The aim of the present study was to reveal the presence of smooth muscle cells in the quail testis. We used an immunocytochemical and ultrastructural approach. The features of smooth muscle cells were present in the cells of the peritubular tissue and of the tunica albuginea. The peritubular cells formed a pseudo-stratified tissue. We suggest that the smooth muscle cells of the quail testis may be important in testicular contractile processes.
本研究的目的是揭示鹌鹑睾丸中平滑肌细胞的存在。我们采用了免疫细胞化学和超微结构方法。在睾丸白膜和睾丸旁组织的细胞中存在平滑肌细胞的特征。睾丸旁细胞形成假复层组织。我们认为鹌鹑睾丸的平滑肌细胞在睾丸收缩过程中可能起重要作用。
