Glomerular vasculature was investigated in the carpCyprinus carpio, the scorpionfishSebastiscus marmoratus, and the marine catfishPlotosus lineatus with the resin-replica method. An afferent arteriole was connected with a glomerulus in every fish. It was slender in the
carp, whereas the scorpionfish and marine catfish possessed thick afferent arterioles. The glomerular capillaries were sinusoidal.
The divergences, convergences, and windings of these capillaries were not well developed in any of the fish. The glomerular
capillaries converged into an efferent arteriole in the carp and scorpionfish. In the marine catfish, on the other hand, most
of the glomeruli had two efferent arterioles. 相似文献

The diversity of renal arteriole diameters in different cortical regions has important consequences for control of glomerular capillary pressure. We examined whether intrarenal angiotensin II (ANG II; 0.1, 1, or 5 ng. kg(-1). min(-1)) in anesthetized rabbits acts preferentially on pre- or postglomerular vessels using vascular casting. ANG II produced dose-related reductions in afferent and efferent diameters in the outer, mid, and inner cortex, without effecting arterial pressure. Afferent diameter decreased more than efferent in the outer and mid cortex (P < 0.05) but by a similar extent in juxtamedullary nephrons (P = 0.58). Calculated efferent resistance increased more than afferent, especially in the outer cortex (127 vs. 24 units; 5 ng. kg(-1). min(-1) ANG II). ANG II produced significant dose-related increases in the distance between the arterioles at the entrance to the glomerular pole in all regions. Thus afferent diameter decreased more in response to ANG II, but efferent resistance rose more due to smaller resting luminal dimensions. The results also indicate that glomerular pole dimensions change in response to ANG II. 相似文献

The pattern of vascular supply and the histology of uriniferous tubules of the kidney in the common iguana were studied by light microscopy of semithin sections and by scanning electron microscopy of microcorrosion casts. The corrosion casts showed a strongly developed renal portal system that forms an extensive capillary network throughout the kidney. Glomeruli are numerous and have a capillary pattern consisting of three to six loose coils of capillaries intercalated between afferent and efferent arterioles. Glomeruli are ovoid in shape and relatively small (mean diameter of the casts: 67 ± 19 μm in short axis and 79 ± 18 μm in long axis). Each glomerulus has a single afferent arteriole and efferent arteriole. The length and volume of the glomerular capillaries per unit volume of renal corpuscle are 0.0029 ± 0.0008 μm/μm3 and 0.321 ± 0.077, respectively. A short neck segment consisting of low epithelial cells is interposed between Bowman's capsule and the proximal tubule. A close association between the distal tubule and the glomerular hilus can be interpreted as a juxtaglomerular apparatus. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

The avian kidney contains a population of nephrons with and without loops of Henle. How the collecting ducts of this heterogeneous population of nephrons merge to exit as single ducts from the medullary cones has been uncertain. The results of this study show that the collecting duct tree begins with the coalescence of the distal tubules of pairs of loopless nephrons. These primary collecting ducts receive output from only loopless nephrons. Primary collecting ducts fuse in pairs and become secondary collecting ducts. They receive the distal tubules of transition nephrons. Pairs of secondary collecting ducts fuse and become tertiary collecting ducts. Tertiary collecting ducts receive the distal tubules of looped nephrons. Thus, the fluid from all nephron types comingles as it passes through the medullary cone. The results of this study also show that the anatomical arrangement of medullary cones does not permit the output from one medullary cone to enter a second medullary cone. Thus, all the medullary cones function as parallel units. This anatomical organization of the avian kidney affects its ability to produce a urine hyperosmotic to the plasma. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

The renal vasculature of the toad, Bufo marinus, was studied mainly by means of scanning electron microscopy of vascular corrosion casts. All arterial branches terminated in a glomerulus. Each glomerulus was supplied by only one afferent arteriole. No shunts between afferent and efferent arterioles were observed. The glomerular channels appeared to be permanent capillaries. No evidence supporting the theory of freely shifting glomerular blood channels was found. Efferent arterioles radiated out towards the dorsal surface of the kidney where they connected with peritubular vessels. The renal portal veins produced an anastomosing plexus on the dorsal surface of the kidney, giving rise to the peritubular vessels. Peritubular vessels ran radially toward the ventral surface of the kidney, where they formed the roots of the renal veins. Attention is drawn to the possibility of hairpin countercurrent exchange between the capillary-like efferent arterioles and the peritubular vessels in the dorsal kidney. 相似文献

Summary 1)As in mammals, the juxtaglomerular apparatus of the Newt (Triturus cristatus) is composed by cells of the media of the afferent glomerular arteriole and by cells of the intermediary tubule. 2) The cells of the media of the glomerular arteriole are of two different types: granular and agranular cells. 3) The intermediary tubule is formed by dark and light cells. 4) Part of interrenal body is located close to glomerular arteriole and intermediary tubule.This work was supported by grant of Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche of Italy (C.N.R.)

