Fovea?

[Longbord1]

does anyone now the soul purpose of the fovea for those that don'y know it is that little hole in the carapace. is it used forletting carbondioxide out?

 

[deifiler]

Carbon dioxide is diffused via the booklungs located in the abdomen

The fovea is a point where various muscles and other parts meet on the inside of the cephalothorax Speculation has it the Ceratogyrus genus has a horn to extend this area...

does that mean that the horned species are stronget and if u were to stick a needle half way in there would ur t freak out

No it'd probably whip out it's mini-T-stereo, whack on some Stevie Wonder and start to do the spider-jive to release the excitment of being mutilated. (Oh the potentials caligula can have with that one)

I don't know if it does mean they are stronger in this sense; the foveal is merely the area they connect at. Unless the muscles/mechanics are increased I doubt it would be, in a sense it'd be like a person having huge bones for the muscles to reside around. I don't know, though I'm pretty sure the answer is out there... I'll do some research tomorow

As was said earlier, the soul (sic) purpose of the fovea is as an attachment point for the internal musculature of the T. MostCeratogyrus ssp. have a "foveal protuberance" (horn) while just about everything else has a "foveal depression" (groove). The orientation of the foveal protuberance or depression is a valuable taxonomic tool. As was also stated, Carbon Dioxide is dispersed through the book lungs much as Oxygen is "inhaled" Breathing in T's is passive. There is no hole in the carapace.

If someone stuck a dagger in your spine would you freak out?

thanx for clearing that up and being not so harsh about that pin thing.
