Digitiform Sensilla on the Maxillar Palp of Coleoptera
1981
The fine structure of the digitiform sensilla on the distal segment of the maxillar palps of Tenebrio and Dermestes is described. Each sensillum is associated with a single sensory cell and three enveloping cells, which enclose two receptor lymph cavities. The inner receptor lymph cavity of both species shows a different structural feature. Branches of the outer dendritic segments, which contain numerous microtubules, run to the tip of the hairshaft. A dendritic sheath extends to the apex of the peg. The hairshaft possesses a second canal, which is free of dendrites. The poreless hairshaft is inserted in a cuticular canal; the longer distal part of the shaft is positioned in a narrow superf…
Die digitiformen Sensillen auf dem Maxillarpalpus von Coleoptera
1980
The digitiform sensilla on the distal segment of the maxillar palps ofAgabus bipustulatus (L.) andHydrobius fuscipes (L.) were investigated by electron microscopic methods. Each sensillum is innervated by a single bipolar sensory cell. The sensilla ofHydrobius are associated with three enveloping cells, which enclose an inner and outer receptor lymph cavity. A single enveloping cell only is found in the completely differentiated sensilla ofAgabus. These sensilla do not form an outer lymph cavity. The area beneath the hair base is filled by the distal process of the enveloping cell and by extensions of epidermal cells. Only one extra-cellular space exists, which seems to be homologous to an …
Feinstruktur eines dritten, nicht-cili�ren Propriorezeptors an der Mandibel vonOryzaephilus surinamensis (L.) (Insecta, Coleoptera)
1978
A third proprioceptor is described in the head ofOryzaephilus, which—just as the other two—presumably controls the movement of the mandible. It consists of two muscle fibres between the anterior arm of tentorium and the dorsal base of mandible, and a sensory cell, which sends a dendrite to the muscle insertion. The numerous endings of the dendrite lie between the touching surfaces of muscle fibres and epidermis cells. They do not show any ciliary structures and are not surrounded by glia cells or connective tissue.
Fine structure of sensilla during moulting inNeomysis integer (Leach) (Crustacea, Mysidacea)
1980
During the moulting cycle the sensory cells and the newly formed hair shaft remain connected to the old cuticular receptive apparatus of the sensillum by the elongated outer segments of the dendrites, which run through the exuvial space. A surface coat covering the outer dendritic segments protects them against the chemical influences of the exuvial fluid. The findings suggest that the receptors remain functional until ecdysis. This moulting type is considered to be a transitional form between the moulting types so far known.
Mobile phone and auditory system: update
2009
The aim of this study is to asses the non-thermal effects of the electromagnetic fields generated by 915 MHz GSM cellular phones on the human cochlear activity using transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE). The study was carried on 205 young and healthy volunteers (age 18-30 years) with normal hearing which were randomly divided into two samples consisting of 85 (Gcase) and 120 (Gcontrol) respectively. The first one was exposed to genuine 10 minutes of GSM electromagnetic fields while the second, undergone sham exposure, was considered as control group for the statistical investigations. All the participants were blind to the genuine or sham exposure. The TEOAEs were measured in the …
