In fact, when the matter is reduced to its lowest terms, the whole process of combating the effect of serpent venoms is comprised in what has been stated above.
The lethal principle of all serpent venoms consists of two elements, a venom peptone and a venom globulin.
In fact, so important are they that all others may be included in a discussion of the crotalidæ; more particularly so as all serpent venoms act chemically in the same manner.
An extended discussion of the chemistry of serpent venoms would be manifestly out of place at this time.
Ammonia applied to certain of the less dangerous venoms is efficacious.
It can be seen from the above examples that toxicity of venoms and the resistance of the animal receiving an injection of venom is highly variable.
Fibrinolytic and coagulent activities of certain snake venoms and proteases.
Thus, venoms contain both toxic elements and non-toxic substances that promote rapid spreading of the venom through the body of the victim.
The inhibiting effect of snake bloods upon the hemorrhagic action of viper venoms on mice.
It has since been found thatvenoms are composed of varying mixtures of both types.
Snakes in general are more resistant to snake venoms than other vertebrates of similar size, but there is no immunity even to their own venom.
Some properties of North American pit vipervenoms and their correlation with phylogeny.
Studies on the venoms of North American pit vipers.
Copperhead venom killed copperheads faster than did other venoms but took more time to kill massasaugas, cottonmouths, and timber rattlers.
We know next to nothing of the composition of the protein bodies in the snake venoms which have such terrific and quick physiological effects on man," Kennedy went on.
The fact of the matter is that the snake venoms are about the safest of poisons for the criminal to use, for the reason of the difficulty they give in any chemical analysis.
Let us see, then, how the various animals that it is possible to make use of in laboratories behave with regard to venoms of different origins.
Lastly, its toxicity is very slight, at least five thousand times less than that of the venoms of Australian snakes.
The coagulant substance in these venoms is precipitable by alcohol at the same time as the neurotoxin and other active substances.
Antivenomous anticolubrine serum, that is to say, that furnished by horses vaccinated against thevenoms of the Cobra and the Krait, does not prevent coagulation by coagulant venoms.
For these reasons the activity of anaerobic life becomes greater, and the formation of venoms takes place.
Lachesis-venoms are the most sensitive; their toxicity is lost if they be heated beyond 65° C.
It was found by the scientist in question that the toxicity of these various venoms is more or less diminished in the presence of these aniline colours, when the mixtures are insolated.
The different venoms were measured in decimal milligrammes, and their potency was estimated according to the body-weight of the animal inoculated.
The serum of a rabbit immunised against the venom of the cobra or the viper acts indifferently on all the venoms that I have tested.
By experiments in test-tubes, Calmette studied these venoms under the influences of heat and various chemical agents.
The fact is, that snake venoms are about the safest of poisons for the criminal.
We know next to nothing of the composition of the protein bodies in the venoms which have such terrific, quick physiological effects," Kennedy was saying.
In any case, the poisons they make get into the blood; and there they poison the nerves, like the various alkaloids I told you about, or else they attack the blood itself, as the snake venoms do.
XXXIX Snake Venomsand Others The life of any creature, man, animal or plant, is one long fight against being poisoned.
Chemistry teaches that snake venoms consist for the most part of solutions of modified proteids, and all attempts to separate the toxic principles from such proteids have hitherto been unsuccessful.
The venoms are toxic principles very closely allied to the microbial toxins; like the latter, they form two classes, the one alkaloidal, the other proteid, possessing a true diastatic character.
Experiments have shown that this property is not peculiar to microbial virus alone, but that it is common to the venoms the toxicity of which is essentially due to some toxins, with the exception of those agents noted.
On studying the venoms we will see that a certain number of these products are the result of glandular secretion.
If the venoms are preserved in a moist condition, they change because they undergo putrefaction, which is generally the case with all diastatic substances, and particularly the toxins.
Along with these resemblances between the venomsand toxins, attention must be called to a very important difference.
It will suffice us to know that, taken altogether, the active albuminoids of these venomsare numerous, and that each venom has its own particular active constituents, differing according to the species and variety of the snake.
Rabbits which have been rendered highly immune towards venoms are capable of resisting without inconvenience doses of abrin which are ordinarily fatal; and the blood serum afforded by them contains a specific antibody for the substance.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "venoms" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
