Water exchange and permeability properties of the skin in three species of amphibious sea snakes (Laticauda spp.).
Evolutionary transitions between different environmental media such as air and water pose special problems with respect to skin permeability because of the dramatic changes in the driving gradients and nature of water exchange processes. Also, during the transitional periods prior to complete adaptation to a new medium, the skin is exposed to two very different sets of environmental conditions....
متن کاملEffects of Iranian Snakes Venom True Sea and Terrestrial Snakes on Some Bacterial Cultures
The antibacterial activities of eight snake crude venom (Macrovipera lebetina obtusa, Pseudocerastes persicus, Pseudocerastes urarachnoides, Echis carinatus sochureki, Gloydius halys caucasicus, Naja (naja) oxiana, and two species of true sea snakes Enhydrina schistose and Hydrophis cyanocinctus) were assessed against five important standard pathogenic bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, ...
متن کاملThe permeability of human oral mucosa and skin to water.
Specimens from four regions of oral mucosa (palate, buccal mucosa, lateral border of the tongue, and the floor of the mouth) and of abdominal skin were taken from 58 individuals at autopsy, for determination of permeability constants (Kp) to tritium-labeled water. Comparisons between fresh specimens and those stored at -80 degrees C revealed no significant effect on Kp as a result of freezing; ...
متن کاملExperimental Determination of Steam Water Relative Permeability Relations
A set of relative permeability relations for simultaneous ow of steam and water in porous media have been derived from experiments conducted under conditions that eliminate most errors associated with saturation and pressure measurements. These relations show that the relative permeability for steam phase in porous media varies linearly with saturation. The liquid phase, however shows a variati...
متن کاملPelagic sea snakes dehydrate at sea.
Secondarily marine vertebrates are thought to live independently of fresh water. Here, we demonstrate a paradigm shift for the widely distributed pelagic sea snake, Hydrophis (Pelamis) platurus, which dehydrates at sea and spends a significant part of its life in a dehydrated state corresponding to seasonal drought. Snakes that are captured following prolonged periods without rainfall have lowe...
