ACEPHALOUS

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 135 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: A10-ADA
ACEPHALOUS , headless, whether literally or metaphorically, leaderless. The word is used literally in
biology
 ; and metaphorically in prosody or
grammar
  for a
verse
  or sentence with a beginning wanting. In
zoology
 , the mollusca are divided into cephalous and acephalous (Acephala), according as they have or have not an organized
part
  of their anatomy as the seat of the brain and
special
  senses. The Acephala, or Lamellibranchiata (q.v.), are commonly known as bivalve shell-
fish
 . In botany the word is used for ovaries not terminating in a stigma. Acephalocyst is the name given by R. T. H. Laennec to the hydatid, immattire or larval tapeworm.
