The authors studied the morphology and anatomy of the olfactory organs of the marine fish Thynnus thunnina. The fish has a single nasal orifice. The round olfactory rosette has a central axis surrounded by radially oriented lamellae. The olfactory rosette (olfactory organ) is provided with two accessory nasal sacs - a lacrimal and an ethmoidal sac. Thynnus thunnina was classified in Teichmann's (1954) group II, i.e., the "eye-fishes", whose vision is better developed than their olfaction. 相似文献

In larval sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus), a small, relatively inconspicuous olfactory organ sac contains small, densely packed olfactory receptor neurons and sustentacular cells. During metamorphosis, the larval organ transforms into a prominent lamellar structure with large distinct olfactory epithelial cells that is characteristic of the adult lamprey. In the present study, scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy are used to examine changes during the seven stages (1–7) of metamorphosis. The magnitude of growth over the course of metamorphosis is evident from the doubling of the relative weight of the nasal sac. During early metamorphosis (stages 1 and 2), the larval olfactory organ enlarges, and by stage 3 specific adult structures begin to form, namely a nasal valve between the nasal tube and the organ, lamellar folds, and diverticuli of the accessory olfactory organ. Subsequent development involves widening of the cells lining the lamellar folds to the form characteristic of postmetamorphic lampreys. Although the cells in the troughs initially retain numerical density values that are significantly higher than those on the lamellar surfaces, by stage 7 values decline both in troughs and along lamellar surfaces to those observed in adults. These results show that although expansion of the olfactory organ is ongoing throughout metamorphosis, remodeling occurs early (by stage 3). This timing provides space for extensive olfactory receptor neuron neurogenesis and differentiation and correlates with the transformation of some organs that were previously examined. This is the first report in any species of olfactory receptor neuron zonation based on morphometric characteristics. J. Morphol. 231:41–52, 1997. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

除单鼻型的圆口类外, 脊椎动物的左、右两侧嗅觉器官和嗅神经皆互为独立地分布于头前端, 而且它们的前鼻孔(外鼻孔)、嗅腔、嗅觉副囊腔(部分鱼具嗅觉副囊)与后鼻孔(或内鼻孔)也都互为相通, 且多呈开放状态。它们还通常具有一个体积相对较大且较稳定的嗅腔, 而嗅上皮则多位于嗅腔的一侧。此外, 鱼类的嗅囊与鼻窝之间通常也无明显间隙。然而, 运用常规的解剖学方法发现, 黄鳝(Monopterus albus)外周嗅觉系统(嗅觉器官和嗅神经)在解剖结构上已发生如下重大变化: (1)虽然具有前、后鼻孔, 但两者互不相通, 而嗅腔仅靠前鼻孔通至外界; (2)两侧嗅囊的末端及两侧嗅神经的前段均分别发生了合并。此外, 在该鱼上还发现:(1)嗅囊为一柔软而扁塌的长管囊结构, 其唯一的开口(即位于前鼻孔球上的前鼻孔)却常呈关闭状, 故此时该嗅腔实际上是一个体积被压扁到最小且暂时被封闭的空间; (2)嗅囊纵向地贴附于长鼻窝的内侧壁上, 它仅占鼻窝的一小部分空间, 故鼻窝显得相对很宽敞; (3)嗅觉副囊不与嗅腔相通, 而与鼻窝共同经后鼻孔通至外界; (4)两侧嗅囊的末端相向地穿越鼻窝内侧壁, 进入筛骨与额骨之间的“筛-额横管”, 在那里发生嗅囊合并;(5)嗅囊壁周缘几乎都内衬着嗅上皮, 且具数个褶窝(说明该嗅囊有扩张的可能)。因此, 黄鳝的这套解剖学特征不同于包括鱼类在内的所有脊椎动物的外周嗅觉系统。研究所发现的黄鳝这套形态学特征不仅为脊椎动物外周嗅觉系统的研究提供了一个独特的解剖学新模型, 同时也为动物进化研究提供了一个有关前、后鼻孔互不相通的进化特例。此外, 研究还依据上述发现提出嗅囊扩张-压缩假说以解释气味媒质进出于黄鳝这种特殊嗅腔的动力学机制。

