Abstract

The anatomy and histology of the olfactory organ in Favonigobius gymnauchen was investigated using a stereo microscopy, light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The paired olfactory organs in the dorsal snout are set in between the upper lip and the eyes. These organs are composed of two openings (anterior nostril with a tubular structure and posterior nostril), a single olfactory cavity, two nasal sac (ethmoidal and lacrimal sacs), olfactory nerve and olfactory bulb. The distributional pattern of the sensory epithelium is a only one type (continuous type). This epithelium is made up of the receptor cell, supporting cell and basal cell. The receptor cell has a only one type (ciliated receptor cell with 3~4 cilia). The non-sensory epithelium is built of the stratified epithelial cells and has mucous openings on the surface. Such an olfactory organ in F. gymnauchen may be considered to reflect its ecological habitat as a shallow water or tidal pool in the coastal zone.

한국산 날개망둑 Favonigobius gymnauchen 후각기관은 2015년 7월과 8월 사이 전라북도 부안군 변산면 격포리의 조간대에서 채집된 개체들을 대상으로 실체현미경, 광학현미경 그리고 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 해부학 및 조직학적 특징들을 조사하였다. 후각기관은 두부 주둥이 위 좌우로 한 쌍이 존재하며, 전비공과 후비공, 한개의 비강, 두 개의 비낭, 후신경, 그리고 후구로 구성되었다. 비강 내 감각상피는 연결성 유형의 분포를 보였으며, 섬모성 감각세포만을 가지고 있었고, 감각세포, 지지세포, 기저세포들로 구성되었다. 비감각상피는 층상상피세포들로 구성되었으며, 표면에 많은 점액공을 가지고 있었다. 따라서 이러한 후각기관의 특징들은 연안지역 조수 웅덩이와 수심이 얕은 조간대의 생태적 서식처와 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 여겨진다.
