Oogenesis in <i>Xenopus laevis</i> (Daudin). I. Stages of oocyte development in laboratory maintained animals

James N. Dumont · 1 Feb 1972

Abstract Oogenesis in the anuran Xenopus laevis can be divided into six stages based on the anatomy of the developing oocyte. Stage I consists of small (50 to 100 μ) colorless oocytes whose cytoplasm is transparent. Their large nuclei and mitochondrial masses are clearly visible in the intact oocyte. Stage II oocytes range up to…

Architecture of the hind limb muscles of cats: Functional significance

Robert D. Sacks, Roland R. Roy · 1 Aug 1982

Force, velocity, and displacement properties of a muscle are determined in large part by its architectural design. The relative effect of muscle architecture on these physiological variables was studied by determining muscle weight, fiber length, average sarcomere length, and approximate angle of pinnation of 24 cat hind limb muscles. Muscle lengths ranged from 28.3 to…

Stages of oocyte development in the zebrafish, <i>Brachydanio rerio</i>

Kelly Selman, Robin A. Wallace, Andrew Sarka et al. · 1 Nov 1993

Oocyte development has been divided into five stages in the zebrafish Brachydanio rerio, based on morphological criteria and on physiological and biochemical events. In stage I (primary growth stage), oocytes reside in nests with other oocytes (Stage IA) and then within a definitive follicle (Stage IB), where they greatly increase in size. In stage II…

The cat step cycle: Hind limb joint angles and muscle lengths during unrestrained locomotion

George E. Goslow, Robert M. Reinking, Douglas G. Stuart · 1 Sep 1973

Abstract A cinematographic analysis of the unrestrained walking, trotting, galloping, jumping and landing movements of 11 adult cats was undertaken to provide previously unavailable information concerning the demands imposed on the nervous system for the control of low and high speed movements and the demands imposed by such natural movements on muscle performance and proprioceptive…