The anionic charge barrier and the endothelial and epithelial pore sizes on the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) were examined in white leghorn chickens (Gallus gallus). Ruthenium red was used to stain anionic charge sites on the GFB. The tissue was treated by normal dehydration and freeze substitution dehydration for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In addition, the basal lamina was isolated for study. The results of our study indicate that G. gallus possess a thick, negatively charged glycocalyx surrounding the podocytes and slit diaphragm and on the endothelium. However, in all cases, little anionic charge is present in the basal lamina. The pores on the endothelium are elliptical and have mean dimensions of 148 × 110 nm. This is in contrast to mammals, which have smaller, round pores. The epithelial pores in G. gallus measure approximately 35 nm in length, approximately 4 times larger than those found in mammals. These results indicate that the avian glomerulus may allow the filtration of larger molecules from the plasma than occurs in mammals and that the charge on the molecule may not be as restrictive a filtration characteristic as in mammals. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Summary Scanning electron microscopy of corroded resin casts of the renal vasculature of Scyliorhinus caniculus has revealed a novel vascular pathway arising from the afferent arteriole and bypassing the glomerulus. This glomerulus bypass shunt occurred in 36% of the glomerular casts examined. The shunt ran to join a peritubular network of capillaries and thereby offers the potential to vary the degree of glomerular perfusion and control the proportion of active glomeruli. In 29% of glomeruli two efferent arterioles drained the capillary knot. Glomeruli were located close to the dorsal margin of the posterior mass of the kidney, and towards the lateral edge of the anterior lobes of the kidney of female dogfish. In male dogfish, glomeruli were evenly distributed through the posterior mass of kidney, while in female dogfish 89% of glomeruli occurred in the posterior mass and 11% of glomeruli were located within the small anterior lobes. 相似文献

Renal vasculature of the trout demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy, compared with canine glomerular vessels. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In order to gain additional information regarding renal circulatory patterns, we have used both ink and resin injections to study the arterial supply to the mesonephric kidney of trout. Arterial injections through the dorsal aorta with ink were made for histological preparations in which the length, termination and relationship of glomerular vessels were examined. Similar injections with methyl methacrylate were made in preparation of corrosion casts to provide us with gross replicas of the aortic branches to the kidney as well as casts of glomerular structure for scanning electron microscopy. The sequence of vessels through which arterial blood passed to the renal corpuscle and ultimately to the uriniferous tubules was traced. Each afferent arteriole was found to terminate in three to six branches which formed anastomosing circuits of capillaries; these vessels reunited at the hilum to form a single efferent arteriole. The efferent arterioles in trun traveled a short distance to peritubular capillary beds and sinusoids. Morphological evidence was found for preglomerular sphincter-like action only. The glomerular vessels were found to be similar to, although less complex than, those of the outer and mid-cortical regions of the dog kidney. 相似文献

Scanning electron microscopy of corrosion casts was used to study the ultrastructural morphology of the microcirculation in the feline kidney. The technique used enabled us to examine the renal microvasculature by obtaining stable and consistent replicas of the vasculature. Corrosion casts were evaluated at three different levels, namely subcapsular, midcortical and the corticomedullary junction. The interlobular arteries, given off by the arcuate arteries, coursed through the cortex in a radial fashion and afferent arterioles were given off at varying intervals. Large afferent arterioles formed the glomerular capillary lobules which consisted of very tortuous capillaries. Smaller-diameter efferent arterioles were formed at the vascular pole and ran in the opposite direction to the afferent arteriole. The peritubular plexuses were seen as interconnecting capillaries at both the subcapsular, midcortical and corticomedullary junction. Numerous efferent arterioles, derived from the corticomedullary glomeruli, were seen as large, radiating vessels running towards the renal papilla. 相似文献

Summary Light and scanning electron microscopic observations were made on methyl-methacrylate corrosion casts of the blood vessels in the gills of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus). The vasculature of the gill filament can be divided into three distinct pathways: 1. the well-known respiratory circulation which includes the afferent filamental artery (AF), afferent lamellar arteriole (AL), lamella (L), efferent lamellar arteriole (EL) and efferent filamental artery (EF), 2. a nutritive pathway from the EF through small nutritive capillaries (NC) and into one of several filamental veins (FV), and 3. an interlamellar circulation in which small prelamellar arterio-venous anastomoses (PAVA) connect the AL into a series of organized vascular spaces (interlamellar vessels, ILV's) that underlie the interlamellar filamental epithelium. Several sinuslike spaces associated with AF, EF and the filamental cartilagenous support were also observed. The physiological significance of these vascular pathways is discussed.Supported in part by NSF Grant No. PCM 76-16840The authors wish to acknowledge the assistance of Mr. P. Holbert, Miss K.

