Plutonium and Americium in the Cephalopod Octopus vulgaris
Radiotracer experiments using the photon-emitters 2 3 7 ~ and 2 4 1 ~ m were performed to examine uptake, tissue distribution and retention of plutonium and americium in the cephalopod Octopus vulgaris Cuvier. A 2 wk exposure in contaminated sea water resulted in twice as much 2 3 7 P ~ being taken up by whole octopus as 2 4 1 ~ m . Immediately following uptake approximately 41 % and 73 % of th...
متن کاملA multilevel approach to examining cephalopod growth using Octopus pallidus as a model.
Many aspects of octopus growth dynamics are poorly understood, particularly in relation to sub-adult or adult growth, muscle fibre dynamics and repro-somatic investment. The growth of 5 month old Octopus pallidus cultured in the laboratory was investigated under three temperature regimes over a 12 week period: seasonally increasing temperatures (14-18°C); seasonally decreasing temperatures (18-...
متن کاملThe Importance of Vascular Elasticity in the Circulatory System of the Cephalopod Octopus Vulgaris
The passive mechanical properties of the dorsal aorta and the vena cava of Octopus vulgaris were investigated in vitro. Both vessels are highly distensible structures that exhibit non-linear elasticity, but have substantially different material properties. The volume compliance of each vessel is maximal within the resting physiological pressure range (2-3 kPa in the aorta and 0-0.5 kPa in the v...
متن کاملNerve degeneration and regeneration in the cephalopod mollusc Octopus vulgaris: the case of the pallial nerve
Regeneration is a process that restores structure and function of tissues damaged by injury or disease. In mammals complete regeneration is often unsuccessful, while most of the low phyla animals can re-grow many parts of their body after amputation. Cephalopod molluscs, and in particular Octopus vulgaris, are well known for their capacity to regenerate their arms and other body parts, includin...
متن کاملPerfused Gills Reveal Fundamental Principles of pH Regulation and Ammonia Homeostasis in the Cephalopod Octopus vulgaris
In contrast to terrestrial animals most aquatic species can be characterized by relatively higher blood [Formula: see text] concentrations despite its potential toxicity to the central nervous system. Although many aquatic species excrete [Formula: see text] via specialized epithelia little information is available regarding the mechanistic basis for NH3/[Formula: see text] homeostasis in mollu...
