The ultrastructural analysis of the adenohypophysis in the male Chinese quail reveals seven different types of granular cells, and agranular folliculo-stellate cells. The cell types are assumed to be endocrine cells and are classified as: Type I cells (presumptive LH-gonadotrophs), with dilated endoplasmic reticulum, perinuclear spaces, and granules of 150--260 nm; Type II cells (presumptive FSH-gonadotrophs), with regularly-shaped cytoplasmic cisterns and small granules (80--150 nm); Type III cells (presumptive thyrotrophs), very close in appearance to the type II cells of normal birds; Type IV cells (presumptive prolactin cells), with very large secretory granules (up to 400 nm), Type V cells (presumptive corticotrophs), with abundant and electron-dense granules (160--300 nm); Type VI cells, with irregularly-shaped granules; Type VII cells (presumptive somatotrophs), with abundant granules (130--220 nm) and less cytoplasmic structures. Cytological characteristics of the nucleus, and more particularly the presence of a Feulgen-postive nucleolus with a very particular ultrastructure are here reported. It is proposed that heterospecific associations of Chinese quail cells with chick cells can be used in embryological work for the study of cellular interactions.
对雄性中国鹌鹑腺垂体的超微结构分析显示有七种不同类型的颗粒细胞和无颗粒的滤泡星状细胞。这些细胞类型被认为是内分泌细胞，并分类如下：I型细胞（推测为促黄体生成素促性腺激素细胞），内质网扩张，有核周间隙，颗粒大小为150 - 260纳米；II型细胞（推测为促卵泡生成素促性腺激素细胞），有规则形状的胞质池和小颗粒（80 - 150纳米）；III型细胞（推测为促甲状腺激素细胞），外观与正常鸟类的II型细胞非常相似；IV型细胞（推测为催乳素细胞），有非常大的分泌颗粒（可达400纳米）；V型细胞（推测为促肾上腺皮质激素细胞），有丰富且电子致密的颗粒（160 - 300纳米）；VI型细胞，颗粒形状不规则；VII型细胞（推测为生长激素细胞），有丰富的颗粒（130 - 220纳米）且细胞质结构较少。本文报道了细胞核的细胞学特征，尤其是存在具有非常特殊超微结构的福尔根阳性核仁。有人提出，中国鹌鹑细胞与鸡细胞的异种特异性结合可用于胚胎学研究中的细胞相互作用研究。
