Noma ngabe kukhulunywa ngokuphenduka kwezinto eziphilayo okusheshiswa ama-enzyme, amasu okuzala, noma ukukhetheka ngokomzimba kwezidalwa eziphilayo, izinhlelo zebhayoloji lapho ukuphila kuncike kuzo zizinhlelo ezisebenza konke ngasikhathi sinye noma azisebenzi nhlobo; zisebenza ngokuphelele kusukela ngosuku lokuqala zivumela ukuphila, noma ziyavimbela ukuphila uma kukhona amaphutha ohlelweni.
Amafalakunu adla izinyoni ezincane, ezibamba emoyeni ngesivinini esingafinyelela ku-300 km/hhora. Lokhu kudinga ukubona okucacile kanye nobuso bohlamvu lwamehlo obuhlala buhlanzekile futhi bumaniswe, ngisho nasekusheshini okuphezulu. Amafalakunu anelididi lesithathu lwamehlo, olubizwa ngokuthi i-nictitating membrane, ehamba kaningi futhi ngokushesha phezu kwekhornea. |
Umngcele ophambili we-membrane yoku-nktitata yamafalcon unefoldi yezicubu ezixhumanisayo ebizwa nge-
Umngcele ongaphambili wembambo yokuqukumbela yamafalcon unefolda yezicubu ezixhumanisayo ebizwa ngokuthi i-marginal plait. I-marginal plait inezakhiwo eziningi ezifana nezinwele ebusweni bayo ezaziwa ngokuthi ama-microvilli, asebenza njengendwangu yokuxubha yezinwele encane eqoqa ifilimu yamanzi emehlweni nezingxenye ezincane zokungcola bese ziyihlikihla ziye emgodini omkhulu (puncta), owudonsa emgudwini we-nasolacrimal.
Amafalcon aneglandu ekhethekile, i-Harderian gland, etholakala emgogodleni we-membrane yokuvala amehlo. Le glandu ekhethekile igcoba ungqimba lwamehlo ngesisombululo esinamathelayo kakhulu, esingashisi kalula, ukuze kuvinjelwe umoya ekubhidlizeni ifilimu yamanzi emehlweni.
Lezi zici ezikhethekile kakhulu zamehlo e-falcon, kanye nokubona okucacile ngokweqile nesivinini esikhulu, kumele zibe sezingeni eliphelele ukuze lezi zinonyana ziphile. Izici ezingakakhuli ngokuphelele ngeke zisebenze ezingeni elidingekayo ukuze lezi zinonyana ziphile, ngaleyo ndlela kuphikisana kakhulu nokuthi zakhiwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ngesinyathelo ngesinyathelo.
