Biochemical and Morphological Aspects of Salivary Glands of the Predator Brontocoris tabidus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)
The aim of this work was to study the feeding habits of the predator Brontocoris tabidus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) analyzing the salivary gland complex (SGC). The SGC was dissected and subjected to histological analyses and biochemical assays. Results showed that a pair of bilobed principal salivary glands and one pair of tubular accessory salivary glands form the SGC and different parts of s...
متن کاملSalivary Glands in Predatory Mollusks: Evolutionary Considerations
Many marine mollusks attain or increase their predatory efficiency using complex chemical secretions, which are often produced and delivered through specialized anatomical structures of the foregut. The secretions produced in venom glands of Conus snails and allies have been extensively studied, revealing an amazing chemical diversity of small, highly constrained neuropeptides, whose characteri...
متن کاملThe vagina. Morphological, functional and ecological aspects.
The vagina is one organ of the body which has not been studied exhaustively. Moreover, most of the studies found in the contemporary literature have been performed on women affected by a variety of genital diseases. In the present study the vaginal epithelium was examined with a histological method, morphometry, whereby cyclical changes related to hormonal variation during the menstrual cycle w...
متن کاملGross Morphological Studies on Major Salivary Glands of Prenatal Buffalo
Gross morphological study was conducted on the major salivary glands of 42 buffalo foetuses ranging from 73 to 253 days. The mandibular gland was the largest salivary gland during the prenatal life. Dense compact lobulation of the parotid and mandibular glands was observed first at 155 days of foetal age. The mandibular gland was covered by the confluence of linguo-facial, occipital and maxilla...
متن کاملEvolutionary aspects of self- and world consciousness in vertebrates
Although most aspects of world and self-consciousness are inherently subjective, neuroscience studies in humans and non-human animals provide correlational and causative indices of specific links between brain activity and representation of the self and the world. In this article we review neuroanatomic, neurophysiological and neuropsychological data supporting the hypothesis that different lev...
