[Scanning electron microscopy studies on epithel surface of the plica vocalis in male rats (author's transl)].
The epithelial surface of the Plica vocalis in adult male rat is studied by scanning electron microscopy. It's structure is compared with that of the plica and of the recessus ventricularis. The transition of the epithelium in the plica vocalis to the epithelium of the joining parts of the larynx is documented. Special attention is paid to the occurrence of microridges at the apical poles of epithelial cells in the larynx. Up to now microridge cells have been said to be characteristic for the plica vocalis.
