[The fine structure of the epithelium of the main outlets from the liver and pancreas of the domestic chicken (author's transl)].
Light- and electronmicroscopic and some histochemical investigations on the major excretory ducts of pancreas and liver was carried out on 24 adult chicken. The epithelium of both ducts was shown to include: cells with apical secretory granules, non-differenciated duct cells, ciliated cells and migrating cells. In addition the epithelium of the pancreatic ducts included goblet cells. The distal plasmalemm and the microvilli are covered with surfacecoat, which like the secretory granules produces precipitate with PA-silver. This area of the cell also shows a strong reaction to M++ and Ca++ activated ATPase.
