Abstract
Electron microscopic studies on aortas of normal mongrel dogs revealed a special form of degeneration of vascular smooth muscle cells and the mode of origin of 'ghost bodies'. These are formed by budding off portions of cytoplasm of smooth muscle cells probably as a result of worsening of the metabolic situation of these cells with increasing age.Entities:
