Sensory Equilibrium and Dark Adaptation in Mya Arenaria
1. The reaction time of Mya to light is composed of two parts. The first, a sensitization period, is an exceedingly short interval of the order of magnitude associated with photographic processes. The second is a latent period of about 1.3 seconds, during which Mya need not remain exposed to the stimulating light. 2. The process of dark adaptation in Mya is orderly. Its progress may be represen...
متن کاملThe Double Innervation of Muscles in the Clam {mya Arenaria)
IT is a matter of common observation that lamellibranch molluscs may close the valves of their shell by a fairly rapid twitch-like contraction of the adductor muscles, and may thereafter in certain circumstances relax the adductors, immediately allowing the valves to gape, while in other circumstances these muscles may be maintained for a considerable time in the shortened state even when large...
متن کاملPersistent organic pollutants in four bivalve species from Svalbard waters.
Organochlorine compounds (OC) were determined in Arctic bivalves (Mya truncata, Serripes groenlandicus, Hiatella arctica and Chlamys islandica) from Svalbard with regard to differences in geographic location, species and variations related to their size and age. Higher chlorinated polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB 101-PCB 194), chlordanes and α-hexachlorocyclohexane (α-HCH) were consistently detec...
متن کاملShell matrix proteins of the clam, Mya truncata: Roles beyond shell formation through proteomic study.
Mya truncata, a soft shell clam, is presented as a new model to study biomineralization through a proteomics approach. In this study, the shell and mantle tissue were analysed in order to retrieve knowledge about the secretion of shell matrix proteins (SMPs). Out of 67 and 127 shell and mantle proteins respectively, 16 were found in both shell and mantle. Bioinformatic analysis of SMP sequences...
متن کاملThe Nature of the Latent Period in the Photic Response of Mya Arenaria
The latent period in the response of Mya to illumination varies inversely as the duration of the exposure to which it is subjected. The reciprocal of the latent period, measuring the velocity of the process which underlies it, is a linear function of the exposure period. Since the duration of the exposure represents the amount of photochemical activity, it is concluded that the substances forme...
