Übersetzung für "Vibrissae" in Deutsch

The cat has vibrissae on many parts of the body:

Vibrissae are very sensitive and may recognize minimal air movements.

Vibrissae belong to the primary sensory organs.

And you also hear – and see - what the animals use their long whiskers (Vibrissae) for.

Has anyone ever raised the question, that eye brows are tactile hairs, what is called vibrissae?

Vibrissae can be found above the eye brows, as whiskers and on the backside of the front legs.

Why does the cat need vibrissae?

In the mid-1950s, some scientists interpreted the foramina (passages) in the maxillae (upper jaws) and premaxillae (small bones in front of the maxillae) of cynodonts as channels that supplied blood vessels and nerves to vibrissae (whiskers) and suggested that this was evidence of hair or fur.

The cat receives detailed information about its surrounding via the vibrissae, also when the vision is impaired or in darkness.

Now they found that thanks to these extremely sensitive whiskers, or vibrissae, seals can discern important information that helps them hunt for fish – even from a single circular vortex in the water.

Manatees are, in fact, half blind and much better at investigating their surroundings with their vibrissae, the coarse hairs growing from their wrinkled snouts.

It is worth noting that the body can also observe vibrissae, although in many cases they may be absent.

But those mocking and discussing people have not informed themselves about one simple thing, that experiments with animals, whose eyes had been removed, have shown very clearly that the whiskers and vibrissae substituted quasi the sense of vision - of course, such experiments with animals shall be rejected sharply.

The whiskers of the cat are vibrissae, which are relatively long, essentially thicker than the hairs of the coat and which are stiffer.

In a study on a new design for sensors, mechatronics researchers at Jeju National University in South Korea are exploring how the role of vibrissae – whiskers – can be transferred to underwater robots to improve their control, navigational, and object recognition abilities.

It was proofed in experiments that vibrissae substitute the eyes of the cat, if the eyes loose their function - see the literature.
