Thursday, October 18 12:30-1:30 PM
Effect of Environment and Modulators on Hindgut and Heart Function in Invertebrates
Kentucky International Convention Center, L7

The crayfish hindgut and Drosophila heart allow for easy physiologic recordings and can be used as a bioassay for various compounds and environmental substances.

Presenter(s): Susan Mayo (University of Kentucky: Lexington, KY); Rachel C. Holsinger (Sayre School: Lexington, KY); Robin L. Cooper (University of Kentucky: Lexington, KY); Diane H. Johnson (University of Kentucky: Lexington, KY); Rebecca M. Krall (University of Kentucky: Lexington, KY); Kim Zeidler-Watters (University of Kentucky: Lexington, KY)
