... slime glands shows that recovery of slime takes 3-4 weeks and its composition changes during refilling. Mucous cells Slime Thread cells Defense response Striated muscle Hagfishes (Myxini) are known for their unique defensive slime ( Downing et al., 1981a ; Newby, 1946 ), which...

...Mathias Gautel; Kristina Djinović-Carugo; Stan L. Lindstedt; Hans H. Hoppeler ABSTRACT Highly ordered organisation of striated muscle is the prerequisite for the fast and unidirectional development of force and motion during heart and skeletal muscle contraction. A group of proteins, summarised...

...K. A. P. Edman SUMMARY The aim of the present investigation was to elucidate the elastic properties of the myofilaments during tetanic activity in striated muscle. The study was carried out on intact single muscle fibres from the anterior tibialis muscle of Rana temporaria (2.0–2.5°C...

...Y.-C. James Lin; Andrew N. Spencer SUMMARY When striated muscle cells of the jellyfish Polyorchis penicillatus were dissociated at 30°C they retained their in vivo morphology and the integrity of ionic currents. This contrasted with cells dissociated at room temperature that rarely expressed any...
