membranaceous

adjective mɛmbrəˈneɪʃəsˌmɛmbrəˈneɪʃəs

membraneous

adjective mɛmˈbreɪnɪəs

Anatomy Zoology

- Cucullus also shares some features with Sinospongia: both have a membraneous, tubular or sac-like construction.

membranous

adjective ˈmɛmbrənəsˈmɛmbrənəs

Anatomy Zoology

Example sentencesExamples
