[The vascular melanocytes of the pia mater and mesentery of the small intestine in the frog: structure and functions].
Melanocytes of frog blood vessels were studied by electron transmission, scanning and vital optical microscopy. The melanocyte distribution on the brain envelope and mesenterial vessels was determined. The morphology and ultrastructure of melanocytes in various tissues were studied. On the base of our results and literary data, the problem of functioning of melanocytes in vessels of internal organs is discussed.
