Abstract

The endocrine cells of the stomach and duodenum of the pond tortoise (Amyda sinensis) have been studied by electron microscopy. At least six types of endocrine cells could be identified in these regions. Type I cells were characterized by having pleomorphic or medium sized granules ($100{\sim}430nm$ in diameter, mean; 290 nm) which were moderate in electron density. Type II cells were characterized by having pleomorphic or medium sized granules ($190{\sim}430nm$ in diameter, mean; 280 nm) which were high in electron density. Type III cells were characterized by having large oval or irregular granules($170{\sim}650nm$, mean: 430 nm) with wide vesicular halo which were high in electron density. Type IV cells were characterized by having round or medium sized granules($140{\sim}370nm$, mean; 240 nm) which were low to moderate in electron density and showed a very thin halo. Type V cells were characterized by having large round or oval granules($300{\sim}600nm$, mean; 410 nm) which were low to moderate in electron density and showed a dense core and a wide clear halo. Microfilaments were also found in the cytoplasm. Type VI cells were characterized by having round and small granules($100{\sim}220nm$, mean; 160 nm) which were low to moderate in electron density and showed a very thin halo or crystalline structure of the contents. Many microfilament bundles were also found in the cytoplasm.

자라의 위 및 십이지장에 출현하는 내분비세포의 형태를 알아보기 위하여 전자현미경으로 관찰을 행하였던 바, 과립의 크기, 형태, 전자밀도 및 세포의 형태 등에 의해 다음과 같이 6종의 세포형으로 구분할 수 있었다. I형 : 직경 $100{\sim}430nm$(평균 290nm)로서 전자밀도가 낮고 많은 수의 다양한 형태의 과립을 가진 것. II형 : 직경 $190{\sim}430nm$(평균 280nm)로서 높은 전자밀도를 나타내며 다양한 형태의 과립을 가진 것, III형 : 직경 $170{\sim}650nm$(평균 430nm)로서 전자밀도가 높고 과립막과 내용물 사이에 넓은 halo를 형성하는 과립을 가진 것. IV형 : 직경 $140{\sim}370nm$(평균 240nm)로서 전자밀도가 대체로 낮고 과립막과 내용물이 밀착된 과립을 가진 깃. V형 : 직경 $300{\sim}600nm$(평균 410nm)로서 전자밀도는 낮거나 중등도이며, 과립은 곽립막과 내용물 사이에 명확한 halo를 형성하고, 세포질내 미세섬유를 가지는 것. VI형 : 직경 $100{\sim}220nm$(평균 160nm)로서 대체로 소형의 과립을 가지며, 전자밀도는 다양하고 과립은 과립막과 내용물 사이에 halo를 형성하는 것, 밀착된 것 또는 내용물이 결정구조를 나타내는 것 등으로 다양하며 세포질내 풍부한 미세섬유를 가지는 것.
