ULTRA STRUCTURE OF THE PANCREATIC ISLET CELLS OF THE GOAT (CAPRA HIRCUS)

摘要

The pancreatic islet of the goat (Capra hircus) was examined by light and electron microscopy and compared to those previously reported in the open literature.nBy light microscopy, caprine islets were discrete and widely scattered. Most islets stained well for beta granules by aldehyde fuchsin, but alpha cells were never selectively stained. The overwhelming number of cells appeared to be beta cells.
