Abstract:The uItrastructure oft he pigment epithelium and its vascular barrier was examined in the Japanese quail by electron microscopy. Most endothelial pores in the choriocapillaris appear bridged by double diaphragms. The pigment epithelium is characterized by numerous slender basal infoldings, myeloid bodies and phagosomes. Myeloid bodies communicate with the nuclear envelope and profiles of both the rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum.Phagosome formation appears to be accomplished by concomitant activity of the rod itself (curling of apical lamellae) and the apical villi of the pigment epithelium. Within the pigment epithelium cytoplasm the phagosomes undergo degeneration and are associated with increased numbers of lysosomal-like granules.
