Scanning electron microscopy of large intestine (caecum and colon) of rabbit during foetal and post-natal life.
The surface pattern of the large intestine mucosa (caecum and colon) of the rabbit was examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM), in stages ranging from 26 days of foetal to 24 days of post-natal life. It was composed of villi in the foetus and in 1-day-old rabbit. By the 16th day of life these villi were replaced by ridges.
