|
Histological studies on the spleen of mud turtle(Amyda sinensis) in Korea were made and the results obtained were as follows: 1. Smooth muscle cells are absent in the capsule of the spleen, although reticular, elastic and collagenous fibers are presnet as in the spleen of other mammals. 2. The trabeculs of the spleen tissue are more highly developed than those of frog and do not extend as deeply into the splenic pulp as the trabecula of mammals. 3. The structure of blood system in the spleen is found to be similar to that of mammals. Particularly, the central arteries of spleen are more highly developed, but the splenic sinus appears to be less developed than that of mammals. 4. The ratio of red pulp and white pulp in the splenic pulp appears to be 1. 5. More hemopoietic cells are seen in the spleen of turtle than in the spleen of mammals.
