The hepatopancreas, digestive gland or midgut gland is an organ of the digestive tract of arthropods and molluscs. It provides the functions which in mammals are provided separately by the liver and pancreas , including the production of digestive enzymes , …

Composed of different epithelial cells (E-, R-, F-, and B-cells), the hepatopancreas is a sensitive indicator of physiological disturbances in crustaceans. The structural alterations of hepatopancreatic tubules and epithelial cells due to infections by …

Tomalley is the hepatopancreas (the organ that fulfills the functions of both the liver and the pancreas) of a lobster, crab or other arthropods of a crustacean when used for culinary purposes.

The crustacean hepatopancreas has different functions including absorption, storage of nutrients and vitellogenesis during growth, and ovarian development. However, genetic information on the biological functions of the crustacean hepatopancreas ...

The hepatopancreas in crustaceans is a vital immune organ that can clear pathogenic bacteria and necrotic cells and express and secrete immune effectors, such as hemocyanin, lectin, bacterial cell surface recognition molecules, and nitric oxide [110].

This article reviews the morphogenesis, morphology, histology, ultrastructure, and structural-functional relationships of the hepatopancreas, the main metabolic organ of the Decapoda. The hepatopancreas develops in early larval stages from a pair of lateral lobes of the midgut anlage.

2020年7月10日 · The hepatopancreas is the largest organ of the digestive tract and metabolic centre of the ~15,000 species of decapod crustaceans that include shrimps, crabs, lobsters and crayfishes. A review of my own data and literature data revealed that the hepatopancreas is structurally and functionally among the most complex invertebrate organs.

In this review, I show that mollusks and crustaceans integrate immune functions to a metabolic organ, the midintestinal gland ("hepatopancreas"). In these animals, the epithelial cells of the midintestinal gland are major sources of immune molecules, such as lectins, hemocyanin, ferritin, antibacterial and antiviral proteins, proteolytic ...

Hepatopancreas is the combined hepatic and pancreatic tissue. From: Current Therapeutic Research, 2019

As nouns the difference between liver and hepatopancreas is that liver is a large organ in the body that stores and metabolizes nutrients, destroys toxins and produces bile. It is responsible for thousands of biochemical reactions while hepatopancreas is an organ of the digestive tract of arthropods and fish, which provides the functions which ...

The meaning of HEPATOPANCREAS is a glandular structure (as of a crustacean) that combines the digestive functions of the vertebrate liver and pancreas.

Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND), caused by Vibrio spp., is a relatively new farmed penaeid shrimp bacterial disease. The shrimp production in AHPND affected regions has dropped to ~60%, and the disease has caused a global loss of USD 43 billion to the shrimp farming industry.

2019年7月12日 · This article reviews the morphogenesis, morphology, histology, ultrastructure, and structural–functional relationships of the hepatopancreas, the main metabolic organ of the Decapoda. The hepatopancreas develops in early larval stages from a pair of lateral lobes of the midgut anlage .

The combined liver and pancreatic tissue has been termed “hepatopancreas” but must not be confused with so-called hepatopancreas of invertebrates (Ito et al., 1962; Elias and Sherrick, 1969). The exocrine cells of the teleostean pancreas …

The hepatopancreas, digestive gland or midgut gland is an organ of the digestive tract of arthropods and molluscs. It provides the functions which in mammals are provided separately by the liver and pancreas , including the production of digestive enzymes , …

2014年9月2日 · In this review, I show that mollusks and crustaceans integrate immune functions to a metabolic organ, the midintestinal gland (“hepatopancreas”).

…a large organ called the hepatopancreas. The principal organs of excretion are long coxal glands that open just behind the base of the fourth pair of legs. The chief ganglia (masses of nervous tissue) are fused into a ring around the esophagus.

2023年3月8日 · Our data indicated the key proteins of carbohydrate metabolism, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and lysosome pathways played important roles in hepatopancreas, as the ovaries developed to maturation in Macrobrachium nipponense. The results provide new insight into regulatory mechanisms of hepatopancreas in crustacean reproduction.

2021年8月1日 · The hepatopancreas (midgut gland, digestive gland) is a paired organ consisting of hundreds to thousands of blindly ending tubules, which fuse to form collecting ducts (Fig. 1 F, G). It originates from lateral extensions of the midgut anlage in embryos and larvae.

2 天之前 · The hepatopancreas is the primary organ responsible for nutrient absorption, metabolism, digestion, and storage in decapod crustaceans. It also plays a crucial role in energy metabolism under environmental stress [21,22]. Hence, the dysfunction of the hepatopancreas can result in metabolic disorders, immunosuppression, and even mortality ...
