The organization and ultrastructure of the accessory glands of the cattle tick, Boophilus microplus, are described. The glands consist of two groups of acinar cells situated on either side of Gene's organ. A single acinus consists of from eight to 12 cells and each cell is connected via an individual duct to pores on the dorsal surface of the mouthparts. The position of these pores is such that the secretion of the accessory glands is incorporated into the egg wax during oviposition. Each gland cell has striking quantities of smooth endoplasmic reticulum and numerous Golgi dictyosomes and appears to produce a secretion that is lipoidal in nature. Each cell secretes into its own individual lumen and is connected to a cuticular pore by a duct cell.
本文描述了微小牛蜱附属腺的组织结构和超微结构。这些腺体由位于吉恩氏器两侧的两组腺泡细胞组成。单个腺泡由8至12个细胞组成，每个细胞通过一条单独的导管与口器背面的小孔相连。这些小孔的位置使得附属腺的分泌物在产卵时融入卵蜡中。每个腺细胞含有大量的滑面内质网和众多高尔基体囊泡，似乎产生一种本质上为脂类的分泌物。每个细胞分泌到自己的管腔中，并通过一个导管细胞与一个表皮小孔相连。
