    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die licht- und elektronenmikroskopische Untersuchung der Tentakel und der Colloblasten der Ctenophore Pleurobrachia pileus ergab: 1. Die in Mesogloea eingelagerte glatte Muskulatur des Tentakels und der Fangfäden wird von einer perimuskulären Zone umgeben, die durch eine einschichtige Lage abgeplatteter Zellen (Deckschicht) nach außen begrenzt wird. Durch diese Zone, die freie Zellen und sulfathaltige Mukosubstanzen enthält, verlaufen die Stiele der Colloblasten. Ihr peripherer Abschnitt tritt durch interzelluläre Lücken in der Deckschicht hindurch und setzt sich in den Kopf des Colloblasten fort. Die kalottenförmigen Köpfe der Colloblasten liegen auf der Außenfläche der Deckschicht und werden von Cytoplasmalamellen ihrer Zellen umfaßt. Inmitten des Tentakels befindet sich ein axialer Gewebsstrang, der wahrscheinlich Nervenfasern enthält. 2. Als elektronenmikroskopisches Äquivalent der sulfathaltigen Mukosubstanzen in der perimuskulären Zone werden reichlich vorkommende Blasen angesehen, die von Zellen der Deckschicht abgegeben werden. Diese Substanzen dürften zur Plastizität der perimuskulären Zone beitragen und damit Verschiebungen der Muskelstränge gegen die sie umhüllende Deckschicht begünstigen. 3. Der Colloblast ist eine gestielte Zelle mit rübenförmigem Kern, die in der Oberfläche des Tentakels verankert ist. Die Achse ihres Stiels bildet ein Tubus, an dessen basales Ende sich eine massendichte, an eine Lampenbürste erinnernde Wurzel anschließt. Die Lichtung des Tubus enthält eine vermutlich halbflüssige Substanz. Der Tubus wird von einem Cytoplasmamantel umschlossen, aus dem sich eine Gruppe parallelisierter, longitudinal verlaufender Leisten erhebt. Diese Leisten umziehen den Stiel als langgestreckte Spirale und gehen an der Basis des Colloblastenkopfes in dessen Cytoplasma über. Ebenso stehen sie mit dem die Wurzel enthaltenden Cytoplasmakeil in kontinuierlichem Zusammenhang. Dieser Keil senkt sich in die Mesogloea der Tentakeloberfläche ein. Die Frage, ob die Stiele der Colloblasten kontraktil sind, muß in Untersuchungen am lebenden oder überlebenden Objekt geprüft werden. Anhaltspunkte für die Existenz von Strukturen im Colloblastenstiel, die als Substrat einer Kontraktilität angesehen werden können, wurden nicht gewonnen. 4. Unmittelbar unter dem Plasmalemm des Colloblastenkopfes liegen im Halbkreis angeordnete Sekretkugeln, die durch je einen Radius mit einem zentralen massendichten Sternkörper in Verbindung stehen. Dieser Sternkörper bildet die Fortsetzung der Wand des Tubusabschnittes, der in die Kalottenbasis eingebettet ist. Dem Sternkörper und dem Tubus lagert der Zellkern eng an. Weite Strecken seiner Oberfläche werden nicht von einer Kernmembran umschlossen. Das Cytoplasma des Colloblastenkopfes enthält wenige Mitochondrien (Cristatypus), einige Membranen des rauhen endoplasmatischen Retikulums und des Golgi-apparates, einzelne zarte Filamente und Vesikel verschiedenen Inhalts. 5. Die von einer Membran umhüllten Sekretkugeln (Globuli, Durchmesser durchschnittlich 0.9mμ) des Colloblastenkopfes stehen zu den stempelartig verbreiterten Enden der Radii des Sternkörpers regelmäßig in enger räumlicher Beziehung. Zwischen ihrer Membran und der Stempelfläche breitet sich eine dünne, anscheinend aus kurzen Stäbchen aufgebaute Platte aus; ihr pflegt eine Verdichtung der Globulisubstanz gegenüber zu liegen. In dem gleichmäßig granulierten Inhalt der Kugeln bildet sich eine weitere Schale parallel zur Kugeloberfläche aus. Das Plasmalemm des Colloblasten trägt im Bereich der Sekretkugeln einen niedrigen zarten Härchenbesatz. 6. In schalenartigen Vertiefungen in der Oberfläche des Colloblastenkopfes liegen Vesikel (Durchmesser 0.8–0.9 mμ), deren Inhalt aus teils homogenem, sehr massendichtem, teils feinkörnig strukturiertem Material besteht. Es wird angenommen, daß die Umwandlung des Inhalts der Sekretkugeln und ihre Extrusion rasch abläuft, da Stadien einer allmählichen Reifung der Sekretkugeln nicht beobachtet wurden. Der Inhalt der Vesikel wird — wahrscheinlich bei der Berührung mit der Beute — durch Platzen ihrer Membranen freigesetzt. 