A scanning electron microscope study of the developing rat secondary palate.
نویسنده
چکیده
The surfaces of the developing secondary palatal shelves and palate, in Wistar strain albino rats, were examined using scanning electron microscopy. Beginning on the 16th day after insemination there was a progressive degeneration of the cell surfaces on the medial aspect of the shelves. This took the form of a loss of surface microvilli and intercellular boundaries accompanied by the appearance of clefts between the cells. Fusion of the palate was complete by the 18th day and two epithelial zones could be recognized in the soft palate. The cell surface degeneration is possibly an essential change prior to shelf fusion.

The amount of shrinkage and the scanning electron microscope appearance of specimens of rat tongue, soft palate and small intestine, dehydrated by air drying, the critical point technique, the camphene technique and freeze drying were compared. In the specimens of tongue the area shrinkage ranged be tween 11,8 and 30,4 per cent, in the soft palate from 19,8 to 37,4 per cent and in the small i...

Background: The increasing use of nanomaterials and nanoproducts has increased the possibility of contamination of the environment, which may have adverse effects on different organisms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of silver nanoparticles on histopathology and gill ultrastructure of zebrafish (Danio rerio) under laboratory conditions. Methods: Zebrafish were exposed to ...

The ullrastructurc of the surface of epithelial cells has been described by several workers [Wolf 1967, 1968; Bliimckc and Morgcnroth 1967; Whittaker and Adams 1971], All of these showed some form of fine folding on the surface of the cells studied. So constant a finding are these line surface folds that Marowitze/ at. [1970] concluded that their presence is a sign of good tissue processing. Co...
