Myoneural Junctions of Two Ultrastructurally Distinct Types in Earthworm Body Wall Muscle
THE LONGITUDINAL MUSCLE OF THE EARTHWORM BODY WALL IS INNERVATED BY NERVE BUNDLES CONTAINING AXONS OF TWO TYPES WHICH FORM TWO CORRESPONDING TYPES OF MYONEURAL JUNCTION WITH THE MUSCLE FIBERS TYPE I JUNCTIONS RESEMBLE CHOLINERGIC NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTIONS OF VERTEBRATE SKELETAL MUSCLE AND ARE CHARACTERIZED BY THREE FEATURES: (a) The nerve terminals contain large numbers of spherical, clear, appro...
متن کاملThe contractile mechanism in obliquely striated body wall muscle of the earthworm, Lumbricus terrestris.
Obliquely striated muscle fibres from the longitudinal and circular layers of the body wall of the earthworm were prepared in extended and contracted states for study in the electron microscope. Contracted fibres differ from extended ones in the following respects: (i) the I-bands are narrower, (ii) the A-bands are wider, and (iii) there are more rows of thick myofilaments in each A-band. The a...
متن کاملThe Structure of the Smooth Muscle Fibres in the Body Wall of the Earthworm
1. The structure of the smooth muscle fibres in the longitudinal muscle coat of the body wall of Lumbricus terrestris has been investigated by phase contrast light microscopy and electron microscopy. 2. The muscle fibre is ribbon-shaped, and attached to each of its two surfaces is a set of myofibrils. These are also ribbon-shaped, and they lie with their surfaces perpendicular to the surfaces o...
متن کاملChloride cotransport in the membrane of earthworm body wall muscles.
The resting membrane potential (V(m)) of isolated somatic longitudinal muscles of the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris was studied by glass microelectrodes. The inhibition of chloride permeability by low pH did not affect V(m) of the muscle fibers in isolated somatic longitudinal muscles of the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris which was -48.7 mV (inside negative) at pH 7.3 and -49.1 at pH 5.6. On t...
متن کاملTwo ultrastructurally distinct tubulin paracrystals induced in sea-urchin eggs by vinblastine sulphate.
Two types of ultrastructurally distinct tubulin paracrystals have been induced in sea-urchin eggs with vinblastine sulphate (VLB) under different sets of conditions. One type of paracrystal appears to consist of hexagonally-close packed microtubules and closely resembles paracrystals present in mammalian cells treated with vinblastine or vincristine sulphate, but not previously reported in sea-...
