The vomeronasal epithelia of NMRI mouse. A scanning electron-microscopic study.

T Naguro, W Breipohl.   

Abstract

The features of the apical and lateral surfaces of cells of the vomeronasal epithelium were studied in adult male mice by scanning electron microscopy. Supporting cells and receptor cells of the neuroepithelium are covered with microvilli. Microvilli of the sensory cells are longer and thinner than those of the supporting cells. Additionally, the former differ in local distribution, orientation, occurrence of branching and appearance of the cell coat. The receptor-free epithelium consists most likely of one cell type only, which shows different structural modifications including the presence, number and length of microvilli and cilia. In the transitional region, between the neuroepithelium and the receptor-free epithelium, immature receptor cells are present.
