This angiographic method may provide diverse opportunities to investigate vascular aspects of snake spectacle ecdysis, dysecdysis, and the integument in general. Copious leakage of fluorescein occurred during the shedding phase.
You'll find thousands of styles of designs to choose from, including sports themes, family names, holidays (like Cinco de Mayo and St.
#SNAKE SPECTACLE FULL#
Or buy a full set online for everyone to share in the fun. Vascular permeability varied with the phase of ecdysis. Make your next social gathering a festive time with your own cool Snake Drinking Glasses (8oz Pint Glasses). Snake-eyed skinks lack eyelids and have transparent scales (spectacles) covering the eyes similar to those of snakes. Fossorial and aquatic snakes had significantly thicker spectacles than arboreal and terrestrial snakes. Individually acquired photographic frames were assessed and sequenced into pseudovideo image streams for further evaluation Conclusionsįluorescein angiograms of the snake spectacle were readily obtained. which had a spectacle thickness of 244 57 m. Angiographic images were made as fluorescein traversed the vasculature of the iris and spectacle. Procedures: The snake was anesthetized, and spectral domain optic coherence tomography was performed prior to angiographic procedures. Animal studied: Ball python (Python regius). Sodium fluorescein (10%) solution was administered by intracardiac injection. N2 - Objective: Assess vascular permeability of the snake spectacle to sodium fluorescein during resting and shedding phases of the ecdysis cycle. An electronically controlled digital single-lens reflex camera with a dual-head flash equipped with filters suitable for fluorescein angiography was used to make images. The snake was anesthetized, and spectral domain optic coherence tomography was performed prior to angiographic procedures.
Assess vascular permeability of the snake spectacle to sodium fluorescein during resting and shedding phases of the ecdysis cycle.
