The Venom Glands of Snakes and Venom Secretion
1979The origin of snake venom has been variously ascribed to different body organs. The idea that the venom virulence depends on the snake’s anger led to a famous controversy in the late 17 th century. Redi, an Italien biologist, ascribed the dangerous nature of the venom to the yellow liquid issuing from the fangs, while the French chemist, Charas ...

Venoms and Venom Glands of Marine Molluscs
1984The phylum Mollusca, consisting of about 100,000 living species, is divided into seven classes. Venom glands occur in molluscs belonging to the classes Gastropoda and Cephalopoda. Toxins acquired from the environment, such as paralytic shellfish poisons, are found in certain Pelecypoda (bivalves), but also some gastropods have been found to accumulate ...

Melanin deposits associated with the venom glands of snakes
Journal of Morphology, 1978AbstractMelanin deposits in the heads of both true vipers (Viperinae) and pit vipers (Crotalinae) are concentrated over the dorsal and dorsolateral aspects of the venom glands. This pigment may occur in any or all of six sites which include the epidermis, dermis, tissues covering the venom glands, and the interior of the glands themselves.

The structure of the venom gland of stonefish Synanceja Horrida
Toxicon, 1993The structure of the venom gland of stonefish Synanceja horrida was studied using light microscopy, and transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The glands were covered with a fibrous capsule which divided the glandular tissue into many septa which carried numerous nerves and blood vessels.

Tissue and Cell, 2002
Using immunoelectronmicroscopy we analyzed qualitative and quantitatively the intracellular distribution of bothropasin, hemorrhagic factor 2 (HF2) and hemorrhagic factor 3 (HF3) in the venom secretory cells from adult snakes in the active (7 days after venom extraction) and in the resting (without venom extraction for 40 days) stages of protein ...

Venom gland and reservoir morphology in cynipoid wasps
Arthropod Structure & Development, 2006The venom apparatus morphology was examined in 25 species of Cynipoidea, representing 11 parasitoid taxa; 12 gall inducers and two inquilines. Typically the venom apparatus consists of an oval or bilobed reservoir connected to the ovipositor apparatus by a very short venom duct at the anterior end and to a single elongate unbranched venom gland at or ...

Integration of proteomic and transcriptomic data of the venom and venom gland from Tityus jaimei
Journal of ProteomicsThis work presents a comprehensive transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of the venom gland and venom of Tityus jaimei, a recently described scorpion species of medical relevance in Panama and Costa Rica. High-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) enabled the identification of a diverse repertoire of venom proteins ...
