谈焰茎球与焰细胞

无脊椎动物中有不少类群,如扁形动物、纽形动物、假体腔动物、头索动物和一些原始的环节动物,以及环节动物和软体动物的幼虫等,具有原肾管。原肾管的基本功能是排除动物体内过多的分,调节渗透压。在结构上。它是由外胚层内陷形成的具多分支的管状渗压调节系统(Osmoregulatory system)或称排泄器官。曲型的原肾管,在每个小分支的盲端具有一个球茎状的末端器,由于其顶端向腔内发出一束或几根鞭毛。不停地摆动犹如火焰.故称为焰球或焰茎球(flame bulb)。体内多余的水分是从这里进入管腔,并     

扩张莫尼茨绦虫(绦虫纲:圆叶目)卵黄细胞发育的超微结构

用透射电镜观察了扩张莫尼茨绦虫(Moniezia expansa)卵黄细胞发育的全过程。扩张莫尼茨绦虫卵黄细胞发育的规律为：(1)细胞体积不断增大;(2)质、核比不断增加而核体积几乎不发生改变,核表面从规则变为不规则,再由不规则变为规则,核内出现染色质浓缩成小块再分散的发育变化过程;(3)线粒体逐渐增多,发育不断完善;(4)粗面内质网及高尔基复合体出现由少到多,发育不断完善,再由多到少不断退化的变化;(5)由高尔基复合体组装的电子致密的小卵黄囊不断融合,至卵黄细胞成熟时仅有一卵黄囊,占据细胞大部分体积[动物学报49(2)：256—261,2003]。     

扩张莫尼茨绦虫(圆叶目:裸头科)节间腺的超微结构及组织化学

用光学显微镜和透射电子显微镜观察了扩张莫尼茨绦虫节间腺形成过程的精细结构及一些组化变化。结果表明：节间腺是扩张莫尼茨绦虫皮层的特化部分,由节片后缘的皮层及其邻近细胞体向绦虫实质组织中陷入开始其形成过程,随着虫体发育的进行,新的陷入不断形成,原陷入的部分不断脱离皮层形成簇状腺体结构。节间腺的数目随着体节的发育不断增加,幼节中仅有少数几个(6～9个),而远端的孕节中多于100个。电镜下可见腺细胞体由细胞质管与腺皮层相联,簇状腺体结构为一合胞体形态,腺细胞体围绕并开口于椭球体或不规则形状的皮层腔中。离腺皮层远的腺细胞体电子密度高并含有与腺皮层相应的典型分泌颗粒,而靠近腺皮层的腺细胞体电子密度低,所含分泌颗粒较少。扩张莫尼茨绦虫节间腺的组化性质尚不完全清楚。糖与蛋白质等组化结果不稳定,随染液pH值及染色时间的变化等多种因素而改变。基于我们的研究及其他研究者的观察表明,节间腺可能参与外源基质形成虫卵的转运,同时他们可能在虫体节片脱落及虫卵溢出时起作用。

喜树原形成层到形成层转化的研究

观察了枣树茎中原形成层到形成层的转化过程。距茎端0．5mm处,节间开始伸长之前,横切面上4—5个原形成束及束间的分生组织组成原形成层环。径向切面观,原形成层环呈现出较均一的结构。随着节间开始伸长,由于原形成层细胞发生假横向分裂,出现了长短两类细胞,长细胞多数端壁倾斜,短细胞多数端壁平截。以后,长细胞发育为纺缍状原始细胞,短细胞发育为射线原始细胞,部分射线原始细胞可以伸长井侵入生长而转化为纺缍状原始细胞。在节间伸长将停止时,此种转化基本完成。喜树为非叠生形成层,纺缍状原始细胞和射线原始细胞都有多核现象发生。

Ultrastructure of the protonephridial system, of Anoplodiscus cirrusspiralis (Monogenea Monopisthocotylea).

