    Notes: The parenchymal components of rat submandibular gland were examined by scanning electron microscopy after removal of the stromal connective tissue by acid hydrolysis and/or enzymatic digestion. Secretory acini have polymorphous topographies but usually consist of three to five truncated lobes emanating from a common hilus. They have a mean volume of about 33,000 μm3. Myoepithelial cells are associated with the deeper acini of the gland where they cover ⋍ 54% of the surface area of their allied acini. Each flattened myoepithelial cell has a central perikaryon that gives rise to four or five broad primary processes that bifurcate two or three times to produce a total complement of 20 to 40 terminal processes per cell, each 0.5 μm to 1.7 μm wide. The terminal processes of adjacent myoepithelial cells tend to slightly overlap and to attach to each other by desmosomes forming a network over adjacent acini. The components of the duct system are examined and each characterized by salient features as observed with the SEM.

    Reflector cells in the skin of Octopus dofleini (1980)

    Notes: Summary The cells that form the reflecting layer beneath the chromatophore organs of the octopus are conspicuous elements of its dermal chromatic system. Each flattened, ellipsoidal reflector cell in this layer bears thousands of peripherally radiating, discoidal, reflecting lamellae. Each lamella consists of a proteinaceous reflecting platelet enveloped by the plasmalemma. The lamellae average 90 nm in thickness and have variable diameters with a maximum of about 1.7 μm. Sets of reflecting lamellae are organized into functional units called reflectosomes. The lamellae in each reflectosome form a parallel array - similar to a stack of coins. The average number of lamellae in a reflectosome is 11. Adjacent lamellae are uniformly separated by an extracellular gap of about 60 nm in embedded specimens. The reflectosomes are randomly disposed over the surface of the reflector cell. The observed organization of the reflectosome is compatible with its role as a quarter-wave thin-film interference device. The alternating reflecting lamellae and interlamellar spaces constitute layers of high and low refractive indices. Using measurements of the thicknesses and refractive indices of the platelets and interlamellar spaces, we have calculated that the color of reflected light should be blue ⊔reen, as seen in vivo. The sequence of events leading to the definitive arrangement of the reflectosomes is uncertain. The reflector cells of O. dofleini are compared and contrasted with the iridophores of squid.

    Cephalopod integument: The ultrastructure of Kölliker's organs and their relationship to setae (1974)

    Notes: Summary Kölliker's tufts are transient epidermal bristles found on the external surfaces of late embryonic and juvenile octopods. The structure and growth of Kölliker's tuft is remarkably similar to that of polychaete setae. Each tuft is a fasicle of approximately 1500 distally tapered cannular rodlets located in an epidermal follicle composed of several lateral follicular cells and a single basal chaetoblast. The base of the follicle is associated with obliquely striated dermal muscle fibers. Together these elements comprise Kölliker's organ. The rodlets, composed of longitudinally oriented filaments, are separated basally from one another by a layered meshwork of interstitial filaments. Microvilli on the apical concave surface of the scyphate chaetoblast insert into the base of each rodlet. We infer that the tuft elongates by basal appositional growth and that glycoprotein secreted by the follicle cells is organized into filaments by the apical plasmalemma of the chaetoblast. Each microvillus serves as a template for the formation of a rodlet, therefore the number, size, shape, distribution and dynamic activity of the microvilli determine the morphology of the tuft.
