Pacinian Corpuscles in the Digits of the House Musk Shrew (Suncus murinus)-Preliminary note-
نویسندگان
چکیده
The distribution and morphology of the digital Pacinian corpuscles in the laboratory house musk shrew, Suncus murinlls, were examined by light and electron microscopes. The Pacinian corpuscles occurred bilaterally along the digital nerves in the 'connective tissue between the flexor digitorum tendons and palmar aspects of the phalanges. They were oval or ellipsoidal in shape and were small, bearing structural resemblance to those occurring in the articular capsules of the cat and man . The outer core of each corpuscle is comprised of approximately 10 Iayers of perineural lamellae. Because the digital Pacinian corpuscles are exposed to tendinous activity, they may be involved in the regulation of muscle tonus of the limbs in the house musk shrew. Bull. Sch. A1lied.

Induction of emetic response to staphylococcal enterotoxins in the house musk shrew (Suncus murinus).
The emetic responses induced by staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA), SEB, SEC2, SED, SEE, SEG, SEH, and SEI in the house musk shrew (Suncus murinus) were investigated. SEA, SEE, and SEI showed higher emetic activity in the house musk shrew than the other SEs. SEB, SEC2, SED, SEG, and SEH also induced emetic responses in this animal model but relatively high doses were required. The house musk sh...
متن کاملSensory innervation of gingival and alveolar mucosa of the house musk shrew (Suncus murinus).
The lingual gingival and the alveolar mucosa of mandible of the house musk shrew (Suncus murinus) were stained by methylene blue vital staining or osmic acid staining, and mounted as whole thickness preparations. The sensory innervation and the distribution of sensory receptors were investigated with a light microscope. The nerve fibers supplying these regions derive from the sublingual nerve, ...
متن کاملRobertsonian metacentrics of the house musk shrew (Suncus murinus, Insectivora, Soricidae) lose the telomeric sequences in the centromeric area.
The house musk shrew, Suncus murinus, is polymorphic for five Robertsonian translocations (Rb8.17, 9.13, 10.12, 11.16, 14.15). Fluorescence in situ hybridisation with a biotin-labelled oligonucleotide, (TTAGGG)7, was performed to localise the telomeric DNA sequences at Rb chromosomes of heterozygous shrews. Hybridisation signals were observed at both ends of all chromosomes, but not at the peri...
متن کاملMammary growth and plasma progesterone level during pregnancy in the house musk shrew, Suncus murinus Linnaeus.
The process of growth of the mammary gland and change in the plasma concentration of progesterone were investigated throughout the course of pregnancy (30 days) in the home musk shrew, Suncus murinus L. Development of the mammary gland of the musk shrew was limited during the first half of pregnancy. Extensive branching of ducts and conspicuous alveolar formation and a marked increase in the DN...
متن کاملA novel set of microsatellite marker loci linkage-mapped in the house musk shrew, Suncus murinus.
Ten microsatellite DNA loci developed for the white-toothed shrew (Crocidura russula) were tested for PCR amplification and for utility in linkage studies in the house musk shrew, Suncus murinus. Four primer pairs successfully yielded PCR amplicons and showed polymorphism between two mutant strains, BAN-kc,oeb and WZ. Cloning and sequencing of the PCR amplicons of all the four loci confirmed th...