The flame bulb is formed by a terminal cell and a proximal canal cell. The weir consists of interdigitating ribs all of which form one circle, i.e. alternating ribs do not have distinctly 'internal' or 'external' positions. Cytoplasmic cords are absent and all ribs, i.e. those continuous with the proximal canal cell and those continuous with the terminal cell, form external leptotriches. At least some external leptotriches have interconnected branches extending along the flame bulb. Internal leptotriches are not branched and arise from the basal perikaryon of the terminal cell. In the cytoplasmic cylinder at the tip of the flame bulb, structures resembling incomplete septate junctions were seen. However, neither the cytoplasmic cylinder nor the small protonephridial capillaries contain complete septate junctions as found in all other Monogenea Polyopisthocotylea, Monogenea Monopisthocotylea, Trematoda Aspidogastrea and Trematoda Digenea examined to date. In the lack of a septate junction, Anoplodiscus resembles Udonella, Amphilinidea, Gyrocotylidea and Eucestoda. However, the presence in this species of rudimentary septate junctions in the small capillaries and of complete junctions in larger ones indicates that complete junctions have been secondarily lost. Anoplodiscus resembles the Monogenea and Trematoda in the presence of lamellae in the larger protonephridial ducts. For the first time in a monogenean, the ultrastructure of the excretory bladder is described. A nucleated convoluted duct opens through a narrow connecting duct into the bladder, which in turn opens through a narrow connecting duct into the excretory pore lined by tegument. Convoluted duct, connecting ducts and bladder are lined by a lamellated epitheliu.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Ultrastructure of the protonephridial system of regenerating Stenostomum sp. (Plathelminthes,Catenulida)

Summary The ultrastructure of the flame bulbs, protonephridial capillaries and duct of fully developed and regenerating Stenostomum sp. is described. Flame bulbs are formed by a single cell whose nucleus is located basally or laterally to the weir. The weir is formed by a single row of transverse ribs connected by a thin membrane, apparently of extracellular matrix. Internal leptotriches arise from the proximal cytoplasm and extend in a (usually) single row along the weir and into the lumen of the distal cytoplasmic tube. Many or all leptotriches do not fuse with the distal cytoplasm. Two cilia are each anchored in the proximal cytoplasm by a cross-striated vertical and lateral rootlet, the latter bent forward and extending for some distance into one of the two cytoplasmic cords along the weir. Each cord contains the lateral rootlet in its proximal part, as well as many microtubules. The distal cytoplasmic tube contains two (longitudinal) junctions, i.e. lines of contact between cell processes of the same, terminal cell. Occasionally, more than two junctions were seen, apparently due to branches of the terminal cell in contact with each other. Flame bulbs join capillaries lined by several canal cells type I, containing few or no microvilli but lateral flames. Such capillaries join a duct (or ducts?) lined by canal cells type II with many long microvilli. The large protonephridial duct is lined by numerous cells with lateral flames and many long microvilli. In regenerating tissue (10.5 hours after cutting) some flame bulbs were free, i.e. not connected to capillaries, and some capillaries openly communicated with the surrounding intercellular space. In the presence of a single row of ribs in the weir, of internal leptotriches, and of vertical and lateral ciliary rootlets, the flame bulb of Stenostomum sp. resembles that of other Plathelminthes much more closely than hitherto thought. The species differs from non-catenulid plathelminths mainly in the large number of glandular cells lining the large protonephridial ducts, in the transverse orientation of the ribs in the weir and in the presence of only two cilia in the flame.     

The ultrastructure of the protonephridial system of Götte's larva of Stylochus mediterraneus (Polycladida, Platyhelminthes)

The protonephridial system of Götte's larva of Stylochus mediterraneus was studied by electron microscopy. There is one protonephridium on each side of the body, formed by one terminal and one canal cell. The terminal filtration apparatus is formed by a single cell (the terminal cell) with several globular processes, the largest of which includes the nucleus. Fingers of cytoplasm (leptotriches) from each process penetrate the lumen surrounding the bundle of cilia and fingers from adjacent processes interdigitate to form a pattern of convoluted slits which constitute the weir. The single canal cell is inserted internally to the terminal cell at the top of the weir and encloses the lumen without a junction. Septate junctions are present between the terminal and canal cells. The lumen of the canal cell is smooth-walled for most of its length and cilia arise and terminate at all levels of the terminal and canal cells. Posterior to the larval mouth opening, the canal cell crosses the epithelium and the lumen ramifies to form the excretory opening. The terminal apparatus closely resembles that found in the freshwater planarian Bdellocephala brunnea .     

