    Nasal anatomy of trionychid turtles (1971)
    New York, NY : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: Two trionychid turtles, Trionyx ferox and Lissemys punctata, have similar and distinctive nasal cavities. Most of the parts of the nasal cavities are similar to those in other turtles, but the intermediate regions have many more small ridges and shallow sulci than do those of other turtles; these form a highly complex and distinctive pattern that varies in minor details. In turtles generally, a relatively large intermediate region appears to be correlated with strongly aquatic habits, which supports the interpretation that the vomeronasal epithelium of that region functions in olfaction in an aquatic environment.

    Visceral anatomy of the amphisbaenia (1980)

    Notes: Study of the visceral anatomy of 41 specimens of amphisbaenians representing 13 genera shows that they share a very distinct structure which differs from that found in either snakes or typical lizards. The left lung is large while the right is rudimentary or absent (unique); the kidneys are freely suspended in the coelom by a mesentery (unique); the spleen is usually embedded in the anterior end of the pancreas (as in snakes); the gall bladder lies in a notch in the liver, and the kidneys lie opposite each other (as in lizards). The distinctness of this pattern supports the recognition of the Amphisbaenia as a separate suborder of the Squamata.

    Smooth muscle cells in the rat testicular capsule: A developmental study (1975)

    Notes: This study of the postnatal development (from 1 to 60 days) of smooth muscle elements in the rat testicular capsule has demonstrated that while such elements are identifiable by light microscopy at 30 days, myocytes are present at birth as seen by electron microscopy. The differentiation of smooth muscle from birth to 30 days has been described, by which time it is of adult morphology and content. Perhaps significantly, it is at 30 days that the testis achieves a scrotal position, although sexual maturity does not occur until about 60 days. Presumably, at 30 days the testicular capsule of the rat is capable of the spontaneous contractions which are known to occur in the adult and which are assumed to aid the transport of non-motile spermatozoa from the testis to the epididymis.The presence of occasional striated muscle fibers in the rat testicular capsule as reported previously has not been confirmed by this investigation, although their possible origin is discussed.

    Notes: The ultrastructure of the pineal gland of the wild-captured eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus) was examined. A homogenous population of pinealocytes was the characteristic cellular element of the chipmunk pineal gland. Often, pinealocytes showed a folliclelike arrangement. Mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, granular endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, centrioles, dense-core vesicles, clear vesicles, glycogen particles, and microtubules were consistent components of the pinealocyte cytoplasm. The extraordinary ultrastructural feature of the chipmunk pinealocyte was the presence of extremely large numbers of “synaptic” ribbons. The number of “synaptic” ribbons in this species exceeded by a factor of five to 30 times that found in any species previously reported. In addition to pinealocytes, the pineal parenchyma contained glial cells (oligodendrocytes and fibrous astrocytes). Capillaries of the pineal gland of the chipmunk consisted of a fenestrated endothelium. Adrenergic nerve terminals were relatively sparse.

    Interactions among endoplasmic reticulum, microtubules, and retrograde movements of the cell surface (1994)

    Notes: Relationships among the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), microtubules, and bead movements on the cell surface were investigated in the thin peripheral region of A6 cells, a frog kidney cell line. ER tubules were often aligned with microtubules, as shown by double-labeling with DiOC6(3) and anti-tubulin in fixed cells. In living cells stained with DiOC6(3) and observed in time lapse, there were frequent extensions, but few retractions, of ER tubules. In addition, there was a steady retrograde (towards the cell center) movement of all of the ER at ∼0.3 μm/min. Since microtubules are often aligned with the ER, microtubules must also be moving retrogradely. By simultaneous imaging, it was found that the ER moves retrogradely at the same rate as aminated latex beads on the cell surface. This indicates that the mechanisms for ER and bead movement are closely related. Cytochalasin B stopped bead and ER movement in most of the cells, providing evidence that actin is involved in both retrograde movements. The ER retracted towards the cell center in nocodazole while both ER and microtubules retracted in taxol. Time lapse observations showed that for both drugs, the retraction of the ER is the result of retrograde movement in the absence of new ER extensions. Presumably, ER extensions do not occur in nocodazole because of the absence of microtubules, and do not occur in taxol because taxol-stabilized microtubules move retrogradely and there is no polymerization of new microtubule tracks for ER elongation. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.This Article is a US Government work and, as such, is in the public domain in the United States of America.