The infection pattern of Kroeyerina elongata (Kroyeriidae, Copepoda) in the olfactory sacs of the blue shark, Prionace glauca, was investigated using 4,722 copepods from 54 olfactory sacs. Copepod prevalence and mean intensity of infection per olfactory sac were 94.0 and 91.1%, respectively, and the most intensely infected olfactory sac and shark hosted 218 and 409 copepods, respectively. There were significant linear relationships between the number of female and total copepods per left olfactory sac and shark fork length as well as between the numbers of female, male, and total copepods per shark and mean olfactory sac width and cumulative olfactory sac width. Female copepods typically outnumbered males within olfactory sacs (mean intensity = 65.7 and 26.3, respectively), and no statistical differences were detected between the numbers of copepods inhabiting the left and right olfactory sacs. Copepods were not evenly distributed within olfactory sacs. Typically, female copepods occupied olfactory chambers located centrally along the length of the olfactory sac, while males infected lateral olfactory chambers nearest the naris. The orientation of most copepods (84.6%) suggested positive rheotaxis relative to the path of water through the olfactory sac. Within olfactory chambers, most mature females (68.2%) infected the first third of the peripheral excurrent channel and the adjacent fringe of olfactory lamellae, while most males (91.7%) infected the olfactory lamellae, and the 4 larval females collected were attached within the lamellar field and grasped by males. Based on the observed infection patterns and the pattern of water flow throughout the olfactory sac, a hypothesis regarding the life cycle of K. elongata is advanced wherein infective copepodids are swept into the olfactory sac from the surrounding sea and initially colonize the olfactory lamellae. Copepodids feed and mature among the olfactory lamellae, and adult males search for mates and copulate with young females among the olfactory lamellae. Inseminated females move to the peripheral excurrent channels to mature and produce ovisacs. Hatching ovisacs release free-swimming nauplii into the excurrent water flow to be swept into the milieu, where they can molt into infective copepodids that may infect new hosts. 相似文献

Abstract The vomeronasal organ in the frog, genus Rana, is composed of three interconnected cavities; superior, middle and inferior, which are separated from and anterior to the principal olfactory cavity. The superior cavity is found just underneath the external naris and forms a vestibule both for the principal olfactory organ and the vomeronasal organ. The vomeronasal sensory epithelium is located in the medial region of the inferior cavity and contains ciliated cells and microvillous receptor cells. Inspection of microscopic sections of frogs that had been swimming in fluorescent colorants revealed fluorescence on the surface of the vomeronasal organ, but not on that of the olfactory organ. Observations in vivo show that water enters via the external naris by two fissures, one on each side of the movable nasal lid, passes the middle cavity to flow via the sensory epithelium of the inferior cavity. The design of the frog nose makes it possible for this amphibious animal to sample the chemical composition of its environment; above water the frog can inhale air and expose its olfactory organ to volatile substances; in water the vomeronasal organ samples water-borne substances. These new findings are discussed in relation to the air/water interface and the position of the amphibians in the evolution of terrestrial vertebrates. 相似文献

The position and structure of the olfactory organ and its openings vary among actinopterygians. The anterior nasal opening is a simple perforation in the skin in many extant actinopterygians (e.g., acipenseriforms, lepisosteids, and primitive Recent teleosts) and represents the primitive condition. Polypterids and Amia each exhibit a derived condition, in which the anterior nasal opening extends into a tube. The olfactory organ is relatively far away from the anterior end of the elongate rostrum in acipenseriforms, whereas the olfactory organs are closer to the anterior end of the snout in extant actinopterygians (e.g., polypterids, lepisosteids, and amiids). In adults, olfactory organs are cuplike structures in most actinopterygians, but these organs are tubelike in polypterids. Among extant actinopterygians, a nasal diverticulum is present only in polypterids. Teleosts have accessory nasal sacs, but chondrosteans, polypterids, lepisosteids, and amiids lack them. The olfactory rosette is formed by primary folds or lamellae that may be placed anterior, lateral, posterior, and/or medial to the axis of the organ. Large acipenserids have 20–32 lamellae, polyodontids have 13–18 lamellae, lepisosteids have 8–10 lamellae, and Amia may have over 100. In teleosts, the number of lamellae varies from none or a few to over 200. Secondary lamellae are present in acipenseriforms, lepisosteids, and some advanced teleosts; secondary lamellae are interpreted as independently acquired in these lineages. Secondary lamellae are absent in Amia and primitive teleosts such as Elops and Hiodon. Tertiary lamellae are present in Acipenser oxyrhynchus. The arrangement of the primary lamellae in relation to the axis of the organ results in at least 11 patterns of the olfactory rosette in actinopterygians. Lamellae that are enclosed in a tubelike sac and that have an anteromedial diverticulum are specializations of polypterids. Primary lamellae anterior, lateral, and posterior to an elongate axis are characteristic of lepisosteids. The presence of primary lamellae lateral, medial, and posterior to an elongate olfactory axis is a synapomorphy of Halecomorpha (Amia plus teleosts). The absence of secondary lamellae is a synapomorphy of Halecomorpha. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

