Abstract
:
The present study was undertaken to describe the histology and fine structure of the longitudinal flight muscle of female P. bufonius at different ages. The appearance of female flight muscle remain translucent in all ages studied of the adult! insect. Histological and ultrastructural study showed that the muscle fibers are reduced to thread-like structures and the mitochondria are scarce and abnormal in shape. The tracheoles are scarce or absent from female flight muscle fibers of all ages studied. Signs of muscle fibers degeneration was noted at the periphery of some muscle fibers at various ages studied: Disintegration and loss of myofibril striations are coupled with the proliferation of sarcoplasmic reticulum. It was concluded that the atrophy of adult female flight muscle is developmental and due to incomplete development (retardation) and degeneration in old insects. Possible causes for incomplete muscle development is outlined in the discussion.
