PURPOSE This study aims to complement the authors' prior findings on palisade endings in extraocular muscles (EOMs) of monkeys, and to clarify whether palisade endings are cholinergic motor or cholinergic sensory. METHODS Macaque monkeys (Macaca fascicularis, n = 10) of both sexes were analyzed using three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and conven...

El principal problema que se plantea en este campo terapéutico es la escasez de órganos para ser trasplantados, pues a pesar de políticas muy activas para fomentar la donación de órganos, son...

Adults and male genitalia of all examined species are illustrated, together with a distributional map. A key to all seven Chinese Andraca species is provided. The types of the new species are deposited in SCAU (South China A...

The frequency of contraction of the bell of Gonionemus was studied in relation to temperature, with intact animals and also where different operations were made on the nervous system. A number of values of micro are found for intact animals namely 8,100+/-, 10,500+/-, 32,000+/- and 22,500+/-, with critical temperatures at 9.6 degrees , 12.3 degrees , and 14.0 degrees . Four different classes of...
