Secretion from Human Apocrine Glands: An Electron Microscopic Study

Electron microscopic study on human eccrine sweat glands.

Electron microscope observations on eccrine sweat glands have been carried out by many workers, namely on human eccrine swear glands by HIBBS (1958), IIJIMA (1959), CHRALES (1960), KUROSUMI et al. (1960), and MUNGER (1961) and on those of animals by KITAMURA (1958), MUNGER et al. (1961), ELLIS et al. (1961), MATSUZAWA et al. (1963), KUROSUMI et al. (1964) and TERZAKIS (1964). Already by means o...

The normal human eccrine and apocrine glands.

Preliminary to a study of benign appendageal tumors of the skin, the results of which will be published separately, the following study of normal apocrine and eccrine glands was undertaken. The use of the periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and Alcian Blue (AB) stains separately on tissue sections and the clarification of the two color reactions of the PAS stain by Alcian Blue (1) has lead to a better h...

Normal human lymph node cells: an electron microscopic study.

LTHOUGH AN EXTENSIVE literature has accumtilated on the electron microscopy of mammalian lymph nodes, the ultrastructure of normal nodes of human origin has received less attention. Bernhard and Granboulan1 and Granhoulan2 have reported on the ultrastructure of human lymph node cells, and recently Bernhard and Leplus have published an atlas containing electron micrographs of cells from normal a...

Horner's syndrome: an electron microscopic study of a human iris.

Electron microscopy was performed on the irides of a man with a history of a long standing Horner's syndrome which resulted in iris heterochromia. Comparison of his normal brown iris with the depigmented blue iris showed depletion of anterior border cells and absence of sympathetic nerve fibres. Stromal melanocyte numbers were also diminished but melanosome numbers within the residual cells wer...
