The electrical circuitry of an olfactory sensillum in Antheraea polyphemus.
The aim of this study was to obtain a better insight into the distribution of active and passive electrical properties of the membranes of al olfactory sensillum. Such a sensillum is composed of three accessory cells which envelope the somata of two receptor neurons which have long (300 micron) dendrites that are incorporated in cuticular protuberances (hairs). An electrical equivalent circuit ...
متن کاملThe Drosophila proneural gene amos promotes olfactory sensillum formation and suppresses bristle formation.
Proneural genes encode basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors required for neural precursor specification. Recently amos was identified as a new candidate Drosophila proneural gene related to atonal. Having isolated the first specific amos loss-of-function mutations, we show definitively that amos is required to specify the precursors of two classes of olfactory sensilla. Unlike ot...
متن کاملFatigue of insect cuticle.
Many parts of the insect exoskeleton experience repeated cyclic loading. Although the cuticle of insects and other arthropods is the second most common natural composite material in the world, so far nothing is known about its fatigue properties, despite the fact that fatigue undoubtedly limits the durability of body parts in vivo. For the first time, we here present experimental fatigue data o...
متن کاملInsect cuticle, an in vivo model of protein trafficking.
In the course of this study more than 20 proteins have been isolated from the larval cuticle of Manduca sexta. Synthesis, secretion, transport and accumulation of four particular proteins, representative members of four characteristic groups, were followed during metamorphosis by immunoblot and immuncytochemical methods and are described in detail in this paper. We established that only some of...
متن کاملAn active reduction of water level in insect cuticle.
The control of water movement through the cuticle of terrestrial arthropods is demonstrated by a number of phenomena. For example, Lees (1946) has shown an active retention of water, Winston & Nelson (1965) indicate an active regulation of water loss, and Beament (1961) reviews the evidence for active uptake of atmospheric water. These phenomena are best explained by a water pump of some kind i...
