Excerpt from The Anatomical Record, Vol. 13: June-December, 1917In the new-born scorpion not all of the muscles are equally well developed. Those of the cephalo-thorax, abdomen and legs seem in general functionally mature, though the oval. Regu larly contoured, and more chromatic character of the nuclei (figs. 5 and 6) indicate a lesser degree of progressive differentia tion. Certain fibers in the region of the head are in the earlv stages of transformation of myoblasts into multinucleated fibers.Figure. 5 illustrates a lightly - stained mature fiber of this stage, with a festooned sarcolemma closely adherent. To which is a fibrillar connective tissue. Figure ti is more deeply stained and thus shows a more conspicuous Q - disk and the granular telophragmata. This fiber is moreover distorted, apparently by a force causing compression along the longitudinal axis. The folding or bending thus produced caused an alternate bulg ing on opposite sides, and the bend and the bulge are always along the levels of the telophragmata. This phenomenon demonstrates a firm connection between mvofibrils and the telo phragmata. It demonstrates also the absence of a mes'ophragma of a structure similar to that. Of the telophragma.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
