[Morphology of the endocrine portion of the teleost pancreas].

Endocrine component of the crucian (Carassius carassius), carp (Cyprinus carpio), tench (Tinca tinca) and silurus (Silurus glanis) pancreas is structurally organized in the form of pancreatic islets. Gorbusha (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) has, besides the islets, some Brockman's bodies. Endocrine component of the pancreas of Teleostei possesses A-, B-, D and acinar-islet cells "B". All types of cells are shoot-shaped and all have contacts with the capillaries. Extrusion of the hormones from the endocrine cells is carried out via emiocytosis, and in gorbusha at the time of migration--by microapocrine means. Secretory granules were observed to get into the capillaries and make hormonal storage necessary for fish migration. It was demonstrated that endocrine component of the pancreas in Teleostei is highly rich in innervation, neuronal fibers containing small granular vesicles.
