Neuromechanical Analysis of Locust Jumping
The nervous systems of animals evolved to exert dynamic control of behavior in response to the needs of the animal and changing signals from the environment. To understand the mechanisms of dynamic control, we need a means of predicting how individual neural and body elements will interact to produce the performance of the entire system. We have developed a neuromechanical application named Ani...
متن کاملOntogenetic effects on aerobic and anaerobic metabolism during jumping in the American locust, Schistocerca americana.
Developing vertebrates increase both their locomotory power output and endurance due to ontogenetic improvements in anaerobic and aerobic metabolic capacities. Do similar patterns hold for insect locomotion, or do longer tracheal lengths create problems for oxygen delivery in older animals? We forced developing American locust grasshoppers (Schistocerca americana) to jump repeatedly and examine...
متن کاملThe Development of the Locust Jumping Mechanism I. Allometric Growth and Its Effect on Jumping Performance
1. The jump range of locusts of all instars varies throughout an instar, reaching a peak at apolysis in hoppers, and about 3 weeks after the final moult in adults. 2. Mature adult locusts have an escape jump range three times that of young hoppers. 3. During a period of repeated jumping, mature adults have an average jump range three times that of the hoppers. 4. Allometric growth of the metath...
متن کاملconsequence analysis of the leakage, ignition and explosion during high pressure sour gas injection process to the oil reservoir
there is no doubt that human being needs to become integrated with industry and industry needs to be progressed, daily. on the other hand, serious events in industrial units specially in oil industries has been shown that such damages and events are industry related ones. the consequence of such events and damages which resulted in chemical and poisoned explosions and loss of life and property ...
Distributions of nerve and muscle fibre types in locust jumping muscle.
Muscle fibres of the locust extensor tibiae (jumping muscle) were examined by interference microscopy and by electron microscopy. The electrical responses of single fibres and the mechanical responses of bundles or selected regions to the nerve fibres were examined. Four axons innervate the muscle: fast (FETi), slow (SETi), common inhibitor (CI) and dorsal unpaired median (DUMETi). Their distri...
