The Structure of Insect Fibrillar Flight Muscle
The fine structure of fibrillar flight muscle of the mature adult beetle Tenebrio molitor is described. Although the very high frequency of contraction of fibrillar muscle has previously been in part accounted for as the result of mechanical specialization of the wing-bearing segment rather than of a correspondingly high rate of motor impulse supply, the problem of the nature of the pathway by ...
متن کاملDephosphorylation of nucleotides by insect flight muscle.
Recent studies have demonstrated that nucleotide triphosphates, other than ATP,’ function in biological systems in a manner analogous to that of ATP. These purine and pyrimidine ribotides are now, known to serve as coenzymes in the biosynthesis and interconversion of hexose phosphates (l-3)) in the formation of phospholipides (4)) and as phosphate donors or acceptors in carboxylation reactions ...
متن کاملPower and efficiency of insect flight muscle.
The efficiency and mechanical power output of insect flight muscle have been estimated from a study of hovering flight. The maximum power output, calculated from the muscle properties, is adequate for the aerodynamic power requirements. However, the power output is insufficient to oscillate the wing mass as well unless there is good elastic storage of the inertial energy, and this is consistent...
متن کاملEnergy scavenging from insect flight
This paper reports the design, fabrication and testing of an energy scavenger that generates power from the wing motion of a Green June Beetle (Cotinis nitida) during its tethered flight. The generator utilizes non-resonant piezoelectric bimorphs operated in the d31 bending mode to convert mechanical vibrations of a beetle into electrical output. The available deflection, force, and power outpu...
متن کاملThe Structure of Flight Muscle Sarcosomes in the Blowfly Calliphora Erythrocephala (diptera)
The electron microscopic structure of sectioned indirect flight muscle fibers of the blowfly Calliphora is described. Particular attention is paid to the organization of the sarcosomes (mitochondria) of this tissue, and this description is accompanied by an account of the appearance of these bodies in negatively stained preparations. In sectioned material, it has been shown that these sarcosome...
