Pin feather protective peripheral sheath, longitudinal barb ridges, and growth plates. Over time these barb ridges lengthen helically, branch to create barbs and barbules, and fuse to form the rachis or central shaft. Moreover, the barb plate further differentiate into hooklets and cilia, while the marginal and axial plate die to form the intervening space within the feather structure. During moulting, a bird may get careless and begin to chew at its feathers and might accidentally damage a blood feather. To prevent this, it is necessary that the bird is given chewing toys so that it does not chew at its own
Rachis achieved pachytene and are attached to the walls of the gonadal tube. The rachis is filled with cytoplasm. In plants, a "rachis" is the main axis of a compound structure. It can be the main stem of a compound leaf, such as in "Acacia" or ferns, or the main, flower-bearing portion of an inflorescence above a supporting peduncle. A ripe head of wild-type wheat is easily shattered into dispersal units when touched or blown by the wind. A series of layers forms that divides the rachis into dispersal units consisting of a small group of flowers (a single spikelet) attached
