Fine Structure Of The Spermatozoon Of Hydroides Hexagonus (Annelida), With Special Reference To The Acrosomal Region, Arthur L. Colwin, Laura Hunter Colwin Jun 1961

Fine Structure Of The Spermatozoon Of Hydroides Hexagonus (Annelida), With Special Reference To The Acrosomal Region, Arthur L. Colwin, Laura Hunter Colwin

Publications and Research

This paper describes in some detail the structure of the acrosomal region of the spermatozoon of Hydroides as a basis for subsequent papers which will deal with the structural changes which this region undergoes during fertilization. The material was osmium-fixed and mild centrifugation was used to aggregate the spermatozoa from collection to final embedding. The studies concern also the acrosomal regions of frozen-thawed sperm prepared by a method which previously had yielded extracts with egg membrane lytic activity. The plasma membrane closely envelops four readily recognizable regions of the spermatozoon: acrosomal, nuclear, mitochondrial, and flagellar. The acrosome consists of an …


Changes In The Spermatozoon During Fertilization In Hydroides Hexagonus (Annelida): Ii. Incorporation With The Egg, Arthur L. Colwin, Laura Hunter Colwin Jun 1961

Changes In The Spermatozoon During Fertilization In Hydroides Hexagonus (Annelida): Ii. Incorporation With The Egg, Arthur L. Colwin, Laura Hunter Colwin

Publications and Research

This, the last of a series of three papers, deals with the final events which lead to the incorporation of the spermatozoon with the egg. The material used consisted of moderately polyspermic eggs of Hydroides hexagonus, osmium-fixed at various times up to five minutes after insemination. The first direct contact of sperm head with egg proper is by means of the acrosomal tubules. These deeply indent the egg plasma membrane, and consequently at the apex of the sperm head the surfaces of the two gametes become interdigitated. But at first the sperm and egg plasma membranes maintain their identity and …


Changes In The Spermatozoon During Fertilization In Hydroides Hexagonus (Annelida): I. Passage Of The Acrosomal Region Through The Vitelline Membrane, Laura Hunter Colwin, Arthur L. Colwin Jun 1961

Changes In The Spermatozoon During Fertilization In Hydroides Hexagonus (Annelida): I. Passage Of The Acrosomal Region Through The Vitelline Membrane, Laura Hunter Colwin, Arthur L. Colwin

Publications and Research

In the previous paper the structure of the acrosomal region of the spermatozoon was described. The present paper describes the changes which this region undergoes during passage through the vitelline membrane. The material used consisted of moderately polyspermic eggs of Hydroides hexagonus, osmium-fixed usually 9 seconds after insemination. There are essentially four major changes in the acrosome during passage of the sperm head through the vitelline membrane. First, the acrosome breaks open apically by a kind of dehiscence which results in the formation of a well defined orifice. Around the lips of the orifice the edges of the plasma and …

Egg Membrane Lytic Activity Of Sperm Extract And Its Significance In Relation To Sperm Entry In Hydroides Hexagonus (Annelida), Arthur L. Colwin, Laura Hunter Colwin Apr 1960

Egg Membrane Lytic Activity Of Sperm Extract And Its Significance In Relation To Sperm Entry In Hydroides Hexagonus (Annelida), Arthur L. Colwin, Laura Hunter Colwin

Publications and Research

Previous electron microscope studies indicated that the individual spermatozoön of Hydroides hexagonus forms a hole in the vitelline membrane by means of lysis. Other observations established that the hole is real, being visible in living material during sperm entry. During the present investigation sea water extracts from frozen-thawed sperm were tested for lytic effect on the membrane. In normal living eggs the membrane appears as a single thick envelope, but in electron micrographs of sections it is seen to consist of a narrow outer border layer, a wide principal or middle layer, and a narrow inner border layer. After immersion …


Formation Of Sperm Entry Holes In The Vitelline Membrane Of Hydroides Hexagonus (Annelida) And Evidence Of Their Lytic Origin, Laura Hunter Colwin, Arthur L. Colwin Apr 1960

Formation Of Sperm Entry Holes In The Vitelline Membrane Of Hydroides Hexagonus (Annelida) And Evidence Of Their Lytic Origin, Laura Hunter Colwin, Arthur L. Colwin

Publications and Research

Electron micrographs of inseminated eggs of Hydroides hexagonus previously had shown that in the immediate vicinity of the penetrating spermatozoön a small portion of the vitelline membrane regularly was absent, and it had been suggested that this area was a hole made by lytic activity of the individual spermatozoön during the course of its passage through the membrane. This deduction would receive support if it could be established that a sperm entry hole does form in living material. During the present study a hole repeatedly observed and photographed in the membrane of living eggs was found to arise as the …

The Effect Of Ions Upon The Response Of Smooth Muscle To Cooling, Rita Guttman, Samuel M. Ross Sep 1958

The Effect Of Ions Upon The Response Of Smooth Muscle To Cooling, Rita Guttman, Samuel M. Ross

Publications and Research

The slow tonic responses of the anterior byssus retractor of Mytilus edulis to rapid cooling were investigated by simultaneously recording tension and resting potential changes after soaking the muscle in banthine, a powerful neuromuscular blocking agent. The quantitative relations between the amount of cooling and the amount of associated depolarization necessary for contraction at various concentrations of potentiating potassium can be expressed in a family of curves. The plateaus of the curves for sea water and for potassium-free sea water were beneath the depolarization value necessary for contraction, so that it is clear that no amount of cooling with sea …
