Histophysiology of Byssus Gland of Captive Mytilus viridis Revealed through Histochemistry
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Histochemical and Electron microscopic studies were carried out on byssus gland of Mytilus viridis (found along the coast of Gujarat) to get an idea of histophysiology of the gland of the animal during the conditions of chronic and acute starvation under laboratory conditions. Byssus production during chronic starvation is not impaired. During acute starvation byssus production is negligibly affected. Gland becomes paler in color during acute starvation as Tyrosine and Arginine are reduced during starvation. Tryptophan is not detected in the gland by histochemical staining during the periods of starvation. Amount of keratin and elastin does not change. The amount of mucins and sulphated sugars increase during starvation, this can be accounted to the stress condition arisen thereby. Light mucins increases and dense mucins decrease during starvation. Acid mucosubstances increase during starvation. Lipids stored at the posterior end of the foot are completely replenished during starvation however phospholipids are detected here.
