Studies of cardio-regulation in the cockroach, Periplaneta americana.
The circulation of haemolymph in insects is maintained by a system of muscular pumps and fibromuscular septa. The most important muscular pump is the dorsal vessel which collects blood from the abdominal cavity and discharges it into the head. In cockroaches the dorsal vessel is a straight tube comprising the 'heart' in the abdominal and thoracic segments and narrowing to form the aorta in the ...
متن کاملDiscontinuous gas exchange in insects.
Insect respiratory physiology has been studied for many years, and interest in this area of insect biology has become revitalized recently for a number of reasons. Technical advances have greatly improved the precision, accuracy and ease with which gas exchange can be measured in insects. This has made it possible to go beyond classic models such as lepidopteran pupae and examine a far greater ...
متن کاملRegulation of Ions in the Haemolymph of the Cockroach Periplaneta Americana during Dehydration and Rehydration
Experiments using Na-uptake and serial sampling techniques showed that during dehydration Na was taken up by the fat body in adult Periplaneta americana, but not in nymphs. Generally, accumulation of Na in the fat body was highest in animals which had little reserve lipid and in those which excreted the smallest amounts of Na during the dehydration period. Dehydration caused little change in th...

background : cockroaches have been recognized as a powerful indoor allergen. cockroach allergy can be a major factor in serious asthma and nasal allergy. bioinformatics tools have been developed to identify potential allergens. the present study was conducted to identify potential allergens in periplaneta americana (linnaeus). methods : the study focused on the identification of potential all...
متن کاملEvidence of poly(ADP-ribosylation) in the cockroach Periplaneta americana.
Poly(ADP-ribosylation) is a post-translational modification of nuclear proteins typical of most eukaryotic cells. This process participates in DNA replication and repair and is mainly regulated by two enzymes, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, which is responsible for the synthesis of polymers of ADP-ribose, and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase, which performs polymer degradation. The aim of this wor...