    Notes: A recent advance in metallurgical technology has been the application of rapid solidification techniques to Al alloy production. FVS0812 is the designation given to a microcrystalline Al-based alloy consisting of 8 wt% Fe, 1 wt% V and 2 wt% Si. It is a two-phase alloy, consisting of ca. 27 vol percent of approximately spherical Fe-V-Si-rich dispersoids in an essentially pure Al matrix. The high strength, low density properties of this advanced material, and other related alloys, have not yet been realized, however, due, in part, to the inability of the alloy to form a thick, adherent, abrasion-resistant outer surface oxide film, a feature readily achieved at conventional Al alloys by normal anodizing methods. The present research has involved an electro-chemical study of oxide film growth at the 812 alloy, with the specific goals being to seek an understanding of the origin of the oxide film growth problem and ultimately to propose alternative approaches to the formation of a thick, stable oxide film at this material. The techniques used in this research have included electrochemical methodologies such as cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Crucial information has been obtained through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of ultramicrotomed specimens. Experiments were carried out initially in neutral borate solutions to characterize the compact barrier oxide film formed in this environment and expected to be present beneath the porous oxide film formed in the normal sulfuric acid anodizing medium. In borate solutions, the electrochemical results implied oxide film thicknesses which were less than seen subsequently by TEM work, suggesting either that the barrier film at the 812 alloy can be penetrated by solution in very fine pores (not resolvable by conventional TEM) at its outer surface or that dispersoids trapped in the oxide film cause differential oxide film thicknesses to develop across the alloy surface. In sulfuric acid solutions, dissolution of Fe and V occurs from the 812 alloy during anodization. Both impedance and TEM studies reveal the absence of a barrier film at the 812 alloy surface. Also, the thick oxide overlayer has a tortuous and more open pore structure than formed at Al and the oxide film is also substantially thinner than it should be. It is suggested that the absence of a barrier oxide film indicates that the sulfuric acid anodizing medium is too aggressive for oxide film formation at the 812 alloy, resulting in excessive dissolution and poor oxide film qualities. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    The diencephalon of the primitive bony fish Polypterus in the light of the problem of homology (1966)

    Notes: The diencephalon of Polypterus can be divided into an epithalamus, thalamus, and hypothalamus. The habenulae, the nervous parts of the epithalamus, are comparable to their homologues in other lower vertebrates with respect to sulcal boundaries, cellular structure, and fiber connections. The thalamus of Polypterus is not divisible into a pars dorsalis and pars ventralis by the sulcus medius; rather this sulcus is in the middle of a uniform, laminated cytoarchitectonic field. In this respect Polypterus differs from other species in whom the sulcus medius divides the thalamus into dorsal and ventral parts. There are six migrated nuclei in the thalamus of Polypterus. There is only one circumscribed projection into the thalamus, i.e., the optic tract, but there are numerous diffuse fibers terminating in this region of the brain. The hypothalamus, except for a partially migrated nucleus, has retained the periventricular arrangement of cells. It has large fiber connections with the forebrain and brainstem.The literature on the diencephalon of lower forms has been reviewed with special emphasis on the question of how homologies are established in this brainpart. It appeared that three different criteria, either singly or in combination, have been employed as a clue to identification of structures in the diencephalon. These are, (1) ventricular grooves, (2) nuclear boundaries, and (3) fiber connections. In order to test the practical validity of these criteria the diencephalon of Polypterus was compared to that of five related species, i.e., the actinopterygians Acipenser and Polyodon, the dipnoans Protopterus and Neoceratodus, and the crossopterygian Latimeria. In addition three amphibians, Necturus, Ambystoma and Rana, were involved in our comparative considerations. It was concluded that, within the confines of the diencephalon of the species mentioned, cytoarchitectural differences form the most valid criterion for establishing homologies. The drawback and restrictions connected with the use of ventricular sulci and fiber connections, as a clue to identification have been evaluated and discussed.

    The mammalian testicular capsule and its muscle elements (1974)

    Notes: This study of the testicular capsule of rat, dog, cat and human has confirmed the presence of three layers, viz., the tunica vaginalis, the tunica albuginea proper and an innermost tunica vasculosa. Smooth muscle cells are present in the tunica albuginea of all four species and are more prominent at the posterior pole of the testis where the capsule merges with the mediastinum testis. In the rat and the dog, a few striated muscle fibers also are present.While the tunica albuginea is to be considered as a dense connective tissue, the arrangement of the collagen bundles and the presence of a relatively high content of elastic fibers probably permits changes in size of the testis following spontaneous contractions of the muscle elements, which are known to occur. The role of the testicular capsule in sperm transport is discussed in relation to other factors, the spontaneous contractions of the capsule presumably having a “pumping” action and aiding the movement of non-motile spermatozoa from the testis to the epididymis.The presence of striated muscle fibers in two species is of interest and, while these may function in a similar manner to the smooth muscle, they may represent simply an unusual differentiation of embryonic myoblasts.
