Desan, Pant Henri THE ORGANIZATION OF THE CEREBRAL CORTEX OF THE POND TURTLE, PSEUDEMYS SCRIPTA ELEGANS
The cerebral cortex of the turtle Pseudemys scripta elegans consists of five areas, L, D2, D1, DM and M, forming narrow strips curving in parallel around the hemisphere. The cell types of the cortex were studied with the Golgi method in areas D1 and D2. The principle cell type possesses a soma in the cellular layer, spiny apical and basal dendrites, and a local axon aborization as well as long-...
متن کاملPartitioning of body fluids and cardiovascular responses to circulatory hypovolaemia in the turtle, Pseudemys scripta elegans.
Investigations were conducted (1) to measure the steady state compartmentation of body fluids and (2) to assess the efficacy of blood volume and pressure maintenance during haemorrhage-induced hypovolaemia in the pond turtle, Pseudemys scripta elegans. The pre-haemorrhage blood volume, as determined by tracer dilution of 51Cr-labelled erythrocytes, averaged 6.89 +/- 0.33% of the body mass, and ...
متن کاملCharacterization of angiotensin pressor responses in the turtle Pseudemys scripta.
Studies were conducted in turtles (Pseudemys scripta) to characterize vascular responses to administration of exogenous angiotensin [Asp1-Ile5]angiotensin II (AII). Marked pressor responses were present following AII administration (2 microgram/kg iv). The pressor response was completely blocked by concomitant administration of an analogue of AII, [Sar1-Ile8]AII. Both alpha-receptor blockade wi...
متن کاملShort Communication Compartmentation of Liver Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase in the Aquatic Turtle Pseudemys Scripta Elegans: a Reassessment
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) catalyses the conversion of oxaloacetate to pyruvate in the first step of gluconeogenesis. Since oxaloacetate is impermeable to the inner mitochondrial membrane, the localisation of PEPCK within the cell plays a major role in defining substrate preferences for gluconeogenesis. As a result, the immunochemically distinct isoenzymes of PEPCK found within t...
متن کاملTectoreticular pathways in the turtle, Pseudemys scripta. I. Morphology of tectoreticular axons.
Tectoreticular projections in turtles were examined by reconstructing from serial sections axons that were anterogradely filled with horseradish peroxidase after tectal injections. Three tectoreticular pathways each contain extensively collateralized axons. The crossed dorsal pathway (TBd) contains large and small caliber axons. After leaving the tectum, TBd axons emit collaterals into the ipsi...
