Mycotic Infections in Amphibians and Reptiles
Mycotic diseases have previously been described very seldom. Only a few dozens of publications are available; compare table 1. — In the last years we... -
Membrane-Bound Hormone Receptors
Receptors are those cellular structures with which biologically active hormones and drugs first interact. Physiologically these receptors perform two... -
Morphology of the Autonomic Nervous System
The anatomy of the autonomic nervous system of the frog was established during the last century and was first summarized in Ecker’s and Wiedersheim’s... -
The relation between plasma Na concentration and salt gland Na−K ATPase content in the diamondback terrapin and the yellow-bellied sea snake
The Na−K ATPase activity of the diamondback terrapin ( Malaclemys ) lachrymal salt gland increased with a rise in Na concentration of the plasma....

Zoochromes and Sensory Perception
It seems probable that chromes play a part in the function of most sense cells and the primary function of chromatophores (p. 141) in response to... -
The Chemical Classes of Zoochrome
The structural formulae of representative members of each of the fully characterised chemical classes of zoochrome are given in Fig. 3.1. The number... -
Distribution and State of Zoochromes in the Body
Distribution in the body should reflect the functional significance of various chromes very closely. It is useful to distinguish three successive... -
The Reptiles
Reptiles are considered phyletically to represent the first truly terrestrial vertebrates. They originated in the early Mesozoic period from an... -
Osmotic Problems of Vertebrates
Water provides the principal physical framework in which the energy transformations characteristic of life take place; it is the solvent for life as... -
Retinal and extraretinal photoreceptors mediate entrainment of the circadian locomotor rhythm in lizards
The circadian locomotor activity rhythms of 7 species of lizards can readily be entrained (synchronized) to L D12: 12 (30–50 lux: 0) fluorescent light...
