Choanate

/koʊˈænət/ adjective

Definition

Having choanae (posterior nasal openings), describing animals that have this anatomical feature, particularly fish and tetrapods.

Etymology

From choana (funnel) + -ate (adjective suffix meaning having or characterized by), used in zoological classification.

Kelly Says

The evolution of choanate fish—creatures with proper nasal passages connecting to their throat—was a crucial step in the 375-million-year journey of fish becoming land animals, making this humble anatomical feature a gateway to your own existence!
