Resorption of phosphate, calcium and magnesium in the in vitro locust rectum

The ability of the locust rectum in vitro to resorb Ca⁺⁺, Mg⁺⁺ , and PO₄ was studied. The rectum has a low permeability to Ca⁺, but Ca⁺ is not accumulated against concentration differences. Mg⁺ was not accumulated in the basal compartment of the rectal sac even when Mg⁺ concentration gradients were...
