Endocrine cells (apudocytes) and neuroepithelial bodies (NEBs) were revealed in the lungs of rats of different ages by Grimelius' argyrophilic method. Solitary apudocytes were found among the bronchial epitheliocytes, they had the oval, columnar or triangular shape. NEBs comprise groups of argyrophilic cells, in some cases the penetration of neural fibers into the bodies and their branching in the terminals are observed. Apudocytes and NEBs in 1-, 7-, and 15-day-old rats are more numerous in the epithelium of small than big bronchi. In 21- and 30-day-old and in adult animals apudocytes and NEBs are very scarce. The elements under study are likely to take part in the early postnatal development of the rat lungs.
采用格里梅利乌斯嗜银法在不同年龄大鼠的肺中发现了内分泌细胞（亲银细胞）和神经上皮小体（NEBs）。在支气管上皮细胞之间发现了单个亲银细胞，它们呈椭圆形、柱状或三角形。NEBs由嗜银细胞群组成，在某些情况下，可观察到神经纤维穿入小体并在其末端分支。1日龄、7日龄和15日龄大鼠的亲银细胞和NEBs在小支气管上皮中比在大气管上皮中更多。在21日龄、30日龄和成年动物中，亲银细胞和NEBs非常稀少。所研究的这些成分可能参与了大鼠肺的出生后早期发育。
