Pleon 2 fused segments Uropods Modified: hinge laterally along the pleon and pleotelson, enclosing the pleopods in a
branchial chamber Location Venice, California, USA, among macroalgae Cat.
The process of respiration in decapod crustaceans takes place by drawing the water stream into the
branchial chamber as it is circulated over gill surfaces where the exchange of gases occurs.
Recent studies suggested that iron oxide encrusted bacteria hosted in the
branchial chamber of R.
Changes in the oxygen tension of the
branchial chamber were measured during a closure response.
Forelimb development in most anurans, including the ranids, occurs within the
branchial chamber, under the skin.
Seven of the conglutinates in the posterior portion of the left gill were starting to ascend the oviducts toward the
branchial chamber. The inner gills and dorsal nonmarsupial portion of the outer gills were light brown.
For pericardial sinus pressures, the catheter tip was inserted through a 1-mm-diameter hole drilled just posterolateral to the ventricle and on the same side of the crab where infrabranchial sinus and
branchial chamber pressures were measured.
Gametes of brood oysters are fertilized at the ctenidia, and the embryos are released into the
branchial chamber of females.
100-300 glochidia into the right
branchial chamber. Each fish was exposed to glochidia only once.
consolidatum filled most of and were tightly lodged within the host's
branchial chamber, producing a characteristic bulge in the host's branchiostegite.
They concluded that the salinity receptors were located in or near the excurrent opening of the
branchial chambers. In the crayfish Procambarus simulans, the
branchial chamber also appears to be the location of receptors that mediate cardiovascular responses to changes in salinity (Larimer, 1964).
Thereafter, the crabs kept the mouthparts sealed, isolating the
branchial chamber. This sealing of the
branchial chambers has been reported previously for Cancer magister (Sugarman et al., 1980).
