Excerpt from Demonstration of the Function of the Neuromotor Apparatus in Euplotes by the Method of Microdissection: A ThesisBut the complexity of the motor apparatus does not end with the trichomonads. In the other genus of the Polymastigina, the Octo mitidae, appear further advances in the series. An amphibian para site, Octomitus olujarclini (dobell, 1909) claims for its motor mech anism a pair each of blepharoplasts, parabasal bodies and axostyles, and three anterior ¿agella attached to each blepharoplast. Omitting the undulating membranes, Octomitus is really the equivalent of two trichomonads. This duplex condition does, in fact, become complete in Giardia (kofoid and Christiansen, l9l5b, Boeck, the remark able motor mechanism of which rivals in complexity that about to be described for certain ciliates. There is a duplication here of each structure found in the apparatus of Trichomonas. But with the con nection of the two blepharoplasts by a commissure and with a chiasmal crossing of the anterior lateral ¿agella, two organisms become inte grated into one individual (kofoid and Christiansen, 1915b)About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