7. Ein Teil der Zellen der Deckschicht ist durch einen Stiel der beschriebenen Bauweise mit der Tentakeloberfläche verbunden und trägt die ultrastrukturellen Merkmale einer Stoffproduktion. In ihnen liegen kugelige Vesikel verschiedener Größe, die einen mäßig dichten homogenen Inhalt beherbergen. Gestielte Zellen der Deckschicht, die derartige Einschlüsse aufweisen, werden als Procolloblasten gedeutet. Die nicht gestielten Zellen der Deckschicht enthalten teils kleinere, teils größere Blasen, die offenbar in die perimuskuläre Zone abgegeben werden; sie werden als Produzenten der hier nachweisbaren sulfathaltigen Mukosubstanzen aufgefaßt. 8. Die unmittelbare Umgebung des Wurzelkeils des Colloblastenstiels ist durch lange, spiralig gewundene, aus Filamenten aufgebaute Fasersträhnen mit der Oberfläche der glatten Muskelzellen verbunden. Als Ort der Insertion und der Entstehung dieser Strähnen werden die zahlreichen zackenartigen Fortsätze angesehen, die sich aus der Oberfläche der Myozyten in die intermuskuläre Mesogloea erheben. 9. Jede Muskelzelle des Tentakels und seiner Fangfäden ist mit einem Tubuluskomplex ausgestattet, der unmittelbar unter ihrem Plasmalemm liegt und mit Mitochondrien vergesellschaftet ist. 10. Das verbreitete Schema des Colloblasten von Komai (z.B. Hyman, 1940; Barnes, 1963; Kaestner, 1969; Grassé, Poisson und Tuzet, 1970) muß auf Grund der mitgeteilten Befunde aufgegeben werden.
    Notes: Summary Tentacles and colloblasts of the Ctenophore Pleurobrachia pileus have been investigated light- and electron microscopically. Among others the results are as follows: 1. The smooth muscle cells of the tentacle and its branches are embedded in mesogloea and surrounded by a perimuscular zone bounded by a layer of flat covering cells. This zone contains the stalks of the colloblasts, free cells and sulfated mucosubstances. The nucleus containing part of the stalk passes through intercellular gaps between the covering cells. Cytoplasmic lamellae of the latter embrace the head of the colloblasts which are attached to the outer surface of the covering layer. The axis of the tentacle and its branches consist of a strand of tissue which presumably contains nerve fibres. 2. Balloon-like vesicles which originate from the covering cells are considered to represent the electron microscopical equivalent of the mucosubstances occurring in the perimuscular zone. These substances might favour any gliding movements of the muscular stem against the surrounding covering cell layer. 3. Colloblasts are cells with an elongated turnip-shaped nucleus and are provided with a stalk anchored in the surface of the tentacles. The axis of the stalk contains a tube of almost constant diameter the basis of which is in continuity with an electron dense radix situated in a wedge-shaped cytoplasmic area. The tube filled with a possibly semifluid material is wrapped by a cytoplasmic sheath. This sheath extends into parallelized longitudinally orientated and slightly spiralized cristae. These cristae are in continuity with the perikaryon of the colloblast and with the cytoplasmic wedge containing the radix. The question whether the colloblast stalks are contractile or not deserves further in vivo observations. Structures commonly considered to be responsible for their contractility have not been found. 4. Immediately below the plasmalemma of the colloblasts' heads secretory globules are situated in regular order which are connected by electron dense radii with a central core—both radii and core, forming a star-shaped body. This body is in continuity with that part of the wall of the tube which is embedded in the cytoplasm of the head. The elongated nucleus of the colloblast is closely attached to the core of the star-shaped body and to the intracellular tube. A special feature of the nucleus is its lack of a nuclear membrane over great parts of its surface. The cytoplasm of the head contains a few mitochondria (crista-type), a small amount of rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, isolated filaments and vesicles of various contents. 5. The membrane bounded secretory globules (diameter approx. 0.9 mμ) in the head of the colloblast are regularly connected with stamp-shaped endings of the radii of the star-shaped body. Between the membrane of the globules and the feet of the radius a disc is intercalated which apparently consists of small rods. Within the evenly granulated material of the globule a second membrane or parts of it are to be observed. The plasmalemma of the colloblast covering the globules bears a coat of tiny bristles. 