11	Resorption of phosphate, calcium and magnesium in the in vitro locust rectum Andrusiak, Edward William January 1974 (has links) The ability of the locust rectum in vitro to resorb Ca⁺⁺, Mg⁺⁺ , and PO₄ was studied. The rectum has a low permeability to Ca⁺, but Ca⁺ is not accumulated against concentration differences. Mg⁺ was not accumulated in the basal compartment of the rectal sac even when Mg⁺ concentration gradients were favourable for net diffusion. Phosphate was found to be accumulated by the rectum against a threefold concentration difference. The rectal tissue incorporated inorganic phosphate into organic forms, but phosphorus transferred into the basal compartment was found to be in the form of inorganic phosphate. Uptake into the basal compartment can be described by Michaelis-Menton saturation kinetics. The resorption of water by the rectum did not increase (by solute drag) the amount of PO₄ accumulated in the basal compartment, except at very high PO₄ concentrations in the apical bathing medium. Metabolic poisons such as KCN and IAA inhibited PO₄ accumulation in the basal compartment but did not inhibit PO₄ entry into the tissue from the apical bathing medium. Arsenate, a competitive inhibitor of PO₄ uptake in other systems, inhibited PO₄ entry into the tissue. A mechanism for PCL uptake into the tissue is proposed. / Science, Faculty of / Zoology, Department of / Graduate Locusts

15	The respiratory system of the Carolina locust (Dissosteira carolina Linn.) Vinal, Stuart Cunningham 01 January 1917 (has links) (PDF) The present paper, which is offered as a portion of a thesis for the degree of Master of Science at the Massachusetts Agricultural College, is one of a series of studies being conducted at this institution on the anatomy of the Carolina locust for the purpose of furnishing a description of the morphology of a common and widely distributed insect which is both primitive in its organization and of sufficient size to be readily dissected. In the preparation of this paper I have received much encouragement and assistance from Dr. H. T. Fernald, Dr. G. C. Crampton, and Dr. V. S. Regan, and I would take this opportunity of expressing my appreciation of their kindly interest and advice* Locusts