The functional morphology of the olfactory organ in Spinachia spinachia (L.), which has only a single nare, was studied by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and experimental investigations. It was shown that only the incoming water passes over the olfactory epithelium. The device for ventilating this olfactory organ is an accessory ventilation sac activated by respiratory pressure changes in the buccal cavity. This one-way water current over the olfactory epithelium in a monotrematous olfactory organ was found to be possible because of the morphology of the olfactory organ combined with movements of the lateral wall of the olfactory organ and the nasal tube during respiration. The olfactory epithelium is divided into irregular islets. Both ciliated receptor cells and microvillous receptor cells are present. 相似文献

用光镜观察了4种两栖爬行动物嗅器和犁鼻器的组织结构.结果显示,北方山溪鲵(Batrachuperus tibetanus)鼻囊内开始分化出犁鼻器,犁鼻器位于嗅器的腹外侧,但犁鼻器还不发达;隆肛蛙(Feirana quadranus)犁鼻器与嗅器虽然共同位于鼻囊内,但犁鼻器较为发达且其周围有发达的犁鼻腺,犁鼻器通过一细小管道与嗅器相通;秦岭蝮(Gloydius qinlingensis)和菜花烙铁头(Trimeresurus jerdonii)犁鼻腔与鼻腔已经完全分离形成两个独立的囊,而且鼻腔又进一步分化为嗅部与呼吸部.说明犁鼻器从有尾两栖动物开始出现,至无尾两栖类开始分化,到蛇类高度发达且成为一个独立器官.犁鼻器的形成是脊椎动物适应陆地生活的直接结果,是四足动物的特征之一. 相似文献

Periophthalmus barbarus Linnaeus, 1766 has many adaptations for amphibious life as a consequence of tidal zone occupation. One of them is the ability to keep a little amount of water and air in mouth while on land or in hypoxic water, correlated with closing a gill lid for gas exchange improvement. It causes that mechanisms of olfactory organ ventilation described in other species of actinopterygians (compression of accessory nasal sac(s) by the skull and jaw elements while mouth and gill lid moving) are not in operation. There is a specific mechanism of olfactory organ ventilation independent on jaw and skull elements movements. Compression of accessory nasal sacs is possible by a0 contraction and it is a movement effect on bones combined by ligaments. This process can be observed on P. barbarus as lifting the rostral part of the head. 相似文献

The nasal placode was extirpated unilaterally in Gosner stage 18–20 embryos of Rana sylvatica, R. palustris and R. pipiens, in order to test alternative proposed schemes of homology for the ethmoidal attachment of the palatoquadrate in anurans and urodeles. Absence of the nasal sac has no pronounced effect on the formation of larval chondrocranial structures. In contrast, in metamorphosed animals the lamina orbitonasalis and inferior prenasal process are the only nasal capsule structures present on the operated side. The medial nasal branch of the deep ophthalmic nerve passes forward over the dorsal surface of the lamina orbitonasalis, rather than through an orbitonasal foramen. Comparison with previous experimental work on urodeles supports the traditional homology of the anuran lamina orbitonasalis with the antorbital process of urodeles and other vertebrates. J.

