Fibroma in a Nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcingtus)

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1983
An adult male Nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus nonemcintus) had a large tumour between the first and second phalanges of the right fore-foot. The tumour was of dermal origin, consisted of dense interlacing bundles of collagen, and contained numerous fibroblasts with elongate nuclei and sparse cytoplasm.

Ultrastructure of the salivary bladder of the nine-banded armadillo

Cell and Tissue Research, 1976
The nine-banded armadillo possesses a salivary bladder which is a dilated portion of the main duct of the submandibular gland at its origin. The wall of the bladder is composed of an epithelium, a submucosa and a thick coat of skeletal muscle. The ultrastructure of the epithelium reveals that it is complex and consists of three cell types: 1) principal

Epithalamus of the nine-banded armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1986
The epithalamus of embryonic, neonatal and adult nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) was examined for evidence of pineal-like tissue. The evagination of the diencephalic roof (the anlage of the epiphysis) was not found in any embryonic specimens.

Influences on Vigilance in Nine‐banded Armadillos

Ethology, 1995
AbstractFunctional aspects of vigilance in nine‐banded armadillos (Edentata: Dasypus novemcinctus) were investigated. Data on solitary individuals revealed few age or sex differences in time spent vigilant. However, vigilance increased in most social contexts and was highest during intraspecific agonistic encounters.

Ultrastructure of the parotid gland of the nine‐banded armadillo

The Anatomical Record, 1977
AbstractThe parotid gland of the nine‐banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) was examined by electron microscopy. In general, the ultrastructural morphology of this gland appears similar to that described in other species. The most unusual feature of the gland is that the secretory granules of the acinar cells contain a wide variety of substructures ...

Spermiogenesis in the Nine-Banded Armadillo

Proceedings, annual meeting, Electron Microscopy Society of America, 1973
The testes of mature armadillos were fixed by either perfusion or immersion. The morphology of the seminiferous tubules and the process of spermiogenesis were studied.The developing spermatids are generally oval in shape and contain a centrally placed nucleus.

The Nine-Banded Armadillo In Texas and the South

Journal of Cultural Geography, 1981
Americans have contributed directly and indirectly to the relatively rapid spread of the nine-handed armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) in the United States. Curiosity about its bizarre appearance and growing commerce in live animals and armadillo “baskets” made from its bony carapace or shell have resulted in the transportation and release of this ...

The Nine-Banded Armadillo

1996
Order Edentata (Xenarthra), the “toothless” mammals, consists of only three families: armadillos, sloths, and anteaters. Edentata flourished in the Lower Tertiary Age (30 MYA), but only these three genera have survived. Until recently, there were a number of species with and without teeth that were confined to South America.

Morphology of the prostate gland in the nine-banded armadillo

Cells Tissues Organs, 1980
The prostate of the nine-banded armadillo is a compound tubulo-alveolar, bilobed gland situated on the ventral surface of the seminal vesicles. The two lobes, which may be connected by a narrow isthmus of tissue, are encapsulated by a thin layer of connective tissue and are located peripheral to the urethral musculature.

Myoglobin: Quantification in the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcintus)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1976
1. 1. Myoglobin from the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcintus) was purified on Sephadex G-75. The absorption spectrum and extinction coefficients for HbCO and MbCO were determined between 520 and 590 nm and used to quantify myoglobin within the heart, diaphragm, thigh, triceps and gastrocnemis in six adults and one juvenile. 2. 2.
