THE ACTIVITY OF THE CONTRACTILE VACUOLE IN A SUCTORIAN (TOKOPHRYA INFUSIONUM)
The Biological Bulletin, 1951 1. Evidence is presented for the existence of a close relation between the behavior of the contractile vacuole and several phases of the functional activity of Tokophrya infusionum.2. When the process of feeding starts the pulsation rate of the contractile vacuole rises suddenly, remains high during feeding and falls gradually on cessation of the ...

The Nature of the Contractile Vacuole [PDF]
Nature, 1925 FOR some years we have been investigating the cytoplasmic bodies in the protozoa. In NATURE of March 10, 1923, we were able to give the first account of the stages undergone by the Golgi bodies in the sporozoon Adelea. A full account of this work has been published in the Q.J.M.S., vol. 67, Part III., 1923. More recently M. Ph.

Myofiber structure, sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca<sup>2+</sup> handling, and contractile function after muscle-damaging exercise in humans. [PDF]
Physiol RepAlterations in myofiber Ca2+ handling systems after eccentrically, damaging exercise. Created in https://BioRender.com. Abstract Exercise‐induced muscle damage (EIMD) is characterized by a severe and prolonged decline in force‐generating capacity. However, the precise cellular mechanisms underlying the observed long‐lasting decline in force‐generating ...
