An electron microscopic study of the iris stroma in monkey and rabbit with particular reference to intercellular contacts and sympathetic innervation of anterior layer cells

摘要: Abstract Electron microscopy of the iris stroma in monkey and rabbit revealed: 1. (1) Naked axons containing dense-core vesicles permanganate fixed tissue. The were closely related both to melanocytes fibroblasts anterior layer contrast findings subjacent stroma. 2. (2) In rather few this type observed layer, but species connected through nexi. 3. (3) Macular junctions found between species. It is concluded that these are sympathetic nature, they perhaps innervate cells, which together with nerve terminals may release secretory products into aqueous humour. heterochromic spots occurring some six months after ipsilateral superior cervical ganglionectomy briefly discussed view presented observations.
