Silwane

Silwane tinemaseli lamanyenti, tilwane letine-eukaryotic embusweni wetintfo letiphilako i-Animalia. Ngaphandle kwetilwane letimbalwa, tilwane tidla tintfo letiphilako, tiphefumula umoya-mpilo, tinema myocytes futsi tiyakhona kuhamba, tingazala ngekwelicansi, futsi tikhule kusuka endzaweni lenembobo yemaseli, iblastula, ngesikhatsi sekutfutfuka kwembungu. Tilwane takha i-clade, lokusho kutsi tavela kukhokho munye lovamile. Tinhlobo tetilwane letiphilako letingetulu kwetigidzi letingu 1.5 setichaziwe, lapho khona leticishe tibe tigidzi letingu 1.05 tinambuzane, letingetulu kwa 85,000 tiyi molluscs, kantsi leticishe tibe ngu 65,000 tilwane letinemgogodla. Kulinganiselwe kutsi kunetinhlobo tetilwane letingafika kutigidzi letingu-7.77 eMhlabeni. Budze bemtimba wetilwane busuka ku 8.5 μm (0.00033 in) kuya ku 33.6 m (110 ft). Tinetindzawo letiyinkimbinkimbi kanye nekusebentisana kanye netindzawo tato, takha emawebhu ekudla layinkimbinkimbi. Kufundza ngetilwane ngekwesayensi kwatiwa ngekutsi yi-zoology, kantsi kufundza ngekutiphatsa kwetilwane kwatiwa ngekutsi yi-ethology.
