Abstract
The method of determining the concentration of mast cells in all tissues of an organ as described gives statistically correct values. The use of this method has shown that the concentration of mast cells within the confines of one morpho-functional zone in organs of the digestive tract of rats and frogs is constant. In the tongue it is the same both along the length of the organ and in symmetrically opposite parts. The concentration of mast cells falls from the tongue toward the stomach.
