Electron Microscopic Study of Apocrine Secretion*

Light and electron microscopic study of the tongue in the White-eared bulbul (Pycnonotus leucotis)

The aim of the present study was to investigate the light and electron microscopic structure of the tongue in White-eared bulbul (Pycnonotus leucotis). Six adult White-eared bulbul (3 males and 3 females) in Shahrekord district were used in the investigation. Samples of the apex, body and root of the tongue were prepared routinely for light and electron microscopic study. Results showed that th...

Light and scanning electron microscopic study of the lingual structure in the budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus)

BACKGROUND: The tongue, which plays a very important role in food intake by vertebrates, exhibits significant morphological variations that appear to represent adaptation to the current environmental conditions of each respective habitat. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present investigation was to investigate lingual structure in adult budgerigar. METHODS: Tongues of 12 adult budgerigars were used ...

Electron Microscopic Study of the Vertebrate Retina

Morphological studies of the vertebrate retina with the use of the electron microscope have been carried out by several authors since 1949, most of them in relation to the structure of the receptors. These studies were devoted at first to the outer and inner segments of the receptors (1-8). More recently, the interest has been concentrated on the synaptic connections of the receptors (9-12). Th...

Electron Microscopic Study of Human Laryngeal Papillomatosis.

Sixteen biopsies of laryngeal papillomas from patients 4-21 years old, as well as tissue from scarred areas of laryngeal mucosa which previously bore papillomas, were studied with the electron microscope and compared with normal laryngeal mucosa. Tissue blocks that contained cytoplasmic bodies by light microscopy were serially sectioned for electron microscopic examination. The bodies appeared ...
