Abstract

The microanatomy and ultrastructure of the digestive diverticulum of Mytilus galloprovincialis were described using light and electron microscopy. The digestive diverticulum of tawny color was surrounded the stomach and connected to stomach by a primary duct. Digestive diverticulum is composed of numerous digestive tubules. The epithelial layer of a simple digestive tubule, which is simple, is composed of basophilic cells and digestive cells. Basophilic cells are columnar in shape, and has a well-developed endoplasmic reticula, tubular mitochondria, Golgi complex and membrane-bounded granules of high electron density in the cytoplasm. Whereas digestive cells are columnar in shape, with development of microvilli and cilia on the free surface. Pinocytic vasicles, active lysosomes and numerous mitochondria were observed in the apical cytoplasm of digestive cells. The results of this study suggest that basophilic cell and digestive cell of the digestive tubule are specialized in the extracellular and intracellular digestion, respectively.

지중해담치 소화맹낭의 해부학적 구조와 미세구조를 광학 및 전자현미경을 이용하여 기재하였다. 소화맹낭은 황갈색으로 위를 둘러싸고 위치하며, 일차소관으로 위와 연결되어 있었다. 소화맹낭은 다수의 소화선세관들로 구성되며, 각각의 소화선세관은 단층 상피층으로 호염기성세포와 소화세포들로 이루어져 있었다. 호염기성세포는 원주형이며, 세포질에는 잘 발달된 조면소포체, 관상의 미토콘드리아, 골지체 및 전자밀도가 높고 막을 가진 분비과립들을 함유하고 있었다. 소화세포는 원주형이며, 자유면에는 섬모와 미세융모가 발달되어 있었다. 세포질 상부에서는 음소포, 활성 용해소체 및 미토콘드리아가 관찰되었다. 본 연구에서 이러한 결과는 소화선세관의 호염기성세포와 소화세포는 각각 세포외 소화와 세포내 소화에 적당하게 분화되었음을 의미한다.
