The fine structure of the excretory system was studied in metacercariae and juveniles of Paragonimus ohirai. The former were in vitro excysted, and the latter were collected from the abdominal cavity of a rat 24 hours postinfection. The terminal organs of the excretory system were composed of a flame cell and the first cell of a tubule. In the excysted metacercaria, there was no space between these cells to allow the passage of fluid. This suggests that the terminal organs of P. ohirai may be inactive in this stage. The excretory bladder was formed of epithelial cells which contained numerous lipid droplets and a large amount of glycogen in the cytoplasm. The bladder of the metacercaria seems to function as a storage area for nutrients and other materials. These characteristics of the metacercaria are considered to be related to the enclosed conditions created by encystment. Excretory organs had undergone cytomorphosis in the juveniles and appear to possess active excretory function. The periflagellar space in the terminal organs was formed, and lipids and concretions were excreted from a thin layer of the excretory epithelia into the lumen. 相似文献

The fine structure of the excretory tubes of the mesostigmatid mite Macrocheles muscaedomesticae were investigated. These paired tubes are partially ensheathed by fat body and invested throughout by a branching system of visceral muscles. The fine structure of the cells of the excretory tube is in general similar with only minor differences found throughout its length. The basal region of each epithelial cell of the excretory tube borders the hemocoel and is divided into many compartments by the extensive infolding of the plasma membrane. Mitochondria and vacuolar inclusions are often closely associated with these compartments. More than one morphological type of mitochondria was found distributed throughout the cells of the excretory tubes. The most commonly encountered type had well developed cristae and an electron dense matrix. Less commonly, mitochondria with somewhat poorly developed cristae and a translucent matrix often containing myelin-like figures of varying complexity were observed. It is suggested that they represent part of a normal process of mitochondrial degeneration. The apical region of the cell has a border composed of plate-like folds of the plasma membrane termed microlamellae. The lumen contains abundant granules of the excretory product. 相似文献

The formation of the definitive excretory system (nephridium and bladder complex) in Hirudo medicinalis during the last two thirds of embryonic development was observed with light- and electron microscopy, immunocytochemistry, and nuclear labeling. In jawed leeches, two excretory systems develop and function successively. The nephridia of the cryptolarva are associated with the larval sac and persist until the definitive nephridia are sufficiently developed to be functional. Development of the definitive excretory system begins with the differentiation of the (ectodermal) bladder and urethra. The cells from which they arise incorporate bacteria and are thereby recognizable at day 8. The (mesodermal) urine-forming tissues of the nephridium (canalicular cells and central canal cells) appear a day later. By day 17, the nephridia are in contact with the outlet region and structurally able to function. Each nephridium is individually innervated by a peripheral neuron, the nephridial nerve cell, which expresses FMR Famide-like immunoreactivity and begins growing into the nephridium on day 11. Organogenesis of the leech nephridium is compared with the formation of excretory organs in other species. The temporal correlation of innervation and the development of the transporting cells is discussed.

The secretory-excretory system of C. elegans, reconstructed from serial-section electron micrographs of larvae, is composed of four cells, the nuclei of which are located on the ventral side of the pharynx and adjacent intestine. (1) The pore cell encloses the terminal one-third of the excretory duct which leads to an excretory pore at the ventral midline. (2) The duct cell surrounds the excretory duct with a lamellar membrane from the origin of the duct at the excretory sinus to the pore cell boundary. (3) A large H-shaped excretory cell extends bilateral canals anteriorly and posteriorly nearly the entire length of the worm. The excretory sinus within the cell body joins the lumena of the canals with the origin of the duct. (4) A binucleate, A-shaped gland cell extends bilateral processes anteriorly from cell bodies located just behind the pharynx. These processes are fused at the anterior tip of the cell, where the cell enters the circumpharyngeal nerve ring. The processes are also joined at the anterior edge of the excretory cell body, where the excretory cell and gland are joined to the duct cell at the origin of the duct. Secretory granules may be concentrated in the gland near this secretory-excretory junction. Although the gland cells of all growing developmental stages stain positively with paraldehyde-fuchsin, the gland of the dauer larva stage (a developmentally arrested third-stage larva) does not stain, nor do glands of starved worms of other stages. Dauer larvae uniquely lack secretory granules, and the gland cytoplasm is displaced by a labyrinth of large, transparent spaces. Exit from the dauer stage results in the return of active secretory morphology in fourth-stage larvae. 相似文献

