“…However, in order to be able to understand the chemistry and physiology of the venom, one should first know the anatomy, histology and fine structure of the venom gland and the venom stinger. The histology and fine structure of the venom gland in several scorpion species have been investigated by several researchers, but the fine structure of venom ducts were not analyzed (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26). Yigit …”

“…The nature of neutral mucosubstances as a polymer of glucoseamine might indicate a possible role in osmoregulation and the transfer of the protein fragment of the venom in the tissue of the victim. Neutral mucosubstances have been found in the venom of the most dangerous scorpions (Taib & Jarrar, 1993;Jarrar & Al-Rowaily, 2008).…”

“…A sting from L. quinquestriatus is potentially lethal to humans (Taib and Jarrar 1993;Mebs 2002), while a sting from O. albitarsis results in mild inflammation. Scorpion venoms typically consist of mixtures of polypeptides with up to 70 amino acid residues, but are diverse in size, composition, and activity (Mebs 2002).…”
