Myogenic Heartbeat in the Primitive Crustacean Triops longicaudatus.
Pacemaker mechanisms in the heart of the primitive crustacean Triops longicaudatus were examined electrophysiologically. The heart is tubular and the heart wall consists of a single layer of myocardial cells. No nerve cells were found in the heart, either with methylene blue vital staining or by light microscopy of serial sections. The heart beats rhythmically at a frequency of 120 to 240 beats...
متن کاملAminergic modulation of the myogenic heart in the branchiopod crustacean Triops longicaudatus.
Although crustaceans typically have a neurogenic heart, the primitive crustacean Triops longicaudatus has a myogenic heart with the heartbeat arising from the endogenous rhythmic activity of the myocardium. In the present investigation, the effects of six biogenic amines, epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, octopamine, serotonin and histamine, on the myogenic heart of T. longicaudatus were e...
متن کاملEnvironmental hypoxia influences hemoglobin subunit composition in the branchiopod crustacean Triops longicaudatus.
Hemoglobin (Hb) is a highly conserved protein that provides a vital link between environmental oxygen and its use and/or storage within an organism. While ubiquitous among vertebrates, Hb occurs frequently in invertebrate phyla as well. Many arthropod species use the copper-binding pigment hemocyanin, but unique in this phylum are the branchiopod crustaceans, which express Hb. Branchiopod Hb co...
متن کاملPhysiological properties of hemoglobin in the branchiopod crustacean Triops.
HORNE, FRANCIS R., AND KLAUS W. BEYENBACH. Physiological properties of hemoglobin in the branchiopod crustacean Triops. Am. Je Physiol. 220(6) : 1875188 1. 197 1 .-Hemoglobin of the freshwater crustacean, Triops longicaudatus, was found to have oxygen equilibrium curves similar to those of the white rat when compared under identical experimental conditions (e.g. pH-7.1; temp = 22-23 C; Hb = 2 m...
متن کاملOptimal conditions for rearing the tadpole shrimp, Triops longicaudatus (Notostraca:Triopsidae), a biological control agent against mosquitoes.
Tadpole shrimp (TPS) were reared at 15, 20, 25, and 30 degrees C in the laboratory. Size of TPS was temperature and age dependent with more rapid development at warmer temperatures. Survivorship was inversely related to rearing temperature. Mean age at death was 24.2, 19.2, 14.3, and 11.8 days at 15, 20, 25, and 30 degrees C, respectively. Rearing temperature (excluding 15 degrees C) did not af...
