Biophysics of underwater hearing in anuran amphibians.
A standing wave tube apparatus was used to determine the biophysical basis of underwater hearing sensitivity in 3 species of Rana and in Xenopus laevis. A speaker inside the base of a vertical, water-filled 3 m steel pipe produced standing waves. Pressure and particle motion were measured with a hydrophone and geophone respectively and were spatially 90 degrees out of phase along the length of ...
متن کاملRenal handling of urea in Rana catesbeiana.
LONG, WILLIAM SCOTT. Renal handing of urea in Rana catesbeiana. Am. J. Physiol. 224(Z) : 482-490. 1973.-The processes involved in renal urea excretion in the bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) were studied by clearance, tissue, and micropuncture methods. According to micropuncture data with urea-14C and inulin-3H, secretion of urea against a concentration gradient from plasma to tubular fluid occurs a...
متن کاملGlomerular permeability in the bullfrog Rana catesbeiana
Filtration studies suggest similar size pores in the glomerular filters of mammals and amphibians. However, the glomerular wall in the bullfrog exhibits several structural features not found in mammals. The subendothelial space of the basement membrane is often greatly enlarged and infiltrated by cellular elements. The lamina densa of the basement membrane shows extensive variation in thickness...
متن کاملPteridine Metabolism in the Skin of the Tadpole, Rana Catesbeiana.
The apparent structural similarity between purines and pteridines has been the subject of a number of studies attempting to demonstrate a relationship between these compounds in living systems. That a relationship does, in fact, exist has been shown, not only by purine incorporation into a pteridine (l-3), but also by the ability of at least one organism (Alcaligines fuecalis) to degrade a pter...
متن کاملOntogeny of heart rate regulation in the bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana.
Heart rate (fH) at 20-23 degrees C was recorded in six different developmental stages of the bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana (n = 104, body mass 40 mg to 90 g), at rest after normoxic acclimation, during acute changes in O2 availability, and after brief but intense activity. The effects of cholinergic blockade and combined cholinergic and beta-adrenergic blockade on the response to this experimental...