Ultrastructure of the protonephridium in Prostoma graecense (Bohmig) (Rhynchocoela, Enopla, Hoplonemertini)

Fine structure studies show that (1) the terminal cell is an elongated thin-walled and fenestrated basket with a multiciliary flame. Many short curved microvilli are confined to the cell lumen, while longer straight microvilli project from the cell's apical end into the proximal part of the protonephri-dial capillary, forming a sheath around the flame. The filtration area consists of slits between narrow cytoplasmic bars and is entirely confined to the terminal cell, which consequently is defined as a flame bulb, not closely similar to those of other phyla. (2) The protonephridial capillary is short and narrow, with few scattered cilia and luminal microvilli. (3) The coiled tubule is thick-walled, with several ciliated cells very rich in glycogen. The luminal border shows specializations probably concerned with modifying the ultrafiltrate.     

Ultrastructure of the protonephridial system of Dactylogyrus sp. and an unidentified ancyrocephaline (Monogenea: Dactylogyridae)

The ultrastructure of the flame bulbs and capillaries of the protonephridia of Dactylogyrus (probably anchoratus) from Carassius auratus in southeastern Australia, and of an unidentified ancyrocephaline from the marine teleost Priacanthus macracanthus in southern Queensland is described. The cilia of the flame are anchored in the terminal cell by means of basal bodies without distinct rootlets. The nucleus of the terminal cell is basal, and (in Dactylogyrus) partly lateral to the basal bodies. The weir consists of a row of internal and a row of external ribs (rods) connected by a ‘membrane’. The external ribs are continuations of the cytoplasm of a thick-walled ‘cytoplasmic cylinder’ (proximal canal cell) which tightly surrounds most of the flame and contains a septate junction; the internal ribs are continuous with the terminal cell. Internal leptotriches arise from the perikaryon of the terminal cell, and, in the ancyrocephaline, also from the internal ribs. The wall of the protonephridial capillaries contains a septate junction, a reticulum of interconnected spaces and, in the ancyrocephaline, also lamellae. Lateral flames are common in the capillaries of Dactylogyrus.     

Ultrastructure of the flame bulbs and protonephridial capillaries of Prorhynchus (Lecithoepitheliata, Prorhynchidae, Turbellaria)

The flame bulb of Prorhynchus is formed by a single cell. Its nucleus is not located in the cytoplasm at the base of the flame. Cilia of the flame have cross-striated hollow ciliary rootlets converging towards their tips. The maximum number of cilia counted was 13. The weir consists of a single row of longitudinal ribs that contain longitudinal filaments and possess regularly arranged protrusions along their surface appearing as transverse bands in horizontal section. A 'membrane' of extracellular material extends between the ribs. and loose material fills the places between the ribs, with a denser layer midway between adjacent ribs. Distally, the ribs fuse to form a continuous tube without a junction. Small protonephridial capillaries lack junctions, larger ducts have lateral flames and patches of long microvilli. Large excretory ducts open into a ciliated and lamellated cavity which is connected by a narrow canal to the excretory pore. The terminal part of the canal close to the pore possesses many cilia and microvilli. Phylogenetic implications of the findings are discussed.     

Ultrastructure of the Flame Bulbs and Protonephridial Capillaries of Artioposthia sp. (Platyhelminthes,Tricladida, Geoplanidae)

The protonephridial terminal complex of Artioposthia is formed by one or two terminal cells, each with a nucleus located in the lateral wall of the flame bulb, and probably two proximal canal cells forming the wall of the protonephridial capillary. The weir is restricted to the proximal parts of the flame bulbs and consists of convoluted slits separated by thick cytoplasmic columns. Cross-striated ciliary rootlets running parallel with and obliquely or transversely to the longitudinal axis of the flame bulbs strengthen the walls of the flame bulbs and, to a lesser degree, that of the capillary. Numerous cristate mitochondria are present in the terminal and proximal canal cells. Cytoplasmic processes extend from the terminal cells into the adjacent tissue, and narrow internal leptotriches extend from the cytoplasm of the terminal cells into the lumen of the flame bulbs. The wall of the capillary contains many interconnected, liquid filled spaces that communicate with the lumen of the capillary, and two septate junctions. Phylogenetic implications of the findings are discussed.     

