Meaning of "zygantra" in English

Zygantra refers to anatomical structures found in certain animals, primarily reptiles. These structures serve as articulations, helping to connect vertebrae, providing stability and flexibility to the spine. Zygantra play an essential role in the movement and function of the vertebral column by allowing controlled motion while maintaining structural integrity. Their presence can be crucial for understanding the mechanics of an animal's movement and adaptability, particularly in evolutionary biology studies. The term itself is derived from Greek roots, emphasizing its technical application in paleontology and anatomy.

Meaning of "zygantra" in French

In French, "zygantra" refers to the same anatomical features found in certain reptiles, serving as joint structures between vertebrae. These structures facilitate the connection and articulation of vertebrae, crucial for stability and motion. Zygantra ensure that the spine maintains its structural robustness while allowing the necessary movement needed for locomotion and other functional activities. In paleontological contexts, zygantra are significant for examining vertebrate evolution and adaptability, reflecting similar technical and scientific utility as in English.
