Abstract

The foregut epithelium of the last instar larva in the scarab beetle, Allomyrina dichotoma was observed with electron microscopes. The foregut epithelium of the scarab beetle larva is composed of a single-layered squamous absorptive cell. The luminal surface of the epithelium is covered with cuticular intima. The free surface of the squamous cell has a irregular array of microvilli 'brush border', while cell membrans close to the basal lamina are infolded and a lot of mitochondria are concentrated in those processes. The cytoplasm in the epithelial cells is well developed nucleus, mitochondria. And the basal region of cell contains large lipid-, protein droplets and numerous glycogen granules. The basal lamina is located between the basal membrane and muscle bundle, providing barrier between the epithelium and the hemolymph. The epithelium is surround by the subepithelial space and muscles. The subepithelial space, which is composed of fibrous connective tissue is innervated by many tracheoles and axon.

장수풍뎅이 (Allomyrina dichotoma; Dynastidae; Coleoptera)를 사육하여 종령 유충의 전장 상피를 구성하는 세포들에 대한 미세구조를 전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 상피조직은 편상피 세포들이 단층의 점막상피를 이루었으며, 그 내면은 얇은 큐티클 층으로 덮여 있었다. 상피세포의 유리면 원형질막은 미세융모로 변형되었고, 기저 원형질막은 기저막주름이 잡혀 "canaliculi"를 만들며 크게 발달한 사립체와 접해 있었다. 핵은 크게 발달하였고 세포질 내에는 발달한 사립체가 산재해 있었으며, 지질 및 단백질 과립과 글리코겐 입자들이 많이 축적되었다. 상피의 기저막은 여러겹으로 된 기저초를 이루고 있으며, 기저막내 또는 섬유상 결합조직인 점막하조직내에는 기관지세포와 신경이 뻗어 있었다. 그리고 점막하 조직 바깥쪽에는 환상근과 종주근이 관찰되었다.