6. Indentations of the surface of the head contain vesicles (diameter approx. 0.8–0.9mμ) the content of which is partly homogenous and electron dense, partly fine granular. It is assumed that the transformation of the intraglobular material into the characteristic contents of these vesicles and their extrusion happens rapidly; phases of a slow maturation of the secretory globules have not been observed. It is further suggested that the material enveloped by the membranes of the vesicles—its nature still being unknown—is released by rupture of the membrane, if the colloblast contacts any prey of the animal. 7. Some cells of the covering layer reach the surface of the tentacle by a stalk exhibiting the structure already described. The ultrastructure of these cells is characteristic of secretory elements. Their cytoplasm contains spheroidal vesicles of different sizes filled with material of medium electron density. These cells are tentatively named Procolloblasts. The majority of the covering cells contains numerous vesicles, partly balloon-like, and releases these particles into the perimuscular zone. These materials are interpreted as to represent sulfated mucosubstances. 8. In the vicinity of the radix very long helical fibres occur regularly, built up by fine filaments. These curl-like fibres are connected with the protrusions of the muscle cells. Possibly these processes are the site of origin of the curls. 9. Each muscle cell is provided with a so-called tubular complex in its peripheral cytoplasm, associated with mitochondria. 10. The wide-spread scheme of the Colloblast presented by Komai (1922) and reproduced in a series of textbooks has to be abandoned.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Das Nebennierenmark der Ratte wurde nach Anwendung verschiedener Fixationsmethoden untersucht. Nach Immersionsfixation mit Glutaraldehyd oder Osmiumtetroxyd finden sich in der Nebenniere sog. Mischzellen, helle Zellen, syncytiale oder plasmodiale Zellen, die von den Untersuchern als Artefaktbildungen angesehen werden. In allen Proben nach Perfusionsfixation wurden solche Artefaktbildungen niemals beobachtet. Bei Immersionsfixation wurde eine enge Beziehung zwischen Sekretgranula und Cytoplasmamembran beobachtet, was bei Perfusionsfixation selten der Fall war. Die heutigen Theorien über den Sekretionsmechanismus bei Nebennierenmarkzellen werden aufgrund der vorgelegten Ergebnisse diskutiert. Die Arbeit zeigt die wesentlichen Vorteile der Anwendung der Perfusionsfixation für die Untersuchung der Nebenniere.
    Notes: Summary The adrenal medulla of the rat was studied utilizing various methods of fixation. In adrenal medulla specimens after immersion fixation either with glutaraldehyde or osmium tetroxide, elements such as mixed, clear, syncytial, or plasmodial cells, believed to be of artifactual origin, are observed in all of this material examined. These elements are absent in the specimens prepared by perfusion fixation. In specimens prepared by immersion fixation, secretory granules are found in close proximity to the plasma membrane; this localization is infrequent after perfusion fixation. Current theories of the mechanism of secretion of adrenal medullary hormones are discussed on the basis of our results. This investigation demonstrates the advantage and necessity of perfusion fixation in the study of the adrenal medulla.

    Notes: Summary The atrial musculature of rats given the cholesterol inhibitor triparanol (MER/29) (250 mg/kg daily) for 8 days was examined under the electron microscope and compared with that from untreated animals. The sarcoplasmic core of muscle fibers from animals given triparanol exhibited a new formation of sarcoplasmic granules which displayed a crystalline latticework with opaque lines approximately 40–60 Å separated by clear spaces 50–70 Å. They were partially or completely surrounded by a membrane. The crystalline bodies in cardiac muscle fibers were not as numerous as those observed in adrenocortical, testicular interstitial, or luteal cells as reported earlier by the investigators.

