By stage 17 the total number of occipitovertebral \"units,\" namely 38 or 39, is attained. Resegmentation (Neugliederung) of sclerotomes is not supported. A new scheme of somitic/vertebral correlation is proposed in which somites and centra are in register. Differential growth of the regions of the vertebral column was calculated, and it was found that the percentages of the total column occupied by the various regions vary from one stage to another. The cervical and coccygeal regions decrease, the thoracic and lumbar regions increase, and the sacral region remains more or less constant during embryonic development. The following structures descend with reference to the vertebral column during the embryonic period proper: roots of lower limbs, thyroid gland and thymus, tracheal bifurcation, lungs, heart, diaphragm, abdominal arteries, mesonephroi, and suprarenal glands. The gonads may descend slightly. The scapulae and the separation point between the trachea and the esophagus remain at a fairly constant level. The metanephroi ascend. The migration of many of these structures (e.g., the heart, diaphragm, and metanephroi) is much more marked in the embryonic period than later although it continues during the fetal and postnatal periods. The conus medullaris ascends during the fetal period. Anomalies of migration that affect such organs as the thyroid gland, gonads, and metanephroi are discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":50815,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Anatomy","volume":"177 1","pages":"3-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/aja.1001770103","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14657832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intralobular lymphatics were related primarily to tubules, afferent arterioles, and renal corpuscles and were consistent with lymph formation from both plasma filtrate and tubular reabsorbate. Interlobular lymphatics were seen in connective tissue associated with the interlobular blood vessels. Rabbit cortex contained only interlobular lymphatics. Cross-sectional area, maximum diameter, volume density, and profile density were determined by stereological measurements using a computer-based image analyzer. The morphological data from the rat were used, in combination with published values for lymph flow, to calculate the rate of lymph formation per unit area of endothelium in lymphatics of the renal cortex. Among kidneys fixed by retrograde perfusion, the cortical lymphatic system was most extensive in maximum diameter, volume density, and profile density. It was smallest in the rabbit and intermediate in the rat. Lower volume and profile density were found for rat kidneys fixed by the dripping technique. It was concluded that: tubular reabsorbate probably contributes to renal lymph in the rat and hamster, but not in the rabbit; significant differences exist in the extent of the renal lymphatic systems among the three species, with the hamster kidney having the richest network and the rabbit the poorest; the method of fixation influences the measured size and density of renal cortical lymphatics; and the estimated rate of lymph formation in the kidney of the rat is roughly comparable to that in the dog.</p>","PeriodicalId":50815,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Anatomy","volume":"177 1","pages":"21-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/aja.1001770104","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14894976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mesenchyme escapes from the placode to form neurons of the trigeminal (V) ganglion. To further our knowledge of the morphogenesis of this escape, plastic thick sections were cut from mouse embryos and stained for light microscopy by using a technique which revealed escaping mesenchyme. The escape of trigeminal mesenchyme began at approximately 12 somites of age and was substantially complete by 30 somites. These results provided spatial/temporal orientation for a subsequent electron microscopic study. The first ultrastructural manifestation of escape was the penetration of an otherwise continuous basal lamina by small cell processes. The presence of longitudinally oriented microtubules within these processes suggests that mesenchymal cells escape through the basal lamina by using microtubules to direct/move their contents (e.g., the cell nucleus) into an enlarging process. Nuclei were distorted as they passed into these processes. This distortion suggests that basal lamina, together with a possible contribution from basal microfilaments, forms a rigid obstruction which is disrupted in the region from which a process is formed. In some cases a collar of basal lamina was observed around the necks of processes, but their distal membranes were invariably lamina-free. This lamina-free membrane is possibly that which is newly formed to accommodate the growing process. In later stages of escape, instances were observed in which the lamina was completely absent beneath an escaping cell and partially degraded beneath adjacent cells as well. These instances suggest that enzymatic digestion may play a role in degrading the lamina during mesenchymal escape. Apical desmosomes were often retained beyond the initial stages of escape. Mechanisms involved in their disruption are thus not among those which initiate escape.</p>","PeriodicalId":50815,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Anatomy","volume":"176 1","pages":"19-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/aja.1001760103","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14610499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Representative random samples from all retinal quadrants, obtained at various times during these lighting regimes, were processed for electron microscopy. The synaptic terminals of all three photoreceptor cell types in this retina (alpha and paranuclear rods, and cones) were analyzed with computer-assisted morphometrics for changes in their area, perimeter, synaptic vesicle density, and the degree of plasmalemmal infolding. The data showed all three types of adult receptor terminals to have increased area and vesicle density, as well as decreased membrane infolding, during the light period, while both types of rods showed increased perimeter measurements in the dark. Results from adults maintained under extended lighting conditions (LL and DD) showed no difference when compared with sample times during a typical LD 12:12 lighting regimen where clear statistical differences existed. Data from fetal retinas showed no significant sustainable pattern in any of the measured variables. These quantitative findings have led to the conclusion that while alterations in perimeter measurements may be explained by using the vesicle recycling hypothesis, observed changes in terminal size and shape may be controlled by a light-initiated or light-enhanced mechanism and effected through an annular configuration of cross-striated fibrils found within these photoreceptor synaptic terminals.</p>","PeriodicalId":50815,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Anatomy","volume":"176 1","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/aja.1001760102","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14847828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Morphometric analysis of conventional electron micrographs revealed an increase in the number of axons containing no dense-core vesicles following orchidectomy, but no decrease in volume density of the neuropil.

The mitogenic property of con A in lymphocyte cultures is well documented; therefore con A has been used extensively to study the manner in which lymphocytes and other mononuclear cells process the cell-bound lectin. In this study, we have investigated the processing of con A-receptor complexes by osteoclasts in culture, using con A-FITC to evaluate the redistribution of cell-bound con A via epifluorescence microscopy and using con A-ferritin to determine whether the lectin receptor complexes are internalized. The osteoclasts were obtained from the long bones of newborn rats and allowed to attach to glass coverslips at 37 degrees C. Following attachment, the nonadherent cells were removed by rinsing. The adherent osteoclasts were preincubated in 50 micrograms/ml con A-FITC or con A-ferritin at 4 degrees C for 10 min, washed to remove unbound con A, and incubated at 37 degrees C for 15 or 30 min in the absence of con A. Positive controls were fixed immediately after preincubation at 4 degrees C; negative controls were preincubated in con A-FITC and alpha-methyl mannoside, the haptenic inhibitor of con A binding. The results demonstrate that redistribution and endocytosis of con A-receptor complexes occurs within 30 min. These findings confirm the hypothesis that cell-bound con A can alter the structure and activity of osteoclast membrane components in a manner similar to that observed in mononuclear cell cultures.