An ultrastructural analysis of the ampulla and ureter of the cricket, Acheta domesticus, is presented. The excretory system of the cricket is unusual in that the 112 Malpighian tubules do not attach directly to the gut, but fuse to form a bladder-like ampulla which is joined to the colon by a muscular ureter. The ampulla consists of two cell types, primary and regenerative. Primary cells secrete large numbers of membrane-bound vesicles into the lumen and also appear to be involved in fluid reabsorption. Regenerative cells are very small and form a layer just beneath the basal lamina of the ampulla. They are believed to differentiate and replace sloughed off primary cells. The ureter is a muscular tube lined with cuticle which connects the ampulla (endoderm) with the colon (ectoderm). The probable origin and significance of the morphological modifications of the excretory system are discussed. 相似文献

The morphology of the excretory system of Hysterothylacium haze was examined by serial histological sections. The excretory system was H-shaped and glandular, consisting of lateral filaments and a commissure, with the exretory pore opening posterior to the nerve ring. A large excretory nucleus was present in the left filament. The cuticularized excretory duct was confined to the left side of the commissure. The glandular excretory system is rare among the Raphidascaridinae. 相似文献

The theory of structural parallelism put forward by A. A. Zavarzin (Senior) has been supported by the analysis of cytological specificity of effector organs involved in water-salt homeostasis, and of the excretory system of vertebrates and invertebrates. The similarity in morphofunctional organization of different excretory organs (i.e. the presence of ultrafiltration apparatus and cells which make it possible to absorb all vitally important substances) is likely to result from the fact that the excretory organ should excrete not only the final products of metabolism, but also any exogenic substances in addition to those which although important, are excessive for the organism. The brush border of asymmetrical epithelial cells of excretory organs is presumably a morphological expression of the structure which accounts for the inward transport of all physiologically important substances. Specificity of the membrane mechanism of water and sodium transport accounts for the identical principles in the structure of cells and areas of cell contacts of epithelia in different organs involved in the formation of hypotonic (saliva glands, renal tubules) or hypertonic fluids (salt glands, marine teleost gills). 相似文献

Functional study of the Caenorhabditis elegans secretory-excretory system using laser microsurgery 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Individual cells of the Caenorhabditis elegans secretory-excretory system were ablated by laser microbeam in various larval stages. Effects on growth, molting, osmoregulation, fertility, longevity, and dauer larva formation were tested. Single-cell ablations did not prevent subsequent molting, but ablation of the pore cell or the duct cell resulted in the absence of the normal cuticular lining of the excretory duct following a molt. When the pore cell, duct cell, or excretory cell was ablated, the animals filled with fluid within 12-24 hr and died within a few days, producing very few progeny. Ablation of the excretory gland cell, on the other hand, had no obvious developmental or behavioral effects. Excretory activity was monitored in dauer larvae by observing pulsation of the excretory duct in conditions of differing osmolarity. The rate of pulsation was quite variable over time in conditions of low osmotic strength, but average five- to six-fold higher than that observed in buffered saline. These observations, combined with the effects of laser ablation, lead to the conclusion that one function of the excretory system is osmoregulation. 相似文献

The present investigations describe the fine structure of the excretory complex, rectal cells and the anal vesicle of the microfilaria of Breinlia sergenti. The structure of the excretory cell and rectal cells is found to be similar to nerve cells. Axonal (digitiform) processes in the excretory and anal vesicles are described and a possible sensory function is ascribed to these structures. 相似文献

