摘要:
AbstractThe apical part of the olfactory epithelium inMyxine glutinosawas investigated by optical and electron microscopy. This part of the epithelium consists of supporting cells and two types of olfactory receptor cells,i.e., ciliated receptor cells and microvillous receptor cells. The olfactory cilia have a 9 + 0 pattern of the microtubules, occasionally with one pair of the doublets dislocated towards the center of the cilium. Giant cilia were observed. The supporting cells bear microvilli and are rich in tonofilaments. The supporting cells also have a secretory function, their secretion consisting mainly of acid mucopolysaccharides. An asymmetrical type of desmosome was found between the olfactory receptor cells and the supporting cells.
