    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der Pecten oculi des Haushuhns wurde licht-, scanning- und transmissions-elektronenmikroskopisch sowie mit der Gefrierätz-Technik unter besonderer Berücksichtigung seiner Kapillarstruktur untersucht. Die Kapillaren bilden ausgedehnte anastomosierende Netze. Ihre Endothelzellen besitzen sowohl apikal (luminal) als auch basal längsorientierte Mikrofalten. Es wird angenommen, daß die Ausbildung der apikalen endothelialen Oberflächendifferenzierung haemodynamisch bedingt ist. Hierbei wird gleichzeitig ausreichend Platz für membrangebundene Fermente geschaffen, die für aktive energie-verbrauchende transzelluläre Transportprozesse benötigt werden. Die Gefrierätzbefunde lassen unterschiedlich strukturierte Membranoberflächen an den Mikrofalten erkennen, die im Zusammenhang mit Transportfunktionen der Kapillarendothelzellen des Pectenoculi diskutiert werden. Vermutlich spielt der Pecten eine wichtige Rolle für die Ernährung von Retina und Glaskörper.
    Notes: Summary The pecten oculi of the domestic chicken was examined with light, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and with freeze-etching techniques. Particular attention has been given to the capillary structure. The capillaries form an extensive anastomotic network. Their endothelial cells have apical (luminal), as well as basal, longitudinally oriented microfolds. It is assumed that the formation of apical differentiations of the endothelial surface is due to haemodynamic influences. Thus, sufficient surface area for membrane bound enzymes is achieved. These enzymes are necessary for active transcellular transport processes that require energy. In freeze-etched material, two different structures of the membrane surface of microfolds can be recognized. These results are discussed in relation to transport functions through capillary endothelial cells of the pecten. It is assumed that the pecten plays an important role in the nourishment of the retina and vitreous body.

    Notes: In osteochondrosis juvenilis Scheuermann, foci of various sizes in the cartilaginous end plates of the vertebral bodies display a loosening or complete interruption of the collagen fibers. These findings, together with an alteration and occasional absence of the growth zone, may result in the typical deformation of the vertebral bodies. Electron micrographs of the areas with optically absent collagen fibers reveal collagen fibrils. They are arranged in an irregular pattern. We conclude that a disturbance of collagen or ground substance biosynthesis is of importance in the pathogenesis of juvenile osteochondrosis.
