OSMOTIC RELATIONS IN MOLLUSCAN CONTRACTILE TISSUES I. ISOLATED VENTRICLE-STRIP PREPARATIONS FROM LAMELLI-
The bivalve molluscs include marine, estuarine and fresh-water forms, and they yield good heart and cilia preparations. Although the ecological distribution and powers of osmoregulation of several species have been studied in detail, little is known about the effects of osmotic pressure on the funct...
