by squirting water through a siphon, a type of jet propulsion. Oxygenated water is taken into the mantle cavity to the gills and through muscular contraction of this cavity, the spent water is expelled through the hyponome, created by a fold in the mantle. Motion of the cephalopods is usually backward as water is forced out anteriorly through the hyponome,
The hyponome is the organ used by cephalopods for locomotion. It is a muscular funnel or siphon into which water is drawn. The hyponome expands and then contracts, sending a jet of water rushing out. This jet propels the cephalopod backward, but it can control its direction of movement by pointing the hyponome in different directions.