Four major areas of the urogenital system of Echinopardalis atrata are examined: (1) capsular protonephridial system, (2) uterine bell complex, (3) uterus, (4) vagina. Photomicrographs of cross sections from wax preparations depict morphological changes along the length of this system. Diagrammatic illustrations show relationships between excretory ducts and oviducts in the uterine bell complex. Relative positions of dorsal and ventral ligament accessory cells, median wall cells, and sheathing syncytium are also shown in this complex. The common oviduct and excretory canal join to form a ciliated urogenital canal that empties into the lumen of the uterus along the latter's anterior mid-dorsal surface. The excretory bladder is located on the inside mid-dorsal surface of the bell wall and is serviced by 2 nephridial canals--1 from each of 2 capsular protonephridia. The vagina affixes the posterior terminus of the uterus to the tegument and consists of an internal and external sphincter surrounding a hypodermal lining. 相似文献

The ultrastructure of the flame cells, capillaries, collecting tubes, excretory bladder, excretory atrium, caudal vesicle, lateral caudal ducts and excretory pores of cercariae of Bucephaloides gracilescens (Rudolphi, 1819) Hopkins, 1954 and Prosorhynchus squamatus Odhner, 1905 (Digenea: Bucephalidae) is described. Both species are essentially similar except for some details. The terminal parts of the protonephridia have all the structural features that are typical of trematodes. The collecting tubes in the cercarial body are composed of cells that are wrapped around the lumen. The main collecting tubes are joined to the excretory bladder syncytium by septate junctions. Features of P. squamatus excretory bladder epithelium indicate that it is involved in secretory activity, but this is not the case in B. gracilescens. In both species the luminal surface of the excretory bladder epithelium is increased by lamellae, and the basal plasma membrane forms invaginations. In the bladder syncytium of P. squamatus both apical lamellae and basal invaginations are more developed and mitochondria are also more numerous. The excretory atrium is lined by a syncytium with nucleated cytons located in the surrounding parenchyma. The atrium lining is not continuous with the body tegument and possesses specific secretory inclusions and a thick glycocalyx. Septate junctions connect the atrium syncytium to the excretory bladder epithelium at its anterior end and to the syncytial excretory epithelium lining the caudal vesicle and the lateral caudal ducts at its posterior. In the excretory pores the caudal duct syncytium is joined to the tegument by septate desmosomes. 相似文献

Harderian glands of the Wistar albino rats normal and adrenalectomized were investigated by light microscopy. In normal, these glands have a tubuloalveolar structure. The gland is located in the medio posterior aspect of the orbit. It is lobulated and appears homogeneous in colour and texture. Harderian gland consist of tubules with wide lumina lined by a single layer of columnar epithelial cells surrounded by myoepithelial cells within their basal lamina. It contains porphyrin pigment which is stored as solid intraluminal deposits. The glandular epithelium possesses two cell types, termed A and B. Type A cells are more numerous. The single excretory duct of the gland is directly continuous with endpieces at the hilus and opens nasally and ventrally to the third eyelid. The excretory duct is accompanied by many acini of small serous glands around it. The tubuloalveoli of the gland is not divided into lobules. There is no branched duct system within the gland. The secretion seems to be associated with porphyrins, is essentially released by exocytosis, but holocrine secretion also occurs. The single excretory duct is lined by a stratified epithelium. The gland is surrounded by a collagenous capsule. The adrenalectomy, caused degenerative changes in the glands. Epithelial height was lower than in normal gland epithelium. Most of the acini were completely disorganised. The acinar lumina were filled with porphyrin debris. The results suggest that rat harderian glands are sensitive to adrenal androgen changes in both male and female rats. 相似文献

