Ultrastructure of the adenohypophysis in the teleost Poecilia latipinna

Summary In the sailfin molly, Poecilia latipinna, seven morphological endocrine celltypes could be distinguished with the electron microscope. Each of these was identified with one of the seven cell-types distinguished with the light microscope, to most of which endocrine functions have previously been allocated. Corticotrophs and prolactin cells form the rostral pars distalis, and the proximal pars distalis consists of an outer layer of gonadotrophs and an inner zone containing growth hormone cells and thyrotrophs. The pars intermedia contains two cell-types, of uncertain function. Stellate cells (interstitial cells) occur throughout the adenohypophysis, but are most numerous and prominent in the rostral pars distalis. The inner proximal pars distalis contains a cell-type not previously distinguished in this species with the light microscope, the Z-cell, which could be aminergic.The ultrastructural features of each cell-type are described in detail, and discussed in comparisons with the homologous cells described in other teleosts. There is good agreement for different teleosts in the ultrastructural details of each cell type.We thank Mr. L. Ethridge, Mr. M. P. Hancock, Mr. D. Hollingworth and Mr. W. Thomson for technical assistance, and Mr. D. Taylor of the Nuffield Institute of the Zoological Society of London for permission to use the Nuffield Institute electron microscope. We are grateful to Dr. Harry Grier, who collected and embedded glands from P. latipinna in its natural fresh-water habitat in Florida, U.S.A. T. Batten is in receipt of an S.R.C. Research Studentship.     

SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE FINE STRUCTURE OF THE LATERAL LINE ORGAN OF THE JAPANESE SEA EEL LYNCOZYMBA NYSTROMI

The fine structure of the lateral line organ of the Japanese sea eel Lyncozymba nystromi has been studied with the electron microscope. The sensory epithelium of the lateral line organ consists of a cluster of two major types of cells, the sensory hair cells and the supporting cells. The sensory cell is a slender element with a flat upper surface provided with sensory hairs, Two different types of synapses are distinguished on the basal surface of the receptor cell. The first type is an ending without vesicles and the second type is an ending with many vesicles. These are presumed to correspond to the afferent and the efferent innervations of the lateral line organ. The fine structure of the supporting cells and the morphological relationship between the supporting cells and the receptor cells were observed. The possible functions of the supporting cells are as follows: (a) mechanical and metabolic support for the receptor cell; (b) isolation of the individual receptor cell; (c) mucous secretion and probably cupula formation; (d) glial function for the intraepithelial nerve fibers. Both myelinated and unmyelinated fibers were found in the lateral line nerve. The mode of penetration of these fibers into the epithelium was observed.     

The Cell Types in the Adenohypophysis of the Marine Teleost Crenilabrus melops

Sagittal sections from pituitaries of winter and spring fish were stained with a number of methods including alcian blue-PAS-orange G, Herlant's tetrachrome, Luxol fast blue-PAS-orange G and lead haematoxylin. By these methods seven different endocrine cell types were readily demonstrated in the adenohypophysis. In the rostral pars distalis (RPD), there were conspicuous vacuoles (intra- and possibly extracellular) in the prolactin cell zone of all animals. The ACTH cells in the RPD were very numerous. In the proximal pars distalis (PPD), the growth hormone cells were arranged in coiling bands that were predominantly dorsal and juxtaposed to neurohypophysis. Two types of basophils were readily distinguished: both were predominantly ventral in the proximal pars distalis, though the type I basophil also formed a constant group in the dorsal region of the pituitary, between the PPD and the RPD. The pars intermedia contained two cell types — a lead haematoxylin-positive cell and a PAS-positive cell. The pituitary morphology is compared with that of other teleosts.     

Cytodiffrentiation in the accessory glands of Tenebrio molitor. VI. A congruent map of cells and their secretions in the layered elastic product of the male bean-shaped gland

The morphology of the bean-shaped accessory glands (BAGs) of males of Tenebrio molitor is described. All cells in the secretory epithelium are long and narrow (300–400 mμ × 5 mμ). The seven types of secretory cells are distinguished from one another by the morphology of their secretory granules. Granule substructure varies from simple spheres with homogeneous electrondense contents to complex forms with thickened exterior walls or with crystalline and membranous contents. Individual cell types were mapped by staining whole glands with Oil Red O, and the cell distributions were confirmed by wax histology and ultramicroscopy. The secretions of all seven cell types form a secretory plug composed of seven layers. During mating, the secretory plug from each BAG is forced into the ejaculatory duct by contractions of a sheath of circular muscle. The mirror image plugs from symmetrical BAGs fuse and are transformed into the wall of the spermatophore.     

Comparative light- and electron-microscopical study of the normal adenohypophysis in the human.

