Cherry angioma, also called cherry hemangioma [1] or Campbell de Morgan Spot, [2] is a small bright red dome-shaped bump on the skin. [3] It ranges between 0.5 – 6 mm in diameter and usually several are present, typically on the chest and arms, and increasing in number with age.
A petechia (/ p ɪ ˈ t iː k i ə /; [1] pl.: petechiae) is a small red or purple spot (≤4 mm in diameter) that can appear on the skin, conjunctiva, retina, and mucous membranes which is caused by haemorrhage of capillaries. [2] [3] The word is derived from Italian petecchia 'freckle', of obscure origin. [1]
Most other mammals are currently thought to be dichromats, with only two types of cone (though limited trichromacy is possible at low light levels where the rods and cones are both active). [5] Most studies of carnivores, as of other mammals, reveal dichromacy ; examples include the domestic dog , the ferret , and the spotted hyena .
Tetrachromacy is demonstrated among several species of birds, [2] fishes, [3] and reptiles. [3] The common ancestor of all vertebrates was a tetrachromat, but a common ancestor of mammals lost two of its four kinds of cone cell, evolving dichromacy, a loss ascribed to the conjectured nocturnal bottleneck. Some primates then later evolved a ...
The larvae, commonly called chiggers, are about 170–210 μm (0.007–0.008 in) in diameter, normally light red in color, and covered in hairs; they move quickly relative to size. The larvae congregate in groups on small clods of soil, in matted vegetation, and even on low bushes and plants, where they have more access to prospective hosts.
Step Three: Remove Streaks. Combine one part vinegar and one part water in a bowl. Dampen a clean microfiber cloth with the mixture and apply it to the glass, wiping it down well for a streak-free ...
Piebaldism has been documented to occur in all races, and is found in nearly every species of mammal. The condition is very common in mice, rabbits, dogs, sheep, deer, cattle and horses—where selective breeding has increased the incidence of the mutation—but occurs among chimpanzees and other primates only as rarely as among humans.
Reddish lesions at first then enlarges and becomes white to light brown in the centre. Circular and varying in size. Can appear concentric with red margins. Leaf spot on most cereals and grasses, field crops, vegetables, ornamentals, and trees. Myrothecium roridum: Target-like spots with light brown centres and dark circumference on Gardenia ...
