After removal of connective tissues by the NaOH maceration method, adrenal gland stellate cells of monkeys, rats and rabbits were studied by scanning electron microscopy. The stellate cells were situated in the perivascular and interstitial spaces and showed an ovoid cell body with numerous round or flat processes. Through these processes they were in contact with other adjacent stellate cells and thus formed a continuous cellular net around capillaries and parenchymal cells. This net, which probably provides a cellular scaffolding for the gland, may also play additional roles such as capillary contraction and nutrition for adjacent parenchymal cells.

采用氢氧化钠浸软法去除结缔组织后，运用扫描电子显微镜对猴、大鼠和兔的肾上腺星状细胞进行了研究。星状细胞位于血管周围和间质间隙，呈卵圆形细胞体，具有许多圆形或扁平的突起。通过这些突起，它们与其他相邻的星状细胞接触，从而在毛细血管和实质细胞周围形成一个连续的细胞网络。这个网络可能为腺体提供细胞支架，也可能发挥其他作用，如毛细血管收缩和为相邻实质细胞提供营养。
