متن کاملThe Electrophysiology of Electric Organs of Marine Electric Fishes
Studies on the electric organs of Narcine brasiliensis and particularly of the responses of the electroplaques of the accessory organ confirm and amplify data obtained on the electroplaques of Torpedo nobiliana. Only the innervated surface is electrogenically reactive and the uninnervated surface has a low resistance, as in Torpedo electroplaques. However, in the accessory organ of Narcine the ...
متن کاملSynapsin I is associated with cholinergic nerve terminals in the electric organs of Torpedo, Electrophorus, and Malapterurus and copurifies with Torpedo synaptic vesicles.
Using an affinity-purified monospecific polyclonal antibody against bovine brain synapsin I, the distribution of antigenically related proteins was investigated in the electric organs of the three strongly electric fish Torpedo marmorata, Electrophorus electricus, Malapterurus electricus and in the rat diaphragm. On application of indirect fluorescein isothiocyanate-immunofluorescence and using...
متن کاملThe Fine Structure of the Electric Organ of Torpedo Marmorata
The fine structure of the electric organ of the fish Torpedo marmorata has been examined after osmium tetroxide or potassium permanganate fixation, acetone dehydration, and Araldite embedment. This organ consists of stacks of electroplaques which possess a dorsal noninnervated and a ventral richly innervated surface. Both surfaces are covered with a thin basement membrane. A tubular membranous ...
متن کاملA Comparative Analysis of Feeding and Trophic Level Ecology in Stingrays (Rajiformes; Myliobatoidei) and Electric Rays (Rajiformes: Torpedinoidei)
Standardised diets and trophic level (T L) estimates were calculated for 75 ray species from the suborders Myliobatoidei (67 spp.) and Torpedinoidei (8 spp.). Decapod crustaceans (31.71 ± 3.92%) and teleost fishes (16.45 ± 3.43%) made the largest contribution to the standardised diet of the Myliobatoidei. Teleost fishes (37.40 ± 16.09%) and polychaete worms (31.96 ± 14.22%) were the most promin...
