How to use "Striation" in context?
The striations on a butterfly's wings are a result of the flexing and relaxing of the wings' stiffened epidermis (skin). The very fine wrinkles in the skin are the result of the numerous collagen microfibers that make up the wing's tough fabric. These striations are also seen on the backs of human hands and feet, where the tough skin is stretched over numerous bone ridges.