Ultrastructure of flame cells and protonephridial capillaries of Craspedella and Didymorchis (Plathelminthes,Rhabdocoela)

Summary The ultrastructure of the flame cells and protonephridial capillaries of the Rhabdocoela Craspedella sp. and Didymorchis sp., ectocommensals on the freshwater crayfish Cherax destructor in eastern Australia is described. The flame cells of both species have variable numbers of cilia without distinct rootlets and with decreasing numbers of axonemal tubules towards the ciliary tips. Bundles of microtubules extend from the cytoplasm adjacent to the ciliary rootlets through the ribs of the weir apparatus into the distal cytoplasmic tube, where the numbers of microtubules gradually decrease. The weir apparatus is formed by a single row of longitudinal ribs connected by a membrane. In Craspedella, but not in Didymorchis, the ribs have external branched leptotriches. Mitochondria are common in the wall of the flame cell of both species. The protonephridial capillary just above the end of the ciliary tuft narrows in both species and bends sharply in Craspedella. The lumen of the flame cell and the capillary is lined by a dark layer of cytoplasm; there is no enlargement of the surface area by microvilli or lamellae. Centrioles were seen in the capillary wall of Craspedella, and in Didymorchis the cytoplasm around the capillaries has a very loose and light appearance. The ultrastructure of the flame cells and capillaries of both species corresponds closely to that of Temnocephala sp.Abbreviations in the figures BB basal body - CE centriole - L leptotrich - M microtubules - ME membrane of weir apparatus - MI mitochondrion - PC protonephridial capillary - R rib (rod) of weir apparatus     

Ultrastructure of excretory system in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bothrioplana semperi</Emphasis> (Platyhelminthes,Turbellaria)

The ultrastructure of flame bulbs and epithelium of excretory canals in Bothrioplana semperi (Turbellaria, Seriata) have been studied. The flame bulbs consist of two cells, the terminal cell and the proximal canal cell. The weir is formed by two rows of longitudinal ribs. The ribs of the internal row originate from the flame cell, external ribs are formed by the proximal canal cell. Each external rib has a remarkable bundle of microfilaments, originating in the cytoplasm of the first canal cell distally to the bases of external ribs. Membrane of internal ribs is marked by small electrondense granules, separate or fused to an electron-dense layer, continuous to dense “membrane,” connecting both external and internal ribs. Sparse internal leptotrichs originate from the bottom of the flame bulb cavity. External leptotrichs are lacking. Septate junction is present only in proximal canal cell at the level of tips of cilia. The apical surface of the canal cell bears rare short microvilli. The basal membrane of canal cells forms long invaginations that may reach nearly the apical membrane. The epithelium of excretory canals lacks the cilia. The ultrastructure of flame bulbs and epithelium of the excretory canals in B. semperi shares representatives of suborder Proseriata (Seriata). The contradiction exists in interpretation of the structure of flame bulbs in Proseriata. Ehlers and Sopott-Ehlers assumed that the external ribs are derivatives of the proximal canal cell and internal ones are outgrowths of the terminal cell, while Rohde has found conversely: the external ribs are outgrowths of the terminal cell, the internal ones are outgrowths of the proximal canal cell. However, the illustrations provided by Rohde do not enable to ascertain what cells the internal and external ribs derive from, while illustrations provided by Ehlers justify his interpretation. The order of weir formation in B. semperi confirms the viewpoint of Ehlers. The implication of ultrastructure of flame bulbs in Proseriata, especially of the order of flame bulb formation, in the Platyhelminthes phylogeny has been discussed.     

Ultrastructure of the Flame Bulbs and Protonephridial Capillaries of Microstomum sp. (Platyhelminthes,Macrostomida)

The terminal part of the protonephridia of Microstomum is formed by a branching proximal canal cell and (at least?) two terminal cells. Each weir consists of longitudinal (sometimes convoluted) ribs continuous with the cytoplasm of the terminal cell. Internal leptotriches arise from the terminal and proximal canal cells. Near the tip of the flame, the proximal canal cell tube is surrounded by the more external terminal cell and connected to it by a septate junction. Large cristate mitochondria are densely packed in the terminal and canal cells. The flame bulb of Microstomum differs markedly from that of other macrostomids (Macrostomum, Paramalostomum) examined. Phylogenetic implications are discussed.
