Notes:
Summary The ventricular surface of the paraventricular organ in the domestic fowl is covered with supraependymal fiber elements. These fibers form a dense network having a web-like appearance and a coarse network of fibers running over the ventricular surface. The dense, web-like networks are mainly distributed throughout the caudal region of this organ, whereas the coarse networks are observed in the rostral region. In addition to these structures, spherical bodies with diameters approximately 2.5 to 6 μm are also encountered.
