The opercular epithelium of Fundulus heteroclitus contains typical gill chloride-secreting cells at the high density of 4 X 10(5) cells per square centimeter. When isolated, mounted as a membrane, and short-circuited, it actively transports chloride ions from the blood side to the seawater side of the preparation. This preparation offers a useful approach to the study of osmoregulation in bony fishes.
底鳉的鳃盖上皮含有典型的鳃氯分泌细胞,其密度高达每平方厘米4×10⁵个细胞。当分离出来、制成膜并进行短路处理时,它能将氯离子从制剂的血液侧主动转运到海水侧。这种制剂为研究硬骨鱼类的渗透压调节提供了一种有用的方法。
