Functional morphology of the gizzard of the domestic goose: design of an artificial gizzard

Journal of Zoology, 1998
AbstractAn artificial gizzard was developed to investigate the functional basis of the asymmetry of the gizzard muscles of herbivorous birds, such as the domestic goose (Anser anser). Two types of gizzard muscle morphology were modelled: asymmetric muscles that generated a translational movement; and symmetric muscles that generated a compressional ...

Studies on the avian gizzard: The development of the gizzard and its innervation

Zeitschrift f�r Zellforschung und Mikroskopische Anatomie, 1969
The development of the chick gizzard and its innervation have been studied using histochemical techniques and light and electronmicroscopy. In Hamburger-Hamilton stage 28–29 (6-day old) embryos, the primordium of the gizzard consists of a vascularised mesenchymal thickening of the gut.

Chicken gizzard myosin

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1966
Abstract The Ca++-ATPase activity of chicken gizzard myosin is increased 2- to 3-fold by tryptic treatment and by various substances, urea, guanidine-HCl, sodium dodecylsulfate, KCNS, LiBr, ethanol, or ethylene glycol. These substances also activate the Ca++-ATPase of rabbit uterus myosin but have no effect on the Ca++-ATPase of chicken breast myosin.

Investigations on the Gizzard Lining of the Chick

Acta Physiologica Scandinavica, 1958
Summary. 1 The gizzard lining of chicks, 4 to 8 weeks old, was examined with respect to its protein and yellow pigment. 2 Seventeen amino acids were determined quantitatively. The protein which represents the secretion of the stratum glandulare is a scleroprotein having a lower content of cystine than most keratins and a lower glycine content ...

Chicken gizzard subfragment I

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure, 1971
Abstract 1. 1.Chicken gizzard Subfragment 1 was isolated from the heavy meromyosin by digestion with papain. This Subfragment 1 appeared as a single peak after chromatography on Sephadex G-200 and DEAE-cellulose. Its migration on disk gel electrophoresis was identical with that of rabbit skeletal Subfragment 1 suggesting a similar molecular ...

On the nerve plexus of the chicken gizzard

Anatomy and Embryology, 1987
The Auerbach's plexus of the gizzard was stained in toto in adult chicken and in young and newly-hatched chicks. The plexus lies immediately beneath the serosa and extends over 55% of the surface of the organ, covering its cranial and caudal poles and the two curvatures. The areas into which the plexus does not extend (i.e., most of the ventral and the

Chicken gizzard

Anatomy and Embryology, 1985
The fine structure and the organization of muscle and connective tissue in the middle portion of the chicken gizzard (muscular stomach) has been studied by light and electron microscopy. The musculature is divided into long, well-defined bundles arranged circularly and concentrically and extending between the two tendons (tendinous aponeurosis).

Chicken‐Gizzard Actin

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1980
Interaction of actin from chicken gizzard and from rabbit skeletal muscle with rabbit skeletal muscle myosin was compared by measuring the rate of superprecipitation, the activation of the Mg‐ATPase and inhibition of K‐ATPase activity of myosin and heavy meromyosin, and determination of binding of heavy meromyosin in the absence of ATP.

Function of the gizzard in Bryozoa

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1987
Abstract The gizzard, a modified region of the stomach cardia incorporating chitinized teeth or plates surrounded by circular muscle, has been reported in 16 bryozoan genera (one Cheilostomata, 12 Ctenostomata, three Cyclostomata) and has independently evolved at least six times.
