Component

Transport of secretory granules to the terminal web

Transport of secretory granules to the terminal web. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What acts on it

  1. After 6 and 9 hours of treatment the characteristic changes in Ascaris suum intestinal cells were absence of secretory granules in the terminal web, accumulation of secretory granules in the Golgi region, formation of autophagic vacuoles in the apical cell part, and loss of glycogen, and cytochemistry revealed that the accumulated granules in the Golgi area contained glycoproteins or polysaccharides.

    The earliest mechanistic record here and still the clearest picture of the consequence. It predates the tubulin work and describes exactly what blocking microtubule-based transport would produce.
