title: The epithelial surface of the monkey gastrointestinal tract. A scanning electron-microscopic study.
abstract: A scanning electron-microscopic investigation of the luminal surface of the primate gastrointestinal tract has been performed using tissue prepared by critical point drying. This report defines criteria for identifying different segments of the normal primate gastrointestinal tract on the pasis of scanning electron-microscopic observations of the epithelial surface.
