[Ultrastructure of the secretory cells of the bovine prostatic gland: a possible secretion mechanism].
An ultrastructural study of the secretory cells of the Bovine Diseminated Prostatic Gland has been carried out. The main features of the glandular epithelium are described. The suggested mechanism of secretion is compared with those studied in other mammals. The proposed mechanism involves the formation of primary and secondary protrusions and accompanying isolating membrane systems. This process can be visualized in three different ultrastructural phases.
