Osmotic Relationships in the Hen's Egg as Determined by Relative Vapor Pressures
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been shown by a comparison of the relative vapor pressures of egg yolk and egg white before and after the addition of sodium chloride to the white that the osmotic pressure of the yolk is greater than that of the white.

Physics of the Hen's Egg I. Membranes in the Egg
THIS paper is an account of observations made on the composition and behaviour of certain of the membranes in the hen's egg. The composition is based on the examination of stained sections; the results should, however, give pointers in a purely chemical survey. Needham(i) has reviewed the work—chemical and histological—that has been carried out on the nature of the yolk and shell membranes. The...
متن کاملOsmotic Relationships in the Hen's Egg
Data have been given to illustrate the difficulty of obtaining consistent freezing point data with a viscous fluid such as the yolk of the hen's egg and a technique has been described for obtaining reproducible and accurate results consistently. Further freezing point data have been given which were obtained with both fertile and unfertile hen's eggs by the use of a freezing point method previo...
متن کاملThe Vapor Pressure of Dog's Blood at Body Temperature
The vapor pressures of dog's blood and blood plasma were determined at 37.5 degrees by the dynamic method and the osmotic pressures calculated from the experimental data. The vapor pressures calculated from experimentally determined freezing point data agreed, within the experimental error, with the values obtained from direct measurement. The vapor pressure lowering produced by the colloid con...

This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of three different conditions of osmotic pressure (325, 365 and 385 mOsm kg-1) in combination with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and NaCl or glucose on spermatozoa DNA damage, rate and duration of motility. Sperm was collected from eight healthy mature Mesopotamian catfish, evaluated microscopically and pooled at 25 °C. The pooled sperm samples...
متن کاملThe Osmotic Relations between White and Yolk in the Hen's Egg
THE osmotic relations between white and yolk in the fertilised and unfertilised hen's egg have often been investigated. The complexity of these relations is presumably due largely to peculiar physico-chemical properties of the colloid constituents of the egg. The purpose of this paper is primarily to confirm the existence of a considerable osmotic difference between white and yolk in the unfert...
