Sea anemones feed by discharging nematocysts into their prey, but the pathway for control of nematocyst discharge is unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ultrastructural evidence of neuronematocyte synapses and to determine the types of synaptic vesicles present at different kin

Using transmission electron microscopy of serially sectioned tentacles from the sea anemone Aiptasia pallida, we located and characterized two types of neuro-spirocyte synapses. Clear vesicles were observed at 10 synapses and dense-cored vesicles at five synapses. The diameters of vesicles at each n
## Abstract Five isoforms of tropomyosin, designated as TMa, TMb, TMc, TMd, and TMe, were detected in the sea anemone, __Anthopleura japonica__. The apparent molecular weights of these isoforms were estimated to be approximately 30kD to 37.5kD, and their pI values were approximately 4.55 (TMa and T
Ingestion time, digestion time, and assimilation efficiency by the sea anemone diptasiu pallide were studied in the laboratory by feeding individual anemones preweighed pellets of freeze-dried Arteinia salinu nauplii. There was no significant correlation between anemone size, measured a.s dry weight
Epithelium of the sea anemone Acontiophorum niveum is modified into four general arrangements of microappendages: (1) uniform microvilli covering pedal disc and column, (2) an interspersion of microvilli, ciliary cones, and kinocilia on tentacles, (3) flagella among an understory of microvilli from
