‘Chloride-cell’ — like mitochondria-rich cells of salamander larva gill epithelium

  • Published:
Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Two types of mitochondria-rich cells (MRC) are described ultrastructurally in the gill epithelium of salamander larva. They resemble MRC found in larval ventral epidermis. Histochemical localization of carbonic anhydrase indicated numerous positive reacting cells, most of them flask-shaped. Morphological and functional similarities to fish ‘chloride cells’ are discussed.
