    Notes: Summary The excretory ducts of the silk glands which produce the viscid spiral of the webs ofAraneus diadematus show a complex structure. The duct of aggregate glands consists of three superposed types of cells. Several connective layers cover large and irregular nodule-forming cells which are rich in glycogen and mitochondria surrounded by invaginations of the plasma membranes. The internal cells, whose apical poles are lined by a cuticular intima, would be quite ordinary if not for the fact that they often carry large vacuoles which seem to empty themselves by exocytosis. Activity in the nodule cells is perceived from variations in the glycogen level and from the appearance of the mitochondria. Internal cells of the duct, when within the posterior spinneret, gradually acquire the characteristics of absorbing cells. The duct of flagelliform glands consists of two types of cells. The external cells, bounded by a simple basal lamina, are rich in mitochondria, glycogen, and invaginations of the plasma membranes; their activity is shown by variations in glycogen level and the extent of the extracellular spaces. The internal cells show numerous mitochondria either at the apical or basal poles, variable glycogen levels, long microvilli, and signs of apical absorption by pinocytosis; the sub-cuticular layer of the intima is particularly thick. We propose a functional interpretation of the aspects described above, and discuss it in terms of recent data on the chemical composition of silks. The excretory ducts are held to modify, by their activity, the secretory products of both types of glands. Solutes, especially phosphate ions, cross both cells and intima and would enter the glue of the aggregate glands which then undergoes partial dehydration in the posterior spinnerets. The product of the flagelliform glands seems to all appearance dehydrated during its passage in the duct and up to about the half-way through the posterior spinnerets. The liquid would flow through an extracellular path below the apical septate junctions of the internal cells. This study therefore favours attributing important role to the excretory ducts of silk glands in the final phase of the formation of silk fibres by spiders.

    Notes: Synopsis The lingual glands of amphibians are confined to the dorsal face of the tongue and are formed by invaginations of the lingual epithelium. The secretory products have a heterogeneous composition. Mucosubstances are usually associated with proteins. The secretory product of the outer glandular cells is rich in mucosubstances of an acidity varying with species. In Anourans and Urodeles, the secretory product of the tubes contains abundant proteins and, where present, mucosubstances are less abundant and less acid than those produced at the surface of the tongue. Proteins and mucosubstances coexist in the same secretory granules, which exhibit a more or less homogeneous appearence in Gymnophiona and in Anourans while having a complex structure in Urodeles. In spite of their primitive anatomical features, the amphibian lingual glands present histochemical signs of a complete cellular evolution.

    Notes: Summary Immunofluorescence and electron microscopy were used to analyze the relationships between the organization of collagen fibrils in elasmoid scales, and the orientation of microtubules and actin microfilaments in the scleroblasts producing this collagenous stroma. Attention was focused on the basal plate of the scales because of the highly ordered three-dimensional arrangement of the collagen fibrils in superimposed plies forming an acellular plywood-like structure. The collagen fibrils are synthesized by the scleroblasts forming a monolayered pseudo-epithelium, the hyposquama, at the lowest surface of the scale. Fully developed scales with a low collagen deposition rate were compared with regenerating scales active in fibrillogenesis. When an ordered array of the collagen fibrils is found, the innermost collagen fibrils are coaligned with microtubules and actin microfilaments. Thus, because of this coalignment, microtubules and actin microfilaments of the hyposquamal scleroblasts are subjected to consecutive alterations during the formation of the plies of the basal plate. The sequence of events when the collagen fibrils change their direction from one ply to the other in the basal plate is deduced from immunofluorescence and phase-contrast-microscopic observations. During the formation of the orthogonal plywood-like structure in the regenerating scales, first microtubules may change their curse with a rotating angle of about 90°; then, actin microfilaments are disorganized and reorganized by interacting mechanically with the microtubules with which they are coaligned. Collagen fibrils are synthesized in a direction that is roughly perpendicular to that of the preceding ply. The unknown signals inducing the change in direction of the cytoskeleton may be transmitted throughout the hyposquama via gap junctions.

