Histochemical characterization of the olfactory epithelium of an Indian major carp, Catla catla (Hamilton, 1822)

摘要: The present study is related to the histochemical investigations on changes in intensity of reactions axons, acid and neutral mucopolysaccharides, biologically active macromolecules, particularly glycogen protein component as well alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) cells lining olfactory epithelium Catla catla . intense reaction silver stain was well-marked primary receptor synaptic contacts between secondary cells. maximum mucin protein, discernible secretory non-secretory mucous Various shades were detected cells, stratified epithelial Concentration ALPase found be associated with central core along basement membrane. Acute ATPase activity evidenced basal nerve fibers core. Histochemical various discussed functional importance fish concerned.
