The Cytoplasmlc Inclusions of the Neurones of Helix aspersa
نویسنده
چکیده
1. The only cytoplasmic inclusions visible in the living neurone are lipid globules and mitochondria. 2. In both Helix and Limnaea there are three kinds of lipid globules, as follows: (a) large globules, yellowish from their carotinoid content; (6) smaller globules, easily coloured by vital dyes; (c) small globules, not colourable by vital dyes. 3. The crescents and rings ('dictyosomes') seen in 'Golgi' preparations appear to be formed by the deposition of silver or osmium on the distorted contents of the smaller globules that are easily coloured by the vital dyes. 4. No crescents or rings are seen in the cytoplasm of the living cell. 5. The mitochondria are long, thin threads.

The Physical Nature of the Lipid Globules in the Living Neurones of Helix aspersa as indicated by Measurements of Refractive Index
The lipid globules in the neurones of Helix aspersa have been found by Chou in 1957 to be of three distinct kinds that differ from each other in chemical composition. In the present investigation, the refractive indices of these three kinds of globule were measured by the technique for measuring the refractive indices of cytoplasmic inclusions in living cells developed by Ross in 1954, which is...
متن کاملComparison of the effect of quasitrapezoidal and rectangular pulses on bio- electrical activity, calcium spike properties and afterhyperpolarization potentials of Fl cells of Helix aspersa using intracellular recording
While the effect of changes of stimulus waveform (quasitrapezoidal and rectangular current pulses) on nerve activation is clear, but there is no evidence on the effect of quasitrapezoidal pulses on ionic currents of cellular membrane. In the present study, the effect of depolarizing quasi-trapezoidal current pulses, in comparison with that of depolarizing rectangular current pulses, on firing...
