The Ultrastructure of Mouse Lung Some Remarks regarding the Fine Structure of the Alveolar Basement Membrane* by H. E. Karrer, M.d
نویسنده
چکیده
The fine structure of lung tissue has been a favorite subject of light microscopical studies, but in spite of their large number these investigations did not establish a universally accepted picture of lung histology (1). Only when the electon microscope was used for the first time as an aid in studies of lung tissue (7, 8) could some of the controversial points of lung histology be settled with any degree of certainty. This early work (7, 8) as well as more recent studies (4, 5, 6, 11, 15) dealt primarily with the alveolar epithelium, the endothelium, and the general arrangement of cells within the alveolar walls. In contrast, the present brief report illustrates the fine structure of the alveolar basement membrane.

The Ultrastructure of Mouse Lung
The fine structure of the alveolar basement membrane of mouse lung was discussed on the basis of three electron micrographs. The basement membrane, i.e., the intercellular layer between endothelium and alveolar epithelium, was found to be of variable width. In its thin parts it appeared rather homogeneous, and did not reveal well defined layers of fibrils. In its thicker portions, some of which...

Background: To improve the athletic ability and muscle mass, anabolic androgenic steroids are abused by athletes. Little is known about how these compounds affect the fine structures of the testis. This study aimed to identify the changes in the fine structure of testis following administration of nandrolone decanoate. Methods: Twenty five Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two expe...
متن کاملThe Ultrastructure of Mouse Lung General Architecture of Capillary and Alveolar Walls
The general architecture of capillary and alveolar walls of the mouse lung was studied by means of the electron microscope. In order to minimize tissue damage and to improve the cutting properties of embeddings, several modifications in the tissue processing methods were adopted. These modifications were: fixation by infusion, a prolonged time of dehydration, of impregnation, and of polymerizat...

Background and Objective: Previous studies showed that basement membrane pattern is structuraly different in SCC and BCC tumors. BSCC is an epithelial malignant tumor with two histopathologic pattern similar to SCC and BCC. This study was aimed to compare the basement membrane pattern in SCC , BCC and BSCC tumors . Materials and Methods: In this laboratory study, the medical files of patients...
متن کاملUltrastructure of rat renal tubular basement membrane--meshwork structure demonstration by negative staining.
The tubular basement membrane (TBM) (i.e. tubular basal lamina) of rat kidney was shown to be a fine meshwork by electron microscopy after negative staining. Strands of the meshwork formed a regular three dimensional lattice work. The pores of the meshwork were polygonal. There were two main pore sizes: one approximately 30 A in diameter, the other 42--60 A. In view of our previous observation ...
