In many gastropod whose shells have varices, for example the Cassinae, the varix is essentially merely a thickening and swelling of the shell at that point.
32.
Thence along the edge of the gullet underneath the external varix are about a score of callus rays, alternately long and short, leading to the throat.
33.
Afterwards, the bodies of Varix and the Alpha Lanterns were interned in the Crypt of the Green Lantern Corps but were shown prior to their transformation into cyborgs.
34.
This is followed by a broad zone of chestnut-brown occupying about half the varix about a quarter of a turn behind the aperture on the body whorl.
35.
Behind the aperture, about a millemetre from the free edge, is a sharp, narrow varix rising gradually at the base and ending abruptly at the suture.
36.
One of the complications of cirrhosis is constriction and twisting of blood vessels ( varix ) due to portal hypertension, including esophageal varices, gastric varices, and intestinal varices.
37.
To deal with a ruptured varix, a band may be placed around the bleeding blood vessel, or a small amount of a clotting agent may be injected near the bleed.
38.
In other words, in gastropods whose shells have varices, the shells are characterised by episodic growth-the shell grows in spurts, and during the resting phase the varix forms.
39.
(Original description ) The shell consistsof eight varix is formed hy the thickening of the last rib, beyond which the outer lip is thin, white, and sharp-edged.
40.
The colour of the shell is slightly variable, the ground colour is light yellowish-brown, nearly plain or with darker flames and blotches, which are always present on the varix.