The pars distalis of 1 girl and of 3 sexually mature women was studied. The glands were dissected out and fixed within a period of 30 min following death; in the aldehyde fixative, each gland was systematically divided into ten pieces. Before fixation in osmium tetroxide, each piece was again divided into several blocks. At least 60 blocks were obtained from each gland. Semi-thin sections obtained from all the blocks were stained and studied under the light microscope. Ultrathin sections were obtained from selected blocks. Under the light microscope, 6 types of secretory cells and 2 types of non-secretory cells were characterized. At the ultrastructural level, 7 types of granulated cells and 2 types of non-granulated cells were distinguished. The range of the granule size for each type of sectetory cell was determined by applying a mathematical model and a computer program that corrected the size distribution curve in such a way that only the diameter of the equatorial sections of the granules, that is the real granule sizes, was recorded. By comparing the observations made in the ultrastructural study with those performed in adjacent semi-thin sections it was possible to correlate the cell types characterized ultrastructurally with those distinguished under the light microscope. In addition, the study of the semi-thin sections made it possible to quantitatively analyze the different cell types, while the ultrastructural characteristics suggested the probable functional role of each of these cell types.     

泽泻科的花粉形态研究

本文对泽泻科11属27种代表植物的花粉进行了光学显微镜、扫描电镜和透射电镜观察。在系统描述了该科及各属植物花粉形态的基础上,将泽泻科植物的花粉划分为3种类型,即少果泽苔草型、慈菇型和泽泻型。根据花粉形态特征的比较,并依据泽泻科植物祖先类群的花粉具有船形、具单沟萌发孔、花粉外壁具明显的刺状纹饰、覆盖层完整无通道等特征,作者认为泽泻科植物花粉形态的如下演化趋势是明显的：由船形演化为卵球形、球形和多面体球形;由单沟萌发孔经过一无孔的中间类型演化为散孔类型;孔膜由光滑演化为具颗粒和小刺;萌发孔不内陷进化到内陷;花粉粒外壁的刺状纹饰逐渐过渡为颗粒状纹饰或者消失,以及覆盖层由无通道到具细通道和通道。     

THE MICROSTRUCTURE OF THE COMPOUND EYES OF INSECTS

The apposition eyes of two diurnal insects, Sarcophaga bullata (Diptera) and Anax junius (Odonata), have been examined with the electron microscope. In the latter case only the rhabdom is described. The rhabdom of the fly consists of a central matrix and seven rhabdomeres, one for each retinula cell. The rhabdomeres show an ordered internal structure built up of transverse tubes, hexagonal in cross-section. These slender compartments running the width of the rhabdomere are 370 A in diameter. After fixation with osmium tetroxide the walls of the compartments are more electron dense than the interiors. The retinula cells contain mitochondria, and pigment granules smaller than those found in the pigment cells. These granules tend to cluster close behind the membranes which separate the retinula cells from their rhabdomeres. The rhabdom of the dragonfly is a single structure which appears to be composed of three fused "rhabdomeres," each similar to a rhabdomere of Sarcophaga. Reasons are given for believing that the rhabdom may be the site of photoreception, as well as the organ for analyzing plane-polarized light, as suggested by other workers.     

The fine structure of the elasmobranch renal tubule: intermediate, distal, and collecting duct segments of the little skate.

Sharks, skates, and rays (Elasmobranchii) have evolved unique osmoregulatory strategies to survive in marine habitats. These adaptations include a complex renal countercurrent system for urea retention. The fine structure of the complete renal tubular epithelium has yet to be elucidated in any species of cartilagenous fish. The present study, which is a companion to our recent paper describing the ultrastructure of the neck and proximal segments of the elasmobranch nephron, uses thin sections and freeze-fracture replicas to elucidate the fine structural organization of the intermediate, distal, and collecting duct segments of the little skate, Raja erinacea, renal tubule. The epithelium of the intermediate, distal, and collecting duct segments consists of two major cell types: nonflagellar cells, the major epithelial cell type; and flagellar cells, described elsewhere. The intermediate segment consists of six subdivisions lined by cuboidal-columnar cells with variously elaborated microvilli and interdigitations of lateral and basal cell plasma membranes, as well as some subdivisions with distinctive vesicles and granules. The distal segment consists of two subdivisions, both of which are lined by a simple epithelium, and are distinguished from each other by their distinctive contents; dense bodies and granules. The collecting duct segment also has two subdividions, the first lined by a simple columnar epithelium and the second by a stratified columnar epithelium. Both subdivisions have apical secretory granules. The present findings show a more highly specialized and diverse epithelium lining the renal tubule of these cartilagenous fish than is found in either of the "adjacent" phylogenetic taxa, Agnatha or Ostheichthyes, suggesting significant differences among these groups in transepithelial transport mechanisms and renal function.
