Diving and Asphyxia: A Comparative Study of Animals and Man (Monographs of the Physiological Society)

First published in 1983, this ebook matters the comparative physiological diversifications of vertebrate animals, particularly mammals, to cessation of respiring. those variations have been initially pointed out in species residing in aquatic habitats. The argument is gifted that the usual divers reveal a well-developed and with ease studied instance of a extra basic defence opposed to asphyxia.

The Human Brain and Spinal Cord: Functional Neuroanatomy and Dissection Guide

This booklet used to be written to serve either as a advisor for the dissection of the human mind and as an illustrated compendium of the sensible anatomy of the mind and spinal twine. during this feel, the ebook represents an up-to-date and accelerated model of the ebook The Human mind and Spinal twine written through the writer and released in Swedish through Scandinavian collage Books in 1961.

In nonmuscle cells tropomyosins may have other functions in addition to modulating actin-myosin interactions. , 1989), perhaps by direct binding competition or conceivably by a direct interaction between gelsolin and tropomyosin (Koepf & Burtnick, 1992). The larger tropomyosin isotypes are more effective in gelsolin inhibition than the small isotypes. , 1991a). , 1989). Like tropomyosin, caldesmon exists as a large form in muscle, and as a smaller form in nonmuscle cells. In the latter tissues it is thought that caldesmon may regulate acto-myosin interactions in a calcium sensitive manner (Walsh, 1993).

There are eight distinct annexin types in mammals, and possibly several more. An actin binding motif has been identified (Table 8), which is within an annexin repeat and thus present in a recognizable form in many of the group members. Annexin VI has two of these actin binding repeats and this may explain its unique ability (within the annexins) to bundle actin and localize to bundles within the cell. The apparent conserved actin binding motif probably means that actin binding is a general property of the annexins.
