A comparative study using optical and electron transmission and scanning microscopes was carried out to determine the cells that comprise the wall of the third ventricle of the rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Three cell types have been distinguished: type I cells are the most numerous and may present a flat, cubical or cylindrical aspect, with cilia and microvilli at their apical end. Type II cells have an irregular elongated morphology, lack cilia on their luminal end and show functional characteristics of secretory cells. Type III cells are also elongated, and bear irregular protrusions at the apical end. A long process at the basal end of these cells goes deep into the neuropil and becomes related with neurons or blood vessels; these correspond to tanycytes.
利用光学显微镜、透射电子显微镜和扫描电子显微镜进行了一项比较研究，以确定构成家兔（穴兔）第三脑室壁的细胞。已区分出三种细胞类型：I型细胞数量最多，可能呈扁平、立方或柱状形态，顶端有纤毛和微绒毛。II型细胞形态不规则且细长，管腔端无纤毛，具有分泌细胞的功能特征。III型细胞也呈细长形，顶端有不规则突起。这些细胞基端的一个长突起深入神经毡，并与神经元或血管相关；这些细胞对应于伸展细胞。
