{"title":"Blood vascular organization of the rat carotid body: a scanning electron microscopic study of corrosion casts.","authors":"T Taguchi","doi":"10.1679/aohc.49.243","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1679/aohc.49.243","url":null,"abstract":"The blood vascular bed of the rat carotid body was reproduced with methacrylate and observed under the scanning electron microscope. The carotid body received the proper carotid body artery from the common carotid body artery, which arose from the external carotid or occipital artery and gave off subsidiary branches to the tissues near the carotid body. The proper carotid body artery divided in the carotid body, ultimately breaking up into thick (main) or thin (subsidiary) arterial terminals to form the vascular plexus of the carotid body. This plexus contained both thick and thin capillaries. The thick capillaries arose from the thick and thin arterial terminals and formed the basic capillary network of the carotid body. The thin capillaries were only subsidiary, intercalated among the thick capillaries. A few accessory twigs of the proper carotid body artery passed through the carotid body and supplied the adipose and other tissues around the carotid body. Many venules arose from the thick capillaries of the carotid body and were collected into rostral and caudal efferent veins. These efferent veins received the veins from the tissues adjacent to the carotid body, and drained into the internal jugular vein. No arterio-venous anastomosis was found in, on or around the carotid body. The common carotid body artery and its subsidiary branches showed, at their origins, marked constrictions indicative of the arterial cushions, though the proper carotid body artery and its accessory twigs were not provided with such clear constrictions. These findings suggest that the inflow of blood into the common carotid body artery may be regulated by its constriction, especially of its arterial cushion, and that the subsidiary branches of the common carotid body artery and the accessory twigs of the proper carotid body artery may act as bypass-routes to eliminate the excessive inflow of blood into the carotid body. It is considered that the thin arterial terminals and thin capillaries may act as buffer channels to homogenize the blood flow within the carotid body.","PeriodicalId":8387,"journal":{"name":"Archivum histologicum Japonicum = Nihon soshikigaku kiroku","volume":"49 2","pages":"243-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1679/aohc.49.243","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14886314","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}

Megakaryoblasts were classified into the following three types according to the formation patterns of the demarcation membrane. The P-type megakaryoblasts showed plate-like membrane invaginations in large localized areas at early stages. The invaginating membrane developed toward the periphery of the nucleus. The L-type megakaryoblasts showed localized labyrinthine membrane invaginations but no definite direction in its development. The T-type megakaryoblasts had tubular invaginations at multiple sites on the plasma membrane. The P- and L-type cells were observed at 12 and 13 days of gestation. The T-type cells were found after the 14th day. In all the types of megakaryoblasts the membrane invagination occurred in the areas making contact with hepatocytes. It was agreed that the cells of the megakaryocytic series in which the demarcation membrane developed contrary to the basic pattern were ordinary promegakaryocytes. The megakaryocytes forming networks of the demarcation membrane dividing into platelet areas were small in cell size.

The monocytes exhibited conspicuous phagocytic activity. At 30 min or earlier and 4 hr after the perfusion, they ingested considerable amounts of the carbon particles, which were deposited in small vacuoles and/or lysosomes. In this study we revealed two transitional forms of the monocyte changing into the Kupffer cell. In one transitional form, which already at 15 min after the perfusion stored considerable amounts of the particles, the ectoplasmic layer was partly differentiated and projected many pseudopodia into the sinusoid. At 48 hr after the perfusion, the other transitional form was attached by its wide basal surface to the endothelial linig and projected well-developed pseudopodia into the sinusoid like the Kupffer cell without, however, storing the carbon particles. These findings are thought to suggest the transformation of the monocytes into the Kupffer cells. Thus we came to the assumption that the Kupffer cells might be replenished: by self-proliferation; by the macrophages from the hepatic parenchyme into the sinusoid; or by transformation from the monocytes circulating into the sinusoid (the \"triple origin\" as opposed to the \"dual origin\" of the Kupffer cell). In the earliest stage after India ink perfusion, the thrombocytes exhibited the most striking reaction comparable to the Kupffer cells toward which they were assembled. The India ink particles were taken up into the \"surface connected canalicular system\" (SCS), which thickened and made vacuolar expansions as the amount of the particles was increased. At 4 hr after perfusion, the particles disappeared from the majority of the thrombocytes, leaving an empty SCS. The India ink particle uptake and storage by the thrombocyte were thought to be temporary phenomena, different from the true phagocytosis of the macrophages.</p>","PeriodicalId":8387,"journal":{"name":"Archivum histologicum Japonicum = Nihon soshikigaku kiroku","volume":"49 2","pages":"199-209"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1679/aohc.49.199","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13577935","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}