    Notes: Summary The innervation of the heart of the plaice has been studied ultrastructurally and histochemically in order to describe the anatomy, and the nature of the neuro-transmitters involved in the regulation of the heart. A single cardiac branch of the vagus runs over the Duct of Cuvier and sinus venosus where it forms a plexus extending into the sinoatrial region. Many ganglion cells are scattered throughout this plexus upon which are seen cholinergic-type terminals at which AChE can be localised. It is therefore concluded that this is the parasympathetic cardiac ganglion. The innervation of the atrium is dense at the sinoatrial end but decreases towards the ventricle. The ventricle is probably aneural, possibly a consequence of the lack of a coronary blood supply to act as a pathway for an innervation of this chamber. Most of the intramural axon profiles contain large numbers of small agranular vesicles and are cholinergic, AChE being localised at their membranes. Other profiles contain small numbers of larger granular vesicles amongst the agranular vesicles but these are not adrenergic since these vesicles are not depleted by reserpine, do not load with 6-OHDA, and AChE can be localised at the membranes of the profiles. No adrenergic-type profiles were seen in any part of the heart, nor were any fluorescent, catecholamine-containing fibres observed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Studie behandelt die Lokalisation von Adenosintriphosphatase an den Feinstrukturen der Malpighischen Gefäße der Larven von Drosophila melanogaster. In den Zellen des Anfangs- und Hauptstückes zeigt sich zum Lumen hin eine Aktivitätszunahme des Enzyms. Es kommt nicht frei im Cytoplasma vor, sondern ist stets an Membranstrukturen gebunden; man findet es am basalen Plasmalemm mit seinen Einfaltungen, am endoplasmatischen Retikulum, an Vesikeln, in multivesikulären Körpern und — besonders deutlich — an den Membranen der Mikrovilli, die in das Gefäßlumen hineinragen. Die Ergebnisse werden in einem Schema (Abb. 5b, c) wiedergegeben und mit den Befunden der Na+-Lokalisation (Wessing und Eichelberg, 1972b) verglichen.
    Notes: Summary This paper describes the localization of adenosine triphosphatase within certain ultrastructural elements of the cells of the initial and main regions of the Malpighian tubules of Drosophila melanogaster larvae. In both regions, an increased activity is observed towards the lumen. The enzyme is always related to such membrane structures as the basement membrane (especially its infolds), vesicles, multivesicular bodies, and densely to microvilli which projects towards the lumen of the renal tubules. The results (presented in a schematic drawing in Fig. 5b and c) are discussed in relation to those on Na+-localization (Wessing and Eichelberg, 1972b).

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Feinstruktur der frischgehäuteten larvalen Cuticula vonBlaberus trapezoideus BURM. wurde mit verschiedenen elektronenmikroskopischen Methoden im Hinblick auf ihre Permeabilitätseigenschaften untersucht. Von besonderem Interesse waren in diesem Zusammenhang der Aufbau der Epicuticula sowie der Verlauf und die Verteilung der Poren- und Wachskanäle. Die Epicuticula setzt sich aus 4 Lagen zusammen: aus der im vorliegenden Fall lamelliertendichten Schicht, derCuticulinschicht, derWachsschicht und derZementschicht. Die Cuticulinschicht, die ein polygonales Oberflächenmuster trägt, wird von den Wachskanälen durchdrungen. Die Wachskanäle entspringen im apikalen Bereich der Procuticula aus den Porenkanälen. Letztere verlaufen bogenförmig durch die procuticulären Lamellen bis zur Epidermis. Die möglichen Funktionen dieses Kanalsystems, das Epidermis und Außenwelt verbindet, werden diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary The fine structure of newly moulted larval cuticles ofBlaberus trapezoideus BURM. was investigated by various electron microscopical techniques in regard to properties of its permeability. The morphology of the epieuticle and pore and wax canals as well as their course and distribution were elucidated. The epicuticle is composed of four layers: (1) the lamellate dense layer, (2) the cuticulin layer, (3) the wax layer, and (4) the cement layer. The cuticulin layer, which shows a polygonal surface pattern, is penetrated by the wax canals arising from the blind ends of the pore canals in the apical region of the procuticle. The pore canals take a winding course through the procuticular lamellae to the epidermis. The functions of this canal system connecting, the internal and external faces of the cuticle are discussed.

