The Vietnamese word "dây sống" refers to a biological term that translates to "notochord" in English. It is a structure found in the embryos of all chordates, which are a large group of animals that includes vertebrates (like mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish) as well as some invertebrate species.

Explanation:
  • Basic Meaning: "Dây sống" describes the flexible, rod-like structure made of cells that provides support and shape to the developing embryo. It plays a crucial role in the development of the spinal cord and other structures in the organism.
Usage Instructions:
  • You will often encounter "dây sống" in biology or zoology contexts, especially when discussing the development of animals.
Example:
  • In a sentence, you might say: "Trong giai đoạn đầu của sự phát triển, tất cả các động vật dây sống đều một dây sống." (In the early stages of development, all chordate animals have a notochord.)
Advanced Usage:
  • In advanced discussions, you might see "dây sống" used in comparative anatomy, where scientists compare the developmental stages of different chordates to understand evolutionary relationships.
Word Variants:
  • The term "dây sống" can be combined with other words to form phrases such as "dây sống cổ" (cervical notochord) or "dây sống phôi" (embryonic notochord).
Different Meanings:
  • While "dây sống" primarily refers to the notochord, it can also be used more broadly in a biological context to discuss structures that provide support in different organisms, but this is less common.
Synonyms:
  • A synonym for "dây sống" in a more general sense might be "cột sống" (spinal column), though this specifically refers to the vertebral column in adult vertebrates rather than the embryonic notochord.
