  • RESPIRATORY CONTROL in the LUNGFISH, NEOCERATODUS FORSTERI (KREFT) KJELL JOHANSEN, CLAUDE LENFANT and GORDON C
    Comp. Biochem. Physiol., 1967, Vol. 20, pp. 835-854 RESPIRATORY CONTROL IN THE LUNGFISH, NEOCERATODUS FORSTERI (KREFT) KJELL JOHANSEN, CLAUDE LENFANT and GORDON C. GRIGG Abstract-1. Respiratory control has been studied in the lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri by measuring ventilation (Ve), oxygen uptake (VO2), per cent O2 extraction from water, breathing rates of branchial and aerial respiration and changes in blood gas and pulmonary gas composition during exposure to hypoxia and hypercarbia. 2. Hypoxic water represents a strong stimulus for compensatory increase in both branchial and aerial respiration. Water ventilation increases by a factor of 3 or 4 primarily as a result of increased depth of breathing. 3. The ventilation perfusion ratio decreased during hypoxia because of a marked increase in cardiac output. Hypoxia also increased the fraction of total blood flow perfusing the lung. Injection of nitrogen into the lung evoked no compensatory changes. 4. It is concluded that the chemoreceptors eliciting the compensatory changes are located on the external side facing the ambient water or in the efferent branchial blood vessels. 5. Elevated pCO2 in the ambient water depressed the branchial respiration but stimulated aerial respiration. 6. It is suggested that the primary regulatory effect of the response to increased ambient pCO2 is to prevent CO2 from entering the animal, while the secondary stimulation of air breathing is caused by hypoxic stimulation of chemoreceptors located in the efferent branchial vessels. INTRODUCTION I t i s generally accepted that vertebrates acquired functional lungs before they possessed a locomotor apparatus for invasion of a terrestrial environment. Shortage of oxygen in the environment is thought to have been the primary driving force behind the development of auxiliary air breathing.

I hypothesize that finfold reabsorption is part of the initial patterning of the median fins,and that caspase-3, an apoptosis marker, will be expressed in the fin fold during reabsorption. I analyzed time series of larvae in the first20-days post hatch (dph) to determine timing of median findevelopment in a basal bony fish- sturgeon- and in zebrafish, a derived bony fish. I am expecting the general activation pathway to be conserved in both fishesbut, the timing and location of cell death to differ.The dorsal fin foldis the firstto be reabsorbed in the sturgeon starting at 2 dph and rays formed at 6dph. This was closely followed by the anal finat 3 dph, rays at 9 dph and only later, at 6dph, does the caudal fin start forming and rays at 14 dph.

  • Module 2 : Anatomy – the Skeleton
    Module 2 : Anatomy – The Skeleton In this module you will learn: The functions of the skeletal system The types of bones in the human body The effects of exercise on your bones What happens to the bones as we get older When studying to become a fitness instructor or personal trainer, you will learn all about the anatomy of the human body. Studying the skeleton is one of the foundations of your trade, you will need to know how the body is structured, the names of each bone, types of bones, importance of bone and joint health, detail of the spine and different terms of movement. Without stating the obvious, each of your clients has their own skeleton and you must be fully aware of how this works. This is for many reasons; you are a teacher and must be fully aware of how to prevent injuries, avoid unnecessary stress on the bones and, if qualified, help the client prevent or heal bone and joint related conditions or medical problems. 2.1 Understanding the Skeletal System The skeleton is comprised of 206 different bones that provide 5 main functions: Support mechanism for muscle and tissue Protection for organs Movement with bones, muscles, and joints Storing minerals and blood cells Growth Skeletal System 2.2 Bones are Formed by Ossification Some bones (such as the flat bones of your skull) in the body are formed in a similar stage to connective tissue. The process is known as direct or intramembranous ossification. Other bones are made up of cartilaginous matter, this is developed from future bone in the embryo which then dissolves and is replaced with other bone cells.

  • The Muscular System
    THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM COMPILED BY HOWIE BAUM 1 Muscles make up the bulk of the body and account for 1/3 of its weight.!! Blood vessels and nerves run to every muscle, helping control and regulate each muscle’s function. The muscular system creates body heat and also moves the: Bones of the Skeletal system Food through Digestive system Blood through the Circulatory system Fluids through the Excretory system MUSCLE TISSUE The body has 3 main types of muscle tissue 1) Skeletal, 2) Smooth, and 3) Cardiac SKELETAL MUSCLE SMOOTH MUSCLE CARDIAC MUSCLE Skeletal muscles attach to and move bones by contracting and relaxing in response to voluntary messages from the nervous system. Skeletal muscle tissue is composed of long cells called muscle fibers that have a striated appearance. Muscle fibers are organized into bundles supplied by blood vessels and innervated by motor neurons. Muscle structure Skeletal (striated or voluntary) muscle consists of densely packed groups of hugely elongated cells known as myofibers. These are grouped into bundles (fascicles). A typical myofiber is 2–3 centimeters ( 3/4–1 1/5 in) long and 0.05millimeters (1/500 inch) in diameter and is composed of narrower structures – myofibrils. These contain thick and thin myofilaments made up mainly of the proteins actin and myosin. Numerous capillaries keep the muscle supplied with the oxygen and glucose needed to fuel contraction. Skeletal Muscles • Skeletal muscles attach to bones by tendons (connective tissue) and enable movement. • Skeletal muscles are mostly voluntary Feel the back of your ankle to feel your Achilles tendon - the largest tendon in your body.

  • Bony Fish Guide
    This guide will help you to complete the Bony Fish Observation Worksheet. Bony Fish Guide Fish (n.) An ectothermic (cold-blooded) vertebrate (with a backbone) aquatic (lives in water) animal that moves with the help of fins (limbs with no fingers or toes) and breathes with gills. This definition might seem very broad, and that is because fish are one of the most diverse groups of animals on the planet—there are a lot of fish in the sea (not to mention rivers, lakes and ponds). In fact, scientists count at least 32,000 species of fish—more than any other type of vertebrate. Fish are split into three broad classes: Jawless Fish Cartilaginous Fish Bony Fish (hagfish, lampreys, etc.) (sharks, rays, skates, etc.) (all other fish) This guide will focus on the Bony Fish. There are at least 28,000 species of bony fish, and they are found in almost every naturally occurring body of water on the planet. Bony fish range in size: • Largest: ocean sunfish (Mola mola), 11 feet, over 5,000 pounds • Smallest: dwarf pygmy goby (Pandaka pygmaea), ½ inch, a fraction of an ounce (This image is life size.) The following guide will help you learn more about the bony fish you can find throughout the New England Aquarium. Much of the guide is keyed to the Giant Ocean Tank, but can be applied to many kinds of fish. Even if you know nothing about fish, you can quickly learn a few things: The shape of a fish’s body, the position of its mouth and the shape of its tail can give you many clues as to its behavior and adaptations.
