title: Adenosine triphosphatase activity in the carotid rete-cavernous sinus complex of sheep and goats.
abstract: The carotid rete-cavernous sinus structures of sheep and goats were frozen with liquid nitrogen or with Freon liquid spray and were cryo-sectioned at -20 C. The main concentration of sodium- and potassium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase was on the tunica intima, especially on the endothelial cells of rete branches and the cavernous sinus. Little reaction product was discernible in the tunica media and the tunica adventitia.