The innervation of the dorsal aorta and renal vasculature in the toad (Bufo marinus) has been studied with both fluorescence and ultrastructural histochemistry. The innervation consists primarily of a dense plexus of adrenergic nerves associated with all levels of the preglomerular vasculature. Non-adrenergic nerves are occasionally found in the renal artery, and even more rarely near the afferent arterioles. Many of the adrenergic nerve profiles in the dorsal aorta and renal vasculature are distinguished by high proportions of chromaffin-negative, large, filled vesicles. Close neuromuscular contacts are common in both the renal arteries and afferent arterioles. Possibly every smooth muscle cell in the afferent arterioles is multiply innervated. The glomerular capillaries and peritubular vessels are not innervated, and only 3-5% of efferent arterioles are accompanied by single adrenergic nerve fibres. Thus, nervous control of glomerular blood flow must be exerted primarily by adrenergic nerves acting on the preglomerular vasculature. The adrenergic innervation of the renal portal veins and efferent renal veins may play a role in regulating peritubular blood flow. In addition, glomerular and postglomerular control of renal blood flow could be achieved by circulating agents acting via contractile elements in the glomerular mesangial cells, and in the endothelial cells and pericytes of the efferent arterioles. Some adrenergic nerve profiles near afferent arterioles are as close as 70 nm to distal tubule cells, indicating that tubular function may be directly controlled by adrenergic nerves. 相似文献

Summary The adrenergic innervation of the juxtaglomerular complex was studied in kidneys from mice, rats, guinea-pigs, rabbits, cats, dogs, pigs, monkeys, and humans using fluorescence histochemistry of neuronal nor-adrenaline and autoradiography of 3H-noradrenaline. The localization of the nerves was established by phase contrast optics or by perfusing the vascular system with India ink. Adrenergic nerve terminals, exhibiting a formaldehyde-induced fluorescence and having the ability to take up and accumulate 3H-noradrenaline, were easily identified when they enclosed the glomerular afferent arteriole. They continued in between and close to the macula densa and lacis cells to supply the glomerular efferent arteriole. The nerves could be seen to accompany this arteriole for a considerable distance until they branched off to the vasa recta in the juxtamedullary region and to adjacent cortical veins. This innervation pattern was found to be a constant feature except in kidneys from guinea-pigs and cats, in which post-glomerular adrenergic nerves were not found in some of the superficial glomerular units. The fluorescence in all adrenergic fibres supplying the juxtaglomerular complex disappeared after removal of the aortico-renal ganglion, showing that they belong to a common system of renal sympathetic nerves.This work is dedicated to Professor Wolfgang Bargmann in honour of his seventieth birthday, January 26, 1976 相似文献

Summary Vascularization of the pig mesonephros was investigated in embryos 5–8 cm in length. Vascular injections with microfil were cleared and dissected; corrosion casts were studied under the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Perfusion-fixed tissue was used for SEM and transmission electron microscope (TEM) studies, including freeze-fracture specimens.The branches of one mesonephric artery carry up to 15 glomeruli. Several glomeruli occupy the same arterial branch, with very short afferent arterioles proper. The efferent vessels, frequently 2–5, leave the extensive vascular pole opposite the entering arteriole and split into peritubular capillaries radiating towards the superficial veins. These capillaries form vascular regions in the shape of flattened pyramids. Along its course, one nephron is supplied by vessels derived from 4–7 glomeruli. The nephrons have less vascular contact than in the definitive kidney.The ultrastructure of the single mesonephric vessels matches the metanephric counterparts. Epithelioid cells with renin granules are common in afferent arterioles, larger arteries, and efferent vessels. The lobulated glomeruli are up to 750 m long and flattened, showing the usual features of podocytes, mesangial cells, and an attenuated endothelium with fenestrations between 50 and 250 m. It partially retains its own basement membrane. There is no proximal mesangium.Supported by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. 相似文献

