Notes:
The adult dog pineal gland was studied with the electron microscope. Pineal connective tissue spaces were poorly developed and showed capillaries with nonfenestrated endothelial cells. Two cell types, pinealocytes and astrocytes, could be identified in pineal parenchyma. Dog pinealocytes showed microtubules, centrioles, occasional cilia, and well-developed Golgi complexes. These cells showed thin processes with bulbous endings packed with vesicles. Astrocytes were characterized by the presence of numerous filaments. Their processes finished forming a glial layer bordering connective tissue spaces. The presence of myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers was also described.