    Description / Table of Contents: Resumé Des précisions concernant les aspects ultrastructuraux des dépôts minéraux dans les écailles deCarassius auratus ont été obtenues grâce à l'utilisation de la congélation ultra-rapide suivie d'une cryosubstitution en milieu anhydre. Ces données sont comparées à celles fournies par les méthodes usuelles utilisant des fixateurs aqueux. La couche externe des écailles comprend des fibres collagènes disposées sans ordre apparent. Les dépôts minéraux se produisent surtout dans la substance interfibrillaire où des granules denses semblent représenter des sites actifs au cours de la minéralisation apparentée au type sphéritique. La plaque basale comporte deux catégories de fibres collagènes. Les unes, les plus nombreuses, de plus fort diamètre, sont organisées en lamelles formant une structure en contre-plaqué; les autres appelées “fibres TC”, orientées de la base de l'écaille vers la zone superficielle, jouent un rôle important dans les premières phases de la minéralisation de type inotropique dans cette partie de l'écaille. Dans les deux couches de l'écaille, la phase minérale est surtout trouvée dans la substance interfibrillaire. De ce fait, les écailles élasmoides des Téleostéens peuvent être distinguées des autres écailles dermiques connues de Vertébrés inférieurs.
    Notes: Summary New data on the ultrastructural features of the elasmoid scales ofCarassius auratus have been obtained by use of rapid freezing with subsequent freeze-substitution in anhydrous solvents. These are compared with the results obtained using conventional aqueous fixatives. The external layer of the scales is composed of randomly oriented collagen fibres. In the first stages of mineralization, mineral deposits are located in the interfibrillary substance where dense granules appear to be active sites of mineralization. Spheritic mineralization occurs in this layer. The fibrillary plate is composed of two kinds of collagen fibres. Most of them are organized in lamellae forming the “plywood-like structure”. They are thicker than the so-called “TC fibres”, which are oriented from the basal part towards the superficial layer. These TC fibres are involved in the first stages of mineral deposition in the fibrillary plate where inotropic mineralization occurs. The mineral phase is almost always located in the interfibrillary matrix in both layers of the elasmoid scale. In this respect, teleost scales differ from those described so far in other lower vertebrates.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le canal des glandes ampullacées d'Araneus diadematus comprend trois longs segments entourés d'une même gaine conjonctive pluristratifiée et riche en glycogène. La structure générale de ces segments est caractérisée par un épithélium simple reposant sur une lame basale fibrillaire et une intima cuticulaire épaisse. Les cellules épithéliales sont riches en microtubules et leur apex est garni de microvillosités. L'intima cuticulaire comporte une sous-cuticule pourvue de mucopolysaccharides acides, une endocuticule, et une épicuticule de structure classique. L'endocuticule est formée de deux sortes de bandes, en alternance, claires ou denses aux électrons, enroulées en spirale le long du manchon cuticulaire; les bandes denses comprennent un réseau de canalicules contournés et anastomosés; le matériel des bandes claires ne présente pas de structure apparente. Dans la partie proximale du premier segment du canal, les cellules épithéliales sont plus riches en microtubules; les microvillositées apicales sont plus rares; la sous-cuticule disparaît et l'endocuticule, devenue cinq fois plus épaisse que dans les autres segments, est formée, du côté des cellules, d'un réseau à larges mailles présentant une infrastructure canaliculaire, et, du côté de l'épicuticule, d'une zone granulo-fibreuse. La jonction proprement dite du canal et de l'ampoule glandulaire est réalisée grâce à une différenciation de l'épicuticule et des membranes plasmiques des cellules glandulaires proximales. Il est proposé de relier les structures décrites à des fonctions de deux types; la structure du segment proximal du canal serait propre à amortir des déformations consécutives au passage des produits de sécrétion; celle des segments suivants paraît correspondre à des phénomènes d'absorption d'eau qui se produiraient depuis la lumière du canal jusqu'au milieu intérieur de l'araignée.
    Notes: Summary The ampullate gland duct in Araneus diadematus consists of three long segments surrounded by the same sheath of multi-layered conjunctival tissue rich in glycogen. The duct segments have a single epithelial layer resting on a fibrillar basement membrane and a thick cuticular intima. The epithelial cells are rich in microtubules and their apices carry microvilli. The cuticular intima consists of an acid-mucopolysaccharide-rich sub-cuticle, an endocuticle, and a classical epicuticle. The endocuticle shows two types of alternating bands, which are electron-dense or clear, and are spirally wound over the length of the cuticular stem. The dense bands contain a network of twisted and anastomosing canaliculi. The clear bands do not show any obvious structural patterns. In the proximal end of the first segment, the epithelial cells are richer in microtubules than in other parts of the duct, the number of apical microvilli decreases, the sub-cuticle disappears, and the endocuticle, which becomes five times thicker than in the other segments, forms a loose network showing an infrastructure of canaliculi towards the cells, and a fibrous, granular zone towards the epicuticle. The actual junction of the duct and the glandular ampulla is effected by a differentiation of the epicuticle and the plasma membranes of the proximal glandular cells. We propose that the structures of the proximal segment of the duct lend themselves to a deformation that follows the passage of secretory products; the structure of the following segments seems to be related to water absorption from the duct lumen towards hemolymph.