Ergasilus megaceros (Copepoda: Ergasilidae) was recovered from the nasal fossae (lamellae) of the olfactory sac in 1 (1.8%) of 56 sea lampreys, Petromyzon marinus Linne, 1758, collected in May 2002 from the Cheboygan River, Michigan. Although the sea lamprey is a new host record for E. megaceros, this fish species may not be a preferred host because of its low prevalence. Ergasilus megaceros is the second ergasilid species reported from the sea lamprey in North America. This is the third report of an ergasilid species infecting the nasal fossae of fishes in North America, with E. rhinos being the only other species reported from this site. 相似文献

Using histological techniques and computer‐aided three‐dimensional reconstructions of histological serial sections, we studied the development of the olfactory and vomeronasal organs in the discoglossid frog Discoglossus pictus. The olfactory epithelium in larval D. pictus represents one continuous unit of tissue not divided into two separate portions. However, a small pouch of olfactory epithelium (the “ventromedial diverticulum”) is embedded into the roof of the buccal cavity, anteromedial to the internal naris. The lateral appendix is present in D. pictus through the entire larval period and disappears during the onset of metamorphosis. The disappearance of the lateral appendix at this time suggests that it is a typical larval organ related to aquatic life. The vomeronasal organ develops during hindlimb development, which is comparatively late for anurans. The development of the vomeronasal organ in D. pictus follows the same general developmental pattern recognized for neobatrachians. As with most anurans, the vomeronasal glands appear later than the vomeronasal organ. After metamorphosis, the olfactory organ of adult D. pictus is composed of a series of three interconnected chambers: the cavum principale, cavum medium, and cavum inferius. We suggest that the ventromedial diverticulum at the anterior border of the internal naris of larval D. pictus might be homologous with the ventral olfactory epithelium of bufonids and with the similar diverticulum of Alytes.

Stewartiotheca gen. n. is a bell-shaped, unisynangiate pollen organ with eccentric radial symmetry and a single series of about 80 pollen sacs. Infoldings that vary in depth occur circumferentially and extend from the periphery to a point off center. This position also marks the location of a sclerenchyma column (proximally) and a sclerenchyma-lined, conical hollow (distally) that opens onto the distal face of the organ. Plates of ground parenchyma extend inward from the outer covering of the organ at locations of infoldings, while similar plates with sclerenchyma strands occur between these locations. Pre-pollen of Monoletes type was released through distal longitudinal slitlike openings of the pollen sac faces toward the sclerenchymatous ground tissue plates. Vascular bundles entering the organ undergo repeated dichotomies, and lead to numerous bundles both in the cover (one per sac for those sacs that abut directly on cover tissue) and internally (one per pair of pollen sacs that lie opposite one another across the location of an infolding). The most complex permineralized medullosan pollen organs Sullitheca, Stewartiotheca, and Dolerotheca are considered to have evolved from a similar type of cup-shaped organ with a single ring of pollen sacs, broadly open distally, and with a central hollow. Circumferential infoldings of one organ of this type were involved in the origin of both Stewartiotheca and Sullitheca, while four similar organs, each showing infoldings non-circumferentially, fused to produce the Dolerotheca type organ (exemplified by D. formosa), a compound synangium. 相似文献

An ontogenetic analysis of the olfactory organ and the number and distribution of internal taste buds was carried out in two neon gobies (Elacatinus lori and Elacatinus colini) with the goal of revealing morphological trends that might inform an understanding of the roles of olfaction and taste in larval orientation behaviour. The pattern of development of the olfactory organ is unremarkable and enclosure of the olfactory epithelium occurs concurrently with metamorphosis and settlement in both species. Like other gobies, juvenile and adult E. lori and E. colini lack complex olfactory lamellae, and lack the accessory nasal sacs present in some adult gobies that could facilitate active olfactory ventilation (i.e., sniffing). A small number of internal taste buds are present at hatch with most found in the caudal region of the buccal cavity (on gill arches, roof of buccal cavity). As taste bud number increases, they demonstrate an anterior spread to the lips, buccal valves and tongue (i.e., tissue covering the basihyal). In the absence of an active ventilatory mechanism for the olfactory organs, the water that moves through the buccal cavity with cyclic gill ventilation may provide chemical cues allowing the internal taste buds to play a role in chemical-mediated orientation and reef-seeking behavior in pelagic larval fishes. 相似文献