The terrestrial snail Helix aspersa was exposed to food containing elevated levels of aluminium for up to 33 days and the digestive gland examined by light and electron microscopy and X-ray microanalysis. Four types of cell are found in the digestive gland, (digestive, excretory, calcium and thin) although aluminium was only found in the excretory cells. The aluminium was localised in the 'yellow' or excretory granules that are a characteristic feature of the excretory cells. Aluminium was only found in the granules of snails fed aluminium but there was no difference in the appearance of granules from control or aluminium-fed snails. The granules were large (up to 20 mum in diameter), irregularly shaped and electron-dense. Sulphur, phosphorus and calcium were detected in granules from all snails. The presence of sulphur may indicate protein residues. The amount of aluminium and phosphorus in the granules increased over the experimental period but the number of granules did not change. Levels of aluminium in the granules decreased when the snails were given control food. The role of the excretory granules in the localisation, detoxification and excretion of aluminium is discussed. 相似文献

Davey K. G., Sommerville R. I. and Rogers W. P. 1982. The effect of ethoxyzolamide, an analogue of insect juvenile hormone, nor-adrenaline and iodine on changes in the optical path difference in the excretory cells and oesophagus during exsheathment in Haemonchus contortus. International Journal for Parasitology12: 509–513. Ethoxyzolamide, an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase, markedly inhibits exsheathment of Haemonchus when the larvae are subsequently exposed to an exsheathing stimulus of CO2 at 38.5°C. Ethoxyzolamide at 2 × 10?5M does not prevent the increase in optical path difference in the oesophageal region which normally accompanies exsheathment, but markedly inhibits the increase in optical path difference in the excretory cells. An analogue of juvenile hormone (JHA; the methyl ester of 3,7,11 trimethyl-7,11-dichloro-2-dodecenic acid) does not affect the optical path difference in either the oesophagus or the excretory cells of ensheathed worms. When worms are artificially desheathed by exposure to NaOCl, a procedure which mimics the effect of CO2 upon the oesophagus, but which does not affect the excretory cells, subsequent exposure to JHA at room temperature increases the optical path difference in the excretory cells. This increase is enhanced by subsequent incubation of the worms at 38.5°C at 30–60 min and further enhanced when CO2 is present during the incubation at 38.5°C. The stimulation of the excretory cells by JHA is inhibited by ethoxyzolamide at 2 × 10?5M. Noradrenaline at 10?3M has no effect on ensheathed larvae, but causes an increase in optical path difference in the excretory cells of larvae desheathed with NaOCl. This increase is inhibited by ethoxyzolamide. A brief exposure to I2 blocks the response of the excretory cells of both CO2 and JHA, but does not significantly reduce the effect of nor-adrenaline. On the basis of these and previous results, it is proposed that both CO2 and JHA stimulate a hypothetical CO2 receptor which leads to the release of nor-adrenaline. The noradrenaline in turn stimulates, either directly or indirectly, the excretory cells. 相似文献

The histology and mucosubstance histochemistry of the ferret lingual glands were studied. Both serous and mucous minor salivary glands were present in the posterior part of the tongue. In serous glands, acinar cells and a very few cells of the excretory ducts contained granules which gave reactions for neutral mucopolysaccharides only. The mucous glands, including the duct system, contained mainly weakly sulphated acidic mucin, some neutral mucin but no carboxylated mucin. Occasional goblet cells were present in the excretory ducts of both serous and mucous glands. They contained weakly sulphated mucin. 相似文献

Unicellular tubes or capillaries composed of individual cells with a hollow lumen perform important physiological functions including fluid or gas transport and exchange. These tubes are thought to build intracellular lumina by polarized trafficking of apical membrane components, but the molecular signals that promote luminal growth and luminal connectivity between cells are poorly understood. Here we show that the lipocalin LPR-1 is required for luminal connectivity between two unicellular tubes in the Caenorhabditis elegans excretory (renal) system, the excretory duct cell and pore cell. Lipocalins are a large family of secreted proteins that transport lipophilic cargos and participate in intercellular signaling. lpr-1 is required at a time of rapid luminal growth, it is expressed by the duct, pore and surrounding cells, and it can function cell non-autonomously. These results reveal a novel signaling mechanism that controls unicellular tube formation, and provide a genetic model system for dissecting lipocalin signaling pathways. 相似文献
