The reactions of isolated parts of Spirostomum.
نویسنده
چکیده
The determination of the reactions and behaviour of isolated fragments of a protozoan is of value to the study of three problems, namely, the relationship between the nucleus and behaviour, the detection of any area in the organism specialized for the reception of external stimuli, and in the case of a ciliate, the role played in normal swimming by the cilia of different regions of the body. Recently, an account has been given of the reactions of fragments of Amoeba proteus (Clark, 1944). The present paper is an extension of the work to include a ciliated form.

متن کاملEffects of high hydrostatic pressures on the activity and behaviour of the ciliate Spirostomum.
In a general survey of the effects of high hydrostatic pressures on the activity of flagellates and ciliates (Kitching, 1957) it was shown that the heterotrich ciliate Spirostomum ambiguum, raised to a pressure of 4000 p.s.i. (260 atmospheres) or more, fails to make the usual avoiding reaction on reaching the edge of the hanging drop. The present work was designed to throw light on the mechanis...
متن کاملSome New Cytological Observations in the Heterotrichous Ciliate, Blepharisma
During the course of an experimental, fine structural study of Blepharisma, certain aspects of the normal anatomy of the cell came to our attention. Although Blepharisma is the subject of two recent reports (9, 10), these features have, to our knowledge, hitherto been neglected in the literature. Furthermore, we feel that the present report may serve to clarify some of the recent work on the cl...