Dog kidneys were stored three hours at 4 degrees C in heparinized homologous blood. Their histological examination revealed the presence of a homogeneous precipitate in the glomerular capillaries and afferent and efferent arterioles, and histochemical analysis indicated that it consisted of glycoprotein. It is tentatively suggested that the substance is cryoglobulin, a conclusion supported by the disappearance of the deposit on reimplantation of the kidney. 相似文献

Out of 49 serially studied juxtaglomerular apparatuses, 6 typical variants from two normal human kidneys were reconstructed graphically. The agranular Goormaghtigh cells filled the entire space between the macula densa, the afferent and the efferent arterioles and the glomerular mesangium. The Goormaghtigh cells were always in direct contact with all the other structures. They also invariably continued into the glomerular mesangium. The distal tubule regularly showed widening in the macula densa segment and, at this level, there was considerable variation in the shape of the distal tubule. Direct contact between the macula densa and the hilar arterioles was not always present, the area of contact was usually greater with the afferent than with the efferent arteriole. 相似文献

Morphology and ultrastructure of the gills of terrestrial crabs (Crustacea,Gecarcinidae and Grapsidae): Adaptations for air-breathing 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary The terrestrial crabsGeograpsus grayi, Geograpsus crinipes, Cardisoma hirtipes andGecarcoidea natalis have a reduced number of gills and show a reduced planar gill surface (SA) compared to aquatic species. Gill lamellae are stiffened and thickened (increasing blood/gas (BG) diffusion distances) and nodules maintain wide spacing between lamellae. Haemolymph is directed through the gill lamellae by rows of pillar cells and in the afferent region an intralamellar septum splits the haemolymph into two parallel networks. Gaps in the lines of pillar cells allow movement of haemolymph between adjacent channels. The afferent vessel distributes haemolymph to the lamella via a number of direct channels including the marginal canal and in large gills with the aid of a long, forked sinus which supplies the ventral and central regions of the lamellae. The marginal canal functions in both distribution and collection of haemolymph; the role varies with species. Potential flow-control sites were identified at the junctions between afferent and efferent areas and where the efferent channels enter the efferent branchial vessel. Each gill receives a branch from the sternal artery which supplies all the lamellae. Transport epithelia is the principal cell type in the gills of all species examined though its location varies between species, either being confined to certain gills or specific parts of the lamellae.The gill lamellae of air-breathing crabs are clearly modified to breathe air (stiffening and presence of nodules), though the overall contribution of the gills to gas exchange has been reduced (smaller SA and longer BG diffusion distances). The role of the gills in air-breathing crabs thus appears to have switched from one of an efficient aquatic gas-exchanger (thin with large surface area) and transport tissue, to one that is predominantly set up for ion-regulation.Abbreviations

Light and electron microscopy of the excretory kidney of adolescent dogfish, Scyliorhinus caniculus (L.), revealed immature and mature nephrons as well as four developmental stages of nephrons. At stage I the nephron was characterized by a condensed mass of mesenchymal cells in the center of several concentric layers of connective tissue. At stage II of the nephron, the S-shaped body was an elongate cyst with a high prismatic epithelium that was connected by a developing collecting tubule with the collecting duct system. At stage III, the developing nephrons already possess the essential features of the mature nephron but lack complete differentiation. Developing renal corpuscles had one afferent arteriole and two efferent vessels. Developing tubules ran four times between the lateral bundle zone and the mesial tissue zone before they joined the collecting duct system. A continuous sheath of flat cells, encompassing the collecting duct system, extended around the developing lateral bundle. A rudimentary central vessel ran from the developing lateral bundle to the venous sinusoid capillaries between the mesial convolutions. Developmental stage IV was similar to the mature nephron, however, renal corpuscles and tubular segments were smaller than those of mature nephrons. Conclusive evidence for morphological homology of elasmobranch nephron segments and collecting tubule-collecting duct system with those of other vertebrates is provided. The origin and nature of the central vessel and the bundle sheath is clarified. These specific structures of marine elasmobranch kidney supposedly are of great functional relevance for the renal countercurrent system that in turn is essential for ion- and osmo-regulation. 相似文献

Arterio-arterio and arterio-venous vasculatures in the gills of eelAnguilla japonica, carpCyprinus carpio, and yellowtailSeriola quinqueradiata were examined by resin-replica method. Their ampullae and anastomotic capillaries of secondary lamellae exhibited species differences in the structural features. In the infusion of resin into the eel gills for 2, 5, and 10 min, the replica of afferent companion vessels, central venous sinus, efferent companion vessel, and afferent artery was produced, but that of the capillaries in secondary lamellae and efferent artery was not recognizable. This finding suggests more abundant blood circulation in the arteriovenous vasculature than in the arterio-arterio one. 相似文献
