overlaping each other
The scales on the trunk and tail of a perch are arranged in overlapping rows that run diagonally along the body. These scales are known as cycloid scales, which are round or oval-shaped with smooth edges. The scales on the trunk are larger and more prominent compared to those on the tail, providing protection and flexibility for the fish as it moves through the water.
The posterior end of each scale covers the anterior end of the next scale.
The epidermal exoskeleton of the alligator consists of oblong horney scales, arranged in transverse rows; the long axes of the scales are parallel to that of the body. On the tail, except along the mid-dorsal line, and on the ventral side of the trunk and head these scales are very regular in outline and arrangement; on the sides of the head and trunk and on the legs they are much smaller and less regularly arranged, while along the mid-dorsal line of the tail, especially in its posterior half, they are elevated into tall keels that give the tail a large surface area for swimming. The first three digits of both manus (fore foot) and pes (hind foot) are armed with horny claws, which also belong to the epidermal part of the exoskeleton.

A tree trunk is a composite structure that is made up of different types of tissues, such as xylem and phloem, arranged in a specific pattern. It is not a compound element or a mix of elements, but rather a complex combination of multiple biological components.
A tree with multiple trunks, also known as a multi-trunk tree, has several main stems growing from the ground. This type of tree differs from a tree with a single trunk, which has only one main stem. Multi-trunk trees often have a more bushy or spreading appearance, while single-trunk trees typically have a more upright and singular shape.
No, in England a truck is mostly referred to as a Lorry. The term 'boot' is commonly used to describe the trunk of a car. A boot can also be used to describe someone being fired or sacked.
A bough is a large, main branch of a tree, typically extending from the trunk and supporting smaller branches and leaves. Boughs are important for the structural support and growth of the tree, as well as providing a place for birds and other animals to perch or nest.
Pine trees, such as Pinus, have a conical shape with a single, dominant main trunk that supports thick branches arranged in whorls. Their needle-like leaves are clustered in bundles called fascicles. The cones of Pinus trees are woody and typically hang downward.
