概括
狮子鱼使用附着在游泳膀的声音肌肉进行语音交流. 研究发现,这些肌肉与狮子鱼物种的年龄或性别无关.
科学领域:
- 鱼类学
- 生物声学
- 功能形态
背景情况:
- 声音信号对于鱼类的沟通至关重要.
- 狮子鱼 (Pterois volitans和Pterois miles) 拥有声音产生肌肉,但其机制和功能尚不清楚.
- 了解这些声音对于入侵物种管理很重要.
研究的目的:
- 使用3D生物成像解剖描述P. volitans和P. miles的声肌.
- 量化P. volitans体内的音质肌肉发育.
- 测试声音肌肉中的性二态, 表明性选择中的作用.
主要方法:
- 使用三维生物成像可视化声波肌肉解剖学.
- 量化了P. volitans的声音肌肉,以分析本体遗传和性变异.
- 测量肌肉的长度和质量与人体大小相关.
主要成果:
- 无论是P. volitans还是P. miles,它们都具有配对的外声性游泳膀肌肉 (ESSM) 和与游泳膀相关的额外前部外体肌肉.
- 在P. volitans的整个生殖过程中,有声肌肉.
- 两性或不同发育阶段的声音肌肉投资没有显著差异.
结论:
- 这种声音肌肉很可能在狮子鱼的浮力控制和声音产生中起作用.
- 性二态性缺失表明,声音肌肉可能不是主要由这些物种的性选择驱动的.
- 身体大小似乎是影响声肌大小的关键因素,可能是由于与浮力调节相关的约束.

Muscles for Facial Expressions
2.7K
The craniofacial muscles are a collection of approximately 20 thin skeletal muscles situated beneath the skin of the face and scalp. These muscles, primarily responsible for the vast array of human facial expressions, originate from the bones or fibrous structures of the skull and extend outwards to connect with the skin. While most skeletal muscles in the body are enveloped in thick fascia, facial muscles generally have a more delicate fascial covering, with the buccinator muscle being a...

Specialized Characteristics of Cardiac Muscles
2.8K
The primary role of cardiac muscles is to propel blood throughout the cardiovascular system. The cardiac muscle cells, or cardiomyocytes, exhibit specialized characteristics that allow them to perform this function.
Cardiac muscle cells are smaller than skeletal muscles, averaging 10–20 mm in diameter and 50–100 mm in length. However, they have large energy demands for continuous contraction and relaxation. This energy is almost exclusively derived from aerobic metabolism of energy...

Excitation-Contraction Coupling in Skeletal Muscles
9.4K
Excitation-contraction coupling is a series of events that occur between generating an action potential and initiating a muscle contraction. It occurs at the triad, a structure found in skeletal muscle fibers that comprise a T-tubule and terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum on each side. These triads are visible in longitudinally sectioned muscle fibers. They are typically located at the A-I junction — the junction between the A and I bands of the sarcomere.

Structure of Cardiac Muscles
14.1K
Cardiac muscle, or myocardium, is a specialized type of muscle found exclusively in the heart. Its unique structural and functional characteristics enable the heart to perform its vital role of pumping blood throughout the body continuously and rhythmically. The cardiac muscle cells, or cardiomyocytes, possess an endomysium and perimysium but do not have an epimysium.
Compared to skeletal muscles, cardiac muscle cells are small and mostly have a single nucleus. Additionally, they are usually...

Structure and Organization of Smooth Muscles
6.1K
Smooth muscle tissue is a type of muscle tissue that can be found lining various vital organs in the human body, including the lungs, blood vessels, digestive tract, and respiratory tract. This type of tissue is responsible for regulating the movements of these organs, playing crucial roles in the functioning of various systems, including the vascular, digestive, respiratory, and urinary systems.
