Abstract
The study was designed to investigate the aspects of the goblet cell of the oviduct in laying Korean ring-necked pheasants by histochemical methods (PAS, alcian blue-PAS, alcian blue pH 2.5, alcian blue pH 1.0, and aldehyde fuchsin-alcian blue stain). Twelve laying Korean ring-necked pheasants were used. The results were summarized as follows. The goblet cell of the oviduct of the Korean ring-necked pheasant contained sulfated acid mucosubstances and neutral mucosubstances in the infundibulum. The compounds of sulfated acid mucosubstances, nonsulfated acid mucosubstances, and neutral mucosubstances are present in goblet cells of the magnum, vagina and openings of the tubular gland of the uterus of the oviduct in the Korean ring-necked pheasant. The goblet cell of the isthmus and uterus of the oviduct of the Korean ring-necked pheasant contained neutral mucosubstances except openings of the tubular gland of the uterus. The histochemical characteristics of secretory granules of goblet cells in oviduct of the Korean ring-necked pheasant were not related to the position of eggs in oviduct.
산란기 한국산 꿩 난관의 술잔세포를 조직화학적으로 분비물의 성상을 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 한국산 꿩 난관 깔때기부의 술잔세포는 황화산성점액물질과 비황화중성점액물을 함유하였다. 난관팽대부, 자궁의 관상샘 개구부, 질의 술잔세포는 황화산성점액물질, 비황화산성점액 물질과 중성점액물질을 함유하였다. 관상샘 개구부의 술잔세포를 제외한 자궁과 난관 좁은 부분의 술잔세포는 중성점액물질을 함유하였다. 한국산 꿩 난관 술잔세포 분비물질의 조직화학적 특징은 난관내의 알의 위치와 연관성이 없었다.