Three-dimensionally preserved and chemically prepared skulls and natural casts of representatives of the families Benthosuchidae, Melosauridae, and Capitosauridae yield data on the structure of the ethmoidal endocranium, i. e. of those nasal cranial structures that consisted originally of cartilage. This study demonstrates that the ethmoidal endocranium was principally a dorsoventrally compressed plate, pierced by a broad and oblique canal which communicated anteriorly with the outer dorsal surface by the fenestra endonarina and posteriorly with the mouth cavity by the fenestra endochoanalis(seu foris). The canal was very short, and housed the olfactory organ. The ethmoidal endocranium was connected with the palatoquadrate by the commissura quadratocranialis anterior; there was no lateral ethmoidal commissure, however, in older individuals the anterior section of the palatoquadrate might also contact the postchoanal part of the nasal endocranial skeleton. 相似文献

This first comprehensive study of the peripheral olfactory organ from a representative of the large and economically important order of teleost fishes, the Perciformes, shows a compact structure with olfactory sensory neurons distributed widely throughout the olfactory chamber. The spatial organization of the nasal cavity in the bottom-dwelling round goby (Gobiidae, Neogobius melanostomus) was examined using impression material injection, immunocytochemistry, and transmission electron microscopy. The olfactory chamber contains a single olfactory lamella; prominent dorsocaudal lachrymal and ethmoidal accessory nasal sacs are situated ventrocaudal to the chamber. The location of the olfactory mucosa within the olfactory chamber is novel for teleost fish, as it extends beyond the ventral surface to the lateral and dorsal regions. Microvillar olfactory sensory neurons and ciliated olfactory sensory neurons were identified by transmission electron microscopy and the spatial distribution of these two cell types was assessed through immunocytochemistry against olfactory receptor coupled G-proteins. Both G(alphaolf)-immunoreactive ciliated olfactory sensory neurons and the G(alphao)-immunoreactive microvillar form were located throughout the olfactory epithelium. Ciliated crypt cells were G(alphao) immunoreactive and were found throughout the olfactory epithelium of some specimens. The widespread occurrence of olfactory sensory neurons in the olfactory chamber supports the idea that olfactory signaling is important to the survival of the round goby. The prominence of the lachrymal and ethmoidal accessory nasal sacs indicates the capacity to regulate the flow of odorant molecules over the sensory surface of the olfactory sensory neurons, possibly through a pump-like mechanism driven by opercular activity associated with gill ventilation. 相似文献

The oval olfactory rosette of the carp Labeo rohita belongs to Burne's ('09) rosette column one or to Bateson's (1889) rosette type three. The total olfactory area of the fish is greater than its total retinal area; however, it has been classified with Teichmann's ('54) group of eye-nose fishes. Each olfactory chamber communicates with an anterior, ventral accessory sac; in spite of Burne's ('09) observation that accessory sacs are absent in carps. Movements of the jaw bones dilate and compress the accessory sac. Water is drawn in through the posterior opening (and not through the anterior as suggested by Liermann, '33, and Johnson and Brown, '62) and also expelled through it when the mouth opens and closes for normal respiratory function. Hence, the accessory sac does not draw water across the olfactory rosette through the anterior opening. At intervals, the fish opens its mouth full and wide and draws water into the chamber through the anterior opening as well. 相似文献

The gross structure of the nasal cavities and the distributionof the various types of epithelium lining them are describedbriefly; each living order of amphibians and reptiles possessesa characteristic and distinctive pattern. In most groups thereare two sensory areas, one lined by olfactory epithelium withnerve libers leading to the main olfactory bulb and the otherby vomeronasal epithelium with fibers to the accessory bulb.All amniotes except turtles have the vomeronasal epitheliumin a ventromedial outpocketing of the nose, the Jacobson's organ,and have one or more conchae projecting into the nasal cavityfrom the lateral wall. Although urodeles and turtles possessthe simplest nasal structure, it is not possible to show thatthey are primitive or to define a basic pattern for either amphibiansor reptiles; all the living orders are specialized and the nasalanatomy of extinct orders is unknown. Thus it is impossible,at present, to give a convincing picture of the course of nasalevolution in the lower tetrapods. 相似文献
