The Need for Salt Glands
tatus) is well known for its unusual diet and foraging mode. Feeding on subtidal/intertidal algae, it incurs a high load of salts (primarily sodium chloride, with some potassium) from its food (Dunson, 1969; Shoemaker and Nagy, 1984). To cope with this high-salt diet, the marine iguana uses large cranial salt glands that excrete most of the sodium, potassium, and chloride ingested; forceful exp...
متن کاملMorphology of isolated crustacean larval salt glands.
Larval salt glands isolated from the naupliar brine shrimp (Artemia salina) were examined using light microscopy and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. These methods demonstrated that most cellular and subcellular features of the in vitro organ compared favorably with those seen in vivo. This salt gland measures 130 micron in diameter and is comprised of 50-70 secretory cells, which...
متن کاملProgress in Studying Salt Secretion from the Salt Glands in Recretohalophytes: How Do Plants Secrete Salt?
To survive in a saline environment, halophytes have evolved many strategies to resist salt stress. The salt glands of recretohalophytes are exceptional features for directly secreting salt out of a plant. Knowledge of the pathway(s) of salt secretion in relation to the function of salt glands may help us to change the salt-tolerance of crops and to cultivate the extensive saline lands that are ...

متن کاملFunctional and morphological plasticity of crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) salt glands.
The estuarine crocodile, Crocodylus porosus, inhabits both freshwater and hypersaline waterways and maintains ionic homeostasis by excreting excess sodium and chloride ions via lingual salt glands. In the present study, we sought to investigate the phenotypic plasticity, both morphological and functional, in the lingual salt glands of the estuarine crocodile associated with chronic exposure to ...
