Electron Microscopic Study of the Parathyroid Gland of the Mouse.

Several reports have been published on electron microscopic study of the parathyroid glands. Trier 1l described the fine structure of the parathyroid gland of the macaque monkey, Lever 2l 3l and Davis and Enders 'l made electron microscopic studies of the rat parathyroid under both normal and experimentally stimulated conditions, while Lange 5l and Holzmann and Lange 61 examined human parathyroid adenomas and Munger and Roth 7l investigated the normal parathyroid glands of man and deer by light and electron microscopes. In the present paper are reported some observations on the fine structure of the parathyroid gland of the mouse employing the electron microscope.
