Excitatory and inhibitory activity in the dorsal musculature of the nematode Ascaris evoked by single dorsal excitatory motonerons.
A physiological preparation, in which identified motoneurons of the nematode Ascaris lumbricoides can be individually stimulated, was used to map the response evoked by single dorsal excitatory (DE) motoneurons in muscle cells innervated along the length of the dorsal nerve cord. As previously reported (Walrond, J. P., I. S. Kaas, A. O. W. Stretton, and J. E. Donmoyer (1985) J. Neurosci. 5: 1-8...
متن کاملPathway of formation of alpha-methylvalerate by Ascaris lumbricoides.
Ascaris lumbricoides is a parasitic intestinal helminth whose metabolism is predominantly anaerobic in the adult stage (1). This organism converts carbohydrate to succinate (2) and a mixture of volatile acids (3, 4). Quantitatively, the major fermentation products are succinate, a-methylbutyrate, and a Cg acid. Saz and Vidrine (5) have demonstrated that succinate is formed by means of COZ fixat...
متن کاملUltrastructure of Somatic Muscle Cells in Ascaris Lumbricoides
Somatic muscle cells of Ascaris lumbricoides consist of three differently specialized components referred to as the fiber, which contains the contractile apparatus (described previously), the belly, and the arm. The belly is shown to be a sac of glycogen, which is depleted during starvation of the animal. The arm extends to a nerve cord where it establishes a myoneural junction characterized by...
متن کاملEnzyme Localization in the Anaerobic Mitochondria of Ascaris Lumbricoides
Mitochondria from the muscle of the parasitic nematode Ascaris lumbricoides var. suum function anaerobically in electron transport-associated phosphorylations under physiological conditions. These helminth organelles have been fractionated into inner and outer membrane, matrix, and intermembrane space fractions. The distributions of enzyme systems were determined and compared with corresponding...
متن کاملEffects of Black Scorpion Androctonus crasicuda Venom on Striated Muscle Preparation in vitro.
Effects of venom from black scorpion Androctonus crasicuda (AC) were determined on isolated chick biventer cervices nerve-muscle and mouse hemidiaphragm preparations using twitch tension method. The isolated nerves were stimulated by electrical stimulator and response to each stimulus was recorded. The venom mainly acted prejunctionally to facilitate neuromuscular activity due to an increase in...
