English term or phrase: alinasal cartilage
Termenul descrie o componenta de fiziologie la elefanti. Iata contextul:
"New evidence suggests that another organ, high in the trunk and known as the alinasal cartilage, may also modify sounds. This cartilage divides the bony opening where the trunk begins (the external nares) and can be used to direct the flow of air. The loud trumpeting of elephants is used mainly when they are excited, surprised, about to attack, or interacting in play."
