The lateral line system at metamorphosis in Xenopus laevis (Daudin).
نویسنده
چکیده
Marked changes in the anatomy of the lateral line system occur during the metamorphosis of Xenopus. The distribution of rows differs in larva and adult and the orientation and number of organs are modified at metamorphosis. Larval plaques are functional, as shown by recording from their nerves. Two classes of cells with polarized cilia are present in the tadpole well before the orientation of individual organ plaques is rearranged at metamorphosis. The topography of the skin surface around individual plaques changes at metamorphosis. This change may reduce the directional sensitivity of organs. Myelinated inhibitory axons in the lateralis nerve are found only when the tadpole matures. This change takes place at a time when the adult method of locomotion is developed.

Culture of lymphocytes from adult Xenopus laevis (Daudin) (a pipid anuran amphibian) with mitogens (PHA, ConA, LPS and PWM) reveals a wide variation in the mitogen sensitivity of these cells: relatively high concentrations of mitogen are required to stimulate Xenopus lymphocytes compared with the concentrations appropriate for mammalian lymphocytes. Significantly better responses are obtained u...

The emergence of air breathing during amphibian metamorphosis requires significant changes to the brainstem circuits that generate and regulate breathing. However, the mechanisms controlling this developmental process are unknown. Because corticosterone plays an important role in the neuroendocrine regulation of amphibian metamorphosis, we tested the hypothesis that corticosterone augments fict...