    Notes: Summary The ultrastructure of adenohypophysial cells in the Atlantic hagfish (Myxine glutinosa) is described and the morphological evidence for secretory activity is discussed. A scarcity of secretory granules is characteristic of the adenohypophysis of Myxine. Two cell types having the appearance of protein hormone producing cells can be identified. Type 1 has dense membrane-bound granules with a calculated mean diameter of 88 nm while type 2 has larger granules with a mean diameter of 176 nm. The release of secretory granular material follows mainly the “membrane-release” pattern. It is suggested that cell type 1 may produce a hormone which is similar to ACTH/MSH and type 2 another hormone similar to STH/LTH. The basophilic cells contain a secretory material which is similar to the mucus produced in the epithelial mucus cells. Several structural modifications are considered to represent functional compensations for the absence of vascular elements in the gland. Among these are a cytoplasmic tubular system, certain long agranular cells together with long granule-containing projections from cell types 1 and 2, and foliate or finger-like invaginations of the basal lamina.

    Notes: Summary The fine structure of the various hormone-producing cell types (with the exclusion of the prolactin cells) in the pituitary gland (pars distalis) of migratory sockeye salmon is described. All fish were in an advanced stage of sexual maturation. In the proximal pars distalis five cell types were distinguished: growth hormone cells, ACTH cells, gonadotrops, “vesicular cells”, and “chromophobe cells”. Gonadotrops were also found throughout the rostral pars distalis. A conspicuous feature of the gonadotrops was the presence of two kinds of secretory inclusions: small electron-dense granules (200–375 mμ) and large, relatively electron-translucent globules (400–2 000 mμ). The large vesicular cells, so called because of their conspicuous vesicular endoplasmic reticulum, were numerous and often appeared to contain some small granules. It is argued that they may represent a second type of gonadotropic cell, which, in earlier stages of gonad development, contains many granules but becomes largely degranulated near the time of reproduction when the other gonadotrops (“globular gonadotrops”) abound. The chromophobes, which were smaller and far less abundant than the vesicular cells, also appeared to contain small granules (120–280 mμ). They are probably thyrotrops.

    Notes: Summary The fine structure of the ultimobranchial (UB) glands of two common laboratory urodeles, viz., larval axolotls, Ambystoma mexicanum Shaw and adult Pleurodeles waltlii Micahelles, is described and compared in what is believed to be the first ultrastructural report on urodele UB glands. The axolotl UB gland shows a wide variety of form, being represented by an elongated diffuse series of follicles and sometimes by one or two large discrete terminal follicular bodies. In these axolotl UB glands up to four cell categories are distinguishable including a tonofilamentous cell and a secretory cell that is possibly homologous with calcitonin-producing C cells of anurans or other vertebrates. These two cell categories are also found in the Pleurodeles gland. The possible significance of the various cells is considered.

    Notes: Summary In the chick embryo the first membrane-bound secretory granules occur in the cytoplasm of occasional cells in the cephalic lobe of pars distalis at the 7th day of incubation. On the 8th day most of the cells in both the cephalic and caudal lobes contain secretory granules that are variable in size, form and density. On the 9th day at least two types of glandular cells are distinguishable in the cephalic and in the caudal lobes; however, these cells are not comparable with those of the adult gland. Differentiation of acidophils and basophils occurs, apparently simultaneously, in 11-day embryos. The cells of the cephalic and caudal lobes are morphologically distinct from their first appearance. Thus it is concluded that these two lobes develop independently and differently from an early stage of ontogenesis. The secretory granules are formed in the Golgi area of the hypophysial cells after the 8th day of incubation. However, secretory material may be synthesized also by a process not involving the Golgi apparatus. Nerve fibers containing granules first appear in the superficial layer of the median eminence on the 8th embryonic day and by the 12th day three types of granules and two types of clear vesicles are identifiable.
