This paper describes maturation of the surface of the olfactory epithelium of the superior nasal concha of chick embryos from the seventh day of incubation till hatching. From the earliest stages investigated onward, the apical surface of the olfactory epithelium is characterized by variability in the number and configuration of surface protrusions. The growth of olfactory cilia is described and the significance of regional differences in their density is discussed in relation to regional variations in the sensitivity of the epithelium to odorants. The maturation of the respiratory epithelium covering the inferior nasal concha is also described.
本文描述了鸡胚孵化第7天至孵化期间,鸡胚上鼻甲嗅上皮表面的成熟过程。从最早研究的阶段开始,嗅上皮的顶端表面就以表面突起的数量和形态的变异性为特征。文中描述了嗅纤毛的生长,并讨论了其密度区域差异的意义,这与上皮对气味剂敏感性的区域差异有关。还描述了覆盖下鼻甲的呼吸上皮的成熟过程。
